Pokémon Battle Revolution was actually the first Pokémon game to be released on the Nintendo Wii. I would say that this is one of the more forgotten Pokémon games and when you think of the Wii and Pokémon, you usually think about the Poke Park series of games. Is there a good reason no one talks about Pokémon Battle Revolution?
Pokemon Battle Revolution game is available to play online and download for free only at Romsget. Pokemon Battle Revolution ROM for Nintendo Wii download requires a emulator to play the game offline. Pokemon Battle Revolution is English (USA) varient and is the best copy available online. Pokemon Battle Revolution is the first Wii game which uses Nintendo Wi-Fi connection and can wirelessly communicate with Nintendo DS. Pokemon Battle Revolution features a new land called Poketopia which comprise of 11 different Colosseums, each with special effects and change to the normal play.
Have You Seen My RPG?
I loved what Pokémon Stadium did on the Nintendo 64. Then what Pokémon Coliseum did on the Game Cube to that concept to a whole new level and added in an RPG to it! So, it goes without saying that most people would expect the more advanced, Pokémon Battle Revolution to have an RPG too. That is not the case, instead of being like the two Pokémon games for Game Cube, this actually has more in common with Pokémon Stadium on the Nintendo 64 in that it is just all about battles.
Welcome To Poketopia!
The idea of the game is that it takes place in a battle theme park called Poketopia. There are 11 different coliseums for Pokémon to battle here and each one has something different about it. For example, The Crystal Coliseum is there for a 16-trainer tournament and the Neon Coliseum is like a game show where a spinning wheel dictates what Pokémon you can use. I like the idea of this as it does add some variety to the game.
Do You Have Pokémon Diamond or Pearl?
Pokémon Battle Revolution is designed to go hand in hand with Pokémon Diamond and Pearl for the Nintendo DS. Like the previous console games, you take your Pokémon from your handheld game and put them into this game. If you do not do this you have to “rent” Pokémon and sorry to say, that feature flat out sucks! If you have Diamond or Pearl (or even both) then you will have a much better time with this game.
Play With A Friend
At the time Pokémon Battle Revolution was the first game to use Nintendo Online and it was very barebones. Sadly, this is the same case for the local multiplayer too. With the single-player mode being so lacking I do feel that the multiplayer is where you will get the most enjoyment out of it, but again much of this will depend on if you have Pokémon Diamond or Pearl.
Pokémon Look Great!
One thing that this game does better than the two on the Game Cube did is the visuals. At this point in time, your favorite Pokémon had never looked as good as they do here. They look great just standing there, but even the animations are very well done. I am very impressed with the visuals in this game and feel they hold up very well to this day.
I would not say that Pokémon Battle Revolution is a bad game, but apart from the visuals. It feels like a massive step back from what the two Game Cube Pokémon games offered. They really should have added in some kind of single-player story to this game. Also, the fact that it is so dependent on Diamond and Pearl is a bit annoying. Still for a die-hard Pokémon fan I am sure there are hours of fun to be had here.
6/10
Pros:
- The Pokémon look amazing
- Even the animations are impressive
- It is great if you have Diamond or Pearl
- It is very easy to get into
- I like how each coliseum has its own gimmick
Cons:
- There is not much to do apart from battle
- Just a very barebones kind of game

Pokémon Battle Revolution (ポケモンバトルレボリューション, Pokemon Batoru Reboryūshon) is the first Wii incarnation of the Pokémon video game franchise. It is also the first Wii game to use the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection in North America and Japan and the second Wii game to wirelessly interact with the Nintendo DS handheld.[citation needed]
Pokémon Battle Revolution features eleven different colosseums in a Pokémon-themed park called Pokétopia.[1] Other features include stadiums that have their own special effects, such as randomizing the order of one's Pokémon. Some other effects are choosing the order of an opponent's Pokémon and setting level limitations.
Gameplay[edit]
The game features 11 different colosseums, each with special changes to normal play or prerequisites and a Colosseum Leader. The Crystal Colosseum holds battles in a 16-person single-elimination tournament mode. The Gateway Colosseum is only open to a rental pass holder, and Neon Colosseum uses a wheel to choose the player's and opponent's battling Pokémon. As the player progresses, the Pokémon available to rent become more powerful. The player also earns Poké-Coupons, the currency of this game. Coupons can be spent to customize the player character's in-game appearance with items such as apparel, face paint, and hair color. Unlike Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, the game doesn't have a story mode.
Pokémon attacks are also much more diverse, with each Pokémon acquiring its own animation for most moves in the game. Some animations feature both the attacking and defending Pokémon on screen at the same time. In previous console titles, the game only showed one Pokémon attacking and then cut away to the second getting hit by the attack.
Along with connectivity to the Nintendo DS games, a player can win Pokémon from this game and transfer them back to their DS games through Mystery Gift. This feature allows players to obtain Pokémon that are either hard or impossible to get without using a cheat device. To unlock the Pokémon, players must achieve certain goals or enter a special code. A Pikachu with the special moves Volt Tackle and Surf can be obtained by beating each Colosseum once, whereas an Electivire and a Magmortar can be obtained via special codes. In addition to the Pokémon download, players can purchase items like certain Technical Machines and evolution items.
Online functionality[edit]
Pokemon Battle Revolution Dolphin Rom
Pokémon Battle Revolution is the first Pokémon home console title to go online in the United States as well as the first online game for the Wii console. It features two online modes; Battle with a Friend, which allows a player to battle a friend using a friend code,[2] and Battle with Someone, which lets the player face off against a random opponent.[3] After each random battle, players are given the chance to exchange trainer passes. The exchange must be mutual; it will not work if one of the two trainers refuses.
Nintendo DS controls cannot be used in online multiplayer. When playing random online battles, the player's trainer's custom greetings and Pokémon nicknames are all changed to its native nation's defaults; for example, a Japanese Magikarp (コイキング, Koiking) will show its Japanese name instead of its English one. All Pokémon (excluding Generation 5 and on) are allowed in random battles.
Development[edit]
Pokemon Battle Revolution Game Online
The game was first announced by Nintendo president Satoru Iwata at a Nintendo marketing event in Japan on June 7, 2006.[4][5] At the event, Iwata described Wii-to-DS connectivity using the game as an example, stating that gamers with either Pokémon Diamond and/or Pearl can play battles using their Diamond/Pearl Pokémon in Pokémon Battle Revolution, using their DS as a controller.[6]

The DS linkup feature was accessible at 2006 Nintendo World Tour for the first time. As well as allowing Pokémon from a Pokémon Diamond or Pearl cartridge to be used in-game, it replaces the on-screen battle menu used in conjunction with the Wii Remote. The GameCube controller is not compatible with this game. The battle menu is displayed on the DS touchscreen instead, and it is navigated with the stylus. Four players can play in a 1-on-1 tournament much like the Battle Frontier Battle Dome in Pokémon Emerald.[7]
Reception[edit]
Pokémon Battle Revolution received mixed reviews from critics. It received a score of 5.0 out of 10 from IGN,[8] which cites that the game omits several features demonstrated in previous games like Pokémon Stadium and Pokémon Colosseum, such as a role-playing mode. The multiplayer and online functionality of the game is also criticized for lacking functions such as tournament play. GameSpot gave the game a mediocre 5.5 out of 10 score, criticizing the repetitive gameplay and the barebones online support, as well as the fact that if one did not have Pokémon Diamond or Pearl for the DS, there is not nearly as much to do.[9]Game Informer rated it a 5.75 out of 10 saying the same things as GameSpot, and adding their own comment about a tutorial that taught you how to point the Wii Remote.[10]Nintendo Power rated it a 6.5 out of 10, praising the game's multiplayer while criticizing its lack of single player features. Famitsu gave a positive review to the game, with a score of 35 out of 40. Another positive review is from Game Oracle who gave 75% who praised the online mode, graphics, and soundtrack. They criticised it for not being as good as XD: Gale of Darkness and the necessity of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl to open the entire game experience.[11] The game currently has a 53.19% average of 34 aggregated reviews on both GameRankings,[12] and Metacritic.[13]
It sold 850,000 copies in North America and Western Europe[14] and 352,123 copies in Japan,[15] bringing its total sales to 1.202 million.
