There's been evidence to be had that it will show up in the States. The most convincing being:
That. Set up properly with my location, being in the States and in Arkansas exactly. I think they at least have some plans and there has been notice about that online, via social media, that they don't plan to let that brand die any time soon (even going so far as to actively make sure the brand was renewed by a contact over Twitter, which renewed it here).
But I suppose your guess is as good as mine. I'm not slouch but I have a feeling that the community, on the whole, would be ripped apart by the actual competition for Puyo. Most of us in the States can put up a mean Tetris game, but Puyo may as well be calculus at times.
I'm just barely above casual in both, really.
