I know that a lot of people gave this game mediocre reveiws, but the reviewers (from what I learned) aren't Poke-fans.The game has awesome graphics, and it brings a lot of excitement to Pokemon fans. As I said in the title, "It takes a pokemon fan to appreciate this game."

Fun playing wireless

Awesome game! It is great to be able to play with people around the world. If you like pokemons, that's the game. If you have a DS, it gets better!!

Disappointing Wii Game

Santa brought this Wii game for Christmas with the hopes that the two Pokemon fanatics in the house would be thoroughly entertained. Thanks Santa, but in this case, it was the thought that counted.

The battles are just like the DS game -- you select one of 4 attacks to perform on your opponent and the game performs the move. You only use the Wii remote to choose the attack -- not to move, not to attack, only to point and click on an attack option. There is not even a vibration or sound that comes from the remote when attacking or being hit by an attack.

We had hopes of battling such that one player could use the DS and the other the Wii. Unfortunately, upon reviewing the instructions in the manual, it appears you must have multiple DS units in order for the DS to be used in battles.

The kids haven't played with Pokemon Battle Revolution much -- they prefer the Pokemon Diamond/Pearl on the DS.

great!!

this game is great if you already have diamond or pearl. but if you don`t it`s pretty hard to get around losing.you would like it if you like battles, thats all you do. it has great graphics but gets a little boring if your are not upgrading your pokemon or beat it but wifi match`s are always fun. i think they need a spectator or something. you need a strategy (because they are real peaple.)

I don't get the point of this game

I don't know what to do! I go into battles and win them, and so on? What do I win? I get money and can buy things for my trainer? And so what? I don't care if the trainer has a hat...

PROS:
-graphics are beautiful

CONS:
-hey we have a wii mote to use! why don't they use it?
-no story
-too easy unless you play it online, but again I don't feel rewarded when I win a game;

What a joke...

Wow, what an utter dud "Pokemon Battle Revolution" is. I cannot stress enough the embarrassment that Nintendo SHOULD feel at the completely lackluster presentation, or the monotonous single player mode. And while it is fun to play online, I can already do that in the Diamond that I own. But anyway, let's begin

The Good:
1) Graphics - it IS fun to see all 493 Pokemon illustrated in this game (or at least 490, although I think Darkrai, Shaymin and Arceus are there as well). The 3-D graphics are cute (though hardly spectacular), although they are so similar to the designs in "Pokemon:XD" to warrant exceptional praise. I would have at least hoped that the characters would be more sharp than their GC predecessors. Nonetheless, the Pokemon are colorful.

The Bad:
1) Gameplay - Boring. Monotonous. Ultimately pointless. The one-player game is one of the most painful gameplay experiences I've endured, and I've played "Alundra 2". The fact is, the developers spent about five minutes actually thinking of this game.

2) Voices - Annoying. The announcer says the exact same thing after each attack. Come on, now.

3) In-game extras - OK, I'm happy that I can get a Magmortar and an Electavire (but only after entering a special code - you don't even unlock them through the game), and they even have the correct natures. And yeah, a Pikachu that knows surf is kind of nice (hearkening back to the days of "Pokemon Stadium"), but let's get real. "Pokemon Stadium 2" let me play fun little minigames with my friends, and let me play the DS on the TV. Would that REALLY have been that hard to introduce here? The fact is, this games' extras blow chunks. Seriously. You can beat all of the trainers, and guess what? You get to fight them again! Hooray.

4) Rental pokemon - Are you kidding? In "Stadium," I could rent pretty much ANYONE (including Mew), and similarly for 'Stadium 2". Here? I get one of the WORST starter sets imaginable, and I actually have to win with these losers to get other cards unlocked. The fact is, this game is nigh unplayable without your own copy of "Diamond" or "Pearl". Even then, it stinks, but don't even think of believing that this game can even REMOTELY stand alone.

It should be clear. This game is terrible.

Needs more action.

Bought this game, but soon sold it on Ebay. There needs to be more action to this game-especially for a Wii game! You just sit in a chair and pick your battles. What a disappointment!

The real fun is with a DS

This game is only good if you have a developed team in pokemon Diamond or Pearl. If you dont you have to use rental passes. The rental passes have set pokemon, all level 50. That means only your opponents will be level 50. And in some arenas you dont even have to use the set pokemon.
With Diamond or pearl, this game is awesome. The graphics are very good.
You can choose any of your diamond/pearl pokemon to battle with.
In this game you can customize a character, who you battle with. It is hard to get new items, and to get the points to buy them with. Personally, I pretty much stuck with the default.

How do you use these friend codes?! They dont make sense! I guess they are trying to tell us that they use these to protect little kids from Michael Jackson and other malesters. I think Nintendo could of made a easier way to battle other people though. Someone PLEASE tell me how to use these!!!
