Pokémon Battle Revolution takes place on an island called Pokétopia, where your goal is to battle your way through challenging Colosseums to become the Pokétopia Master. Pokémon Battle Revolution is the first Wii - Nintendo DS linked title, which means that you can transfer your Pokémon from Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl wirelessly and watch them battle in full 3D!

Pokémon Battle Revolution features three main modes of play: Colosseum Battle Mode, DS Battle Mode, and Wi-Fi Battle Mode. In Colosseum Battle Mode, your goal is to battle your way through a series of Colosseums, each with its own set of rules and challenges. In DS Battle Mode, two to four players can get together to watch their Pokémon battle on the big screen while using their Nintendo DS systems as controllers. To participate in this mode, each player will need his or her own Nintendo DS and copy of Pokémon Diamond or Pokémon Pearl.

Things get really interesting in Wi-Fi Battle Mode, which allows you to battle your friends over Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection using Friend Codes. You can also square off against Trainers from around the world using Pokémon Battle Revolution's Wi-Fi Rank system, which pits you against Trainers that have skill levels similar to your own.

Good game for older players
This game is excellent for one player. However it requires a lot of reading and understanding of the pokemon games. Although it states that it is a two player game you cannot play two players in the main part of the game only against each other. Which is not great. The graphics great and my son loves it. Def for the older child who can read and understand this type of game. My 6yr old had no idea.

Excellent and Visually Impacting.
After my friend showed me the game I bought it straight away, looking forward to the amazing graphics.

The gameplay is pretty much straight forward but there are several ways to play, including using the DS as a controller. It's easy to select your options, but there are lack of modes for Single Player. You can copy pokemon from Diamond or Pearl versions to the Wii, I highly recommend doing this because the pokemon on the Rental Passes are rather bad. So I suggest you get reasonably far on Diamond or Pearl before you buy PBR. (I happen to own Pearl)

The soundtrack is ok... The battle music is repeated often, so it gets rather irratating after a while. My favourite music is the Title Screen which gets you into the mood for playing.

The graphics are the best part and are much, much much better than the DS graphics. I reckon it's the main highlight of this game. They are much better visually, especially the attacks in battle.

I highly suggest this for any Pokemon fan, and ignore any critic reviews that give it a one star. (Sorry for anyone who has given this one star.) But again, you need Diamond or Pearl for this to be the best experience.

It's amazing!
I think this is a really good game because you get to play wi fi & battle with others all over the world. After you have battled them you get to collect thier passes and then you can play with thier pokemon in free battle.
I had both the diamond and pearl and played them often on DS so I was very familiar with the game. I thought it was great to be able to download all my pokemon onto the Wii game.
If you don't have a DS with diamond or pearl it would not be fun!
