Great blog man, I love Tetris Attack/Pokemon Puzzle Challenge.
Yeah, PPL as an e-sport doesn't really work well--I once played a game of PPL 3D mode that was over half an hour, lol. It was exactly as you described--infinite garbage chaining until someone screws up.
What is interesting to do however is speedrunning the single player modes. The SDA record for Tetris Attack is crazy good (8:06 using standard RTA timing--my PB is like 18:00 RTA, lol)
Does puyo puyo have a competitive scene? I've seen streams of people playing it on some online server but idk how big it is.

In Japan, the competitive scene is massive. To give you an idea of how popular it is, Japanese fighting game tournament sometimes include Puyo Puyo. At its height, the Puyo national tournament had the audience size of OGN Starleague finals.
