Pokémon Battle Revolution: The best Pokémon battler, the worst Pokémon game.

User Rating: 6.5 | Pokemon Battle Revolution WII
By vivvav | Review Date:
Pokémon Battle Revolution is NOT good as a videogame itself. As an extension to Diamond and Pearl, it's tons of fun, but it shouldn't be charged the full price for a game.
The Good:
Trainer Design: After years of begging, Pokémon Trainers finally get what we wanted: To customize our looks. You start out with some default crap, but as the "game" progresses, you get some good crap. While it still leaves a bit to be desired, the game itself is solid.
Rendition of the Pokémon: Pokémon Battle Revolution has great visuals for a Pokémon game. The fact that the Pokémon are finally shown hitting each other (With a Few Exceptions) is a real improvement, though they could be a little less lazy in creating mmore motions for the Pokémon. Which now brings me to the bad:
The Bad:
Lack of Story: Pokémon Colluseum and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness had a new story line which gave the Pokémon games a whole new feel. Pokémon Battle Revolution has no such storyline, and as such, it is unfair of Nintendo and Game Stores to charge you $50.00. It should only be about 20, because it's an extension.
Overall, I give Pokémon Battle Revolution 6.5/10. If you don't mind paying fifty bucks for expanding your Diamon and Pearl experience.

    DON'T GET THIS GAME

    First this is $50, it should be $20. The voice announcer is just annoying. It really has no point to the game besides 3-D battling. If you don't have diamond or pearl this game has no point to it. I would made this game ... Read Full Review
