Pokémon Battle Revolution features eleven different colosseums in a new area called [[Pokétopia]]. Other features include stadiums that have their own special effects, such as randomizing the order of one's Pokémon.


Players can fully customize their {{pkmn|Trainer}} to use on Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Players can customize their [[Model|characters]] with hats, shirts, glasses, and other things. Additionally, for the U.S. release, Nintendo had added the option to customize a Trainer’s skin pigmentation. A key difference from this game compared to the Stadium titles is that minigames are absent from this game. A Trainer can choose 6 Pokémon and get a Rental Pass; however, if [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl]], {{v2|Platinum}}, [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold or SoulSilver]] is connected, a player can upload their trained Pokémon and get a [[Custom Pass]].

Key differences from other Pokémon console games shown are that the Pokémon can now actually strike at the opponent physically while both Pokémon are rendered on the screen, instead of seeing one {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} attacking and then cutting away to the second getting hit by the attack as in previous titles. Moves that do not contact, however, follow the same style as the older games to keep the pace of gameplay up. When an attack that strikes both opposing Pokémon is performed, it may hit both of them on screen simultaneously, instead of showing it as the attack striking one Pokémon first then the second Pokémon next. The game also features a 100 Trainer battle when it is completed for the first time.

Moves that do not contact, however, follow the same style as the older games to keep the pace of gameplay up. When an attack that strikes more than one Pokémon is performed, the screen will split to show two of them being hit simultaneously, instead of showing it as the attack striking one Pokémon first then the second Pokémon next. The game also features a 100-Trainer battle when it is completed for the first time.


Like the two Stadium Games, Pokémon Battle Revolution features an announcer that provides play-by-play commentary.

==Colosseums==
==Colosseums==
The game features eleven different colosseums, each with special changes to normal play or prerequisites and either a [[Colosseum Leader]] or [[Colosseum Master]]. The six Colosseum Leaders wear Pokémon costumes; for example, Marina of the Waterfall Colosseum wears a Kyogre costume. Also, the Crystal Colosseum can hold up to 16 players, the battles are done in a 16 person tournament mode. After beating the Pokétopia Championship, the player is given a {{p|Pikachu}} with {{m|Volt Tackle}}, {{m|Surf}}, and a held [[Light Ball]] (such a Pikachu is impossible for a player to make by normal means). Each level rule (Level 30 Open and Level 50 All) for a Colosseum has a specific ranking, which goes up as the player wins. As the rank increases, the Trainers become stronger and the Poké Coupon rewards become greater. Around Rank 7, the Leaders, and even Trainers, will begin to use [[legendary Pokémon]].

====Codes====
====Electivire (Shocking Secret Gift)====
The player can also unlock an {{P|Electivire}} and a {{p|Magmortar}} if he or she enters a specific code at the “Self-Introduction” option in the Profile menu.
{{p|Electivire}} and the Gold Pass can be unlocked with the following codes by entering a specific code at the “Self-Introduction” option in the Profile menu. The code is case-sensitive, and is only checked on exiting the Profile menu; if the code matches the changed introduction is not saved and the previously entered value will remain (other fields in the profile are changed normally).  This does not happen if the code has already been used; the introduction is changed to it directly in that case.

==Online functionality==
Battle Revolution is the first Pokémon game on any home console to go online. It uses its own 12-digit friend code, separate from the Wii’s code. This has received widespread controversy, because the use of a Wii Number was believed to eliminate the need to have a friend code for each online game, as with DS Wi-Fi games; however, this is not the case, as subsequent releases have proven.


Once logged on, one has the option of battling random Wi-Fi matches, or with friends. When battling random Wi-Fi, one can only play using the level 50 all rule set, but can select [[Double Battle|Double]] or Single Battles (Double being the default). After selecting the preferred Colosseum and Trainer Card, the game will begin searching for an opponent and the battle will begin when one is found. During the battle, all Pokémon nicknames are removed and all Trainer quotes are set to their defaults. After the battle, one can exchange Friend Passes, but only if both parties are in agreement.

|ms1=467
One can also battle friends, in which case, one can create a battle and modify all aspects of the rules (although custom rules cannot be created and altered in the Wi-Fi mode itself, they can be changed in other modes before logging on) and Colosseum. From the friend lobby, players can see the current status of anyone on their friend list and join a battle they are hosting.

==Legendary Pokémon banning controversy==
==Legendary Pokémon banning controversy==
Due to the lack of clauses in online random multiplayer, Trainers with [[legendary Pokémon]] ran rampant on the system, attracting a fair amount of controversy as to why [[Nintendo]] was not using official Nintendo tournament rules, which ban legendary Pokémon, on their service. However, on July 3, 2007, legendary Pokémon (referred to as "exotic" Pokémon by the game) became banned from the system. Although it was originally speculated to be a [[glitch]], a [[Global Terminal#Temporary legendary Pokémon ban|similar incident]] occurred on the same date regarding {{game3|Diamond and Pearl|two other games|s}}. The banning of these Pokémon has received a large amount of controversy from the community. A Nintendo representative later [http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=934033&topic=36507640 stated] that the ban was a technical difficulty. The similar GTS problem was not addressed.

[[File:Blizzard PBR.png|thumb|left|Two Pokémon are hit by {{m|Blizzard}} at the same time]]
The game was first announced by Nintendo president Satoru Iwata at a Nintendo marketing event in Japan on June 7, 2006. At the event, Iwata described Wii-to-DS connectivity using the game as an example, stating that gamers with either Pokémon Diamond or Pearl can play battles using their Diamond or Pearl Pokémon to Pokémon Battle Revolution using their DS as a controller.

The first shown video of Pokémon Battle Revolution showcased a battle between Red and Leaf on what would become the Neon Colosseum. Interestingly, in said movie, a Groudon uses Hyper Beam on a Deoxys, not only defeating it, but leaving a large gash in the floor of the Colosseum, and a hole in the wall. It is unknown if these environment damages would have remained over the course of the battle, but no such thing is possible in the final game. The camera also appeared to be more dynamic than it is in the final game: when selecting its moves, the camera first focuses on the first Pokémon, then quickly pans over to the second Pokémon to select its moves, then pans over to the Trainer who is shown making an attack command, and the attacks begin. The camera simply cuts between these shots in the final game. The last difference is the HP meter that is shown on screen when damage is done. In the video, the numerical value of the HP is shown on the HP meter, however that does not happen in any game mode in the final version.

The DS linkup feature was demoed 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 normally used in conjunction with the Wii Remote. The battle menu is displayed on the DS touchscreen instead, and is navigated with the stylus. Up to eight players can play in a 1 on 1 tournament, much like the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}'s Battle Dome in {{game|Emerald}}.

==Compatibility==
==Connectivity==
Battle Revolution is compatible with all handheld [[Generation IV]] games. However, {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, and {{p|Rotom}}'s form changes introduced in Platinum will revert to their original form upon being copied over to the game, and the [[Spiky-eared Pichu]] will display as a normal Pichu. In addition, Rotom's stats will lower to those of Rotom's normal form, and it will temporarily forget its special move.
===Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection===
Pokémon Battle Revolution could battle with other copies of Pokémon Battle Revolution via [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]]. Online functionality for Pokémon Battle Revolution was shut down on May 20, 2014 with the discontinuation of the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service.
 
When battling online, players can either battle in random matchups or with friends.
 
When battling in random matchups, only the level 50 all rule set is available, as either [[Double Battle|Double]] or Single Battles (Double being the default). After selecting the preferred Colosseum and Trainer Card, the game matches the player with another random player. During the battle, all Pokémon nicknames are removed and all Trainer quotes are set to their defaults. After the battle, the players can exchange [[Friend Pass]]es, but only if both players agreed to.
 
Pokémon Battle Revolution also allows players to battle directly with their friends. Friends are registered within the game by using a 12-digit [[Friend Code]], separate from the Wii's friend system. In a friend battle, players can either use the Colosseum ruleset, or any custom set of rules they have already created within the game. From the friend lobby, players can see the current status of anyone on their friend list and join a battle if that friend is hosting one.
 
===Copy Pokémon===
Pokémon Battle Revolution can copy Pokémon from {{game5|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. Once Pokémon are copied from a DS Pokémon game to Pokémon Battle Revolution, only that same DS Pokémon game can connect to Pokémon Battle Revolution again in the future.
 
Due to the game being released before {{game|Platinum}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, alternate forms that were introduced in Pokémon Platinum or Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver are not present in the game. If Origin Forme {{p|Giratina}}, Sky Forme {{p|Shaymin}} or any of {{p|Rotom}}'s alternate forms (all of which were introduced in Pokémon Platinum) would be copied to Pokémon Battle Revolution, they are copied in their base form instead; in the case of Rotom, it will forget its alternate form's special move, and if it is its only remaining move, it will be replaced by [[Thunder Shock (move)|ThunderShock]]. If Origin Forme Giratina would be copied, it will no longer hold its Griseous Orb. If Spiky-eared Pichu would be copied, it is copied as a regular {{p|Pichu}} instead. Outside of those changes, these Pokémon can then be used like any other Pokémon in the game.


==Reception==
==Reception==
Pokémon Battle Revolution received mostly negative to lukewarm reviews, which eventually lead to the end of the game's production. {{wp|IGN}} has given this game a 5.0 out of 10 for many reasons. First, the website claimed, the game lacks many features demonstrated in previous games such as {{OBP|Pokémon Stadium|English}} and [[Pokémon Colosseum]], notably the {{wp|Role-playing game|RPG}} mode. The multiplayer and online battles were also criticized for lacking features such as tournament play. {{wp|GameSpot}} gave the game a 5.5 out of 10, their reasons for this were the repetitive gameplay and the barebones online play. It also added that if the player didn’t have Pokémon Diamond or Pearl for the DS, there wasn’t as much to do. {{wp|Nintendo Power}} gave this game a 6.5 out of 10.

Pokémon Battle Revolution (Japanese: ポケモンバトルレボリューション Pokémon Battle Revolution) is the first Pokémon game for the Wii. It supports connectivity with the Nintendo DS, allowing Trainers to battle using their Pokémon from the Generation IV main series games while using their Nintendo DS as a controller. It was released in Japan on December 14, 2006, two weeks after the Wii launch, and in the United States on June 25, 2007.

Gameplay

Two Pokémon hit by Discharge at the same time
Revolution Title Screen
Pokétopia

Pokémon Battle Revolution features eleven different colosseums in a new area called Pokétopia. Other features include stadiums that have their own special effects, such as randomizing the order of one's Pokémon.

Players can fully customize their Trainer to use on Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Players can customize their characters with hats, shirts, glasses, and other things. Additionally, for the U.S. release, Nintendo had added the option to customize a Trainer's skin pigmentation. A key difference from this game compared to the Stadium titles is that minigames are absent from this game. A Trainer can choose 6 Pokémon and get a Rental Pass; however, if Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, or SoulSilver is connected, a player can upload their trained Pokémon and get a Custom Pass.

Key differences from other Pokémon console games shown are that the Pokémon can now actually strike at the opponent physically while both Pokémon are rendered on the screen, instead of seeing one Pokémon attacking and then cutting away to the second getting hit by the attack as in previous titles. Moves that do not contact, however, follow the same style as the older games to keep the pace of gameplay up. When an attack that strikes more than one Pokémon is performed, the screen will split to show two of them being hit simultaneously, instead of showing it as the attack striking one Pokémon first then the second Pokémon next. The game also features a 100-Trainer battle when it is completed for the first time.

Like the two Stadium games, Pokémon Battle Revolution features an announcer that provides play-by-play commentary.

Colosseums

Main article: Colosseum (Pokétopia)

The game features eleven different colosseums, one exclusive to multiplayer battles and the other ten each with special changes to normal play or prerequisites and either a Colosseum Leader or Colosseum Master. The six Colosseum Leaders wear Pokémon costumes; for example, Marina of the Waterfall Colosseum wears a Kyogre costume. Also, the Crystal Colosseum can hold up to 16 players, the battles are done in a 16-person tournament mode. After beating the Pokétopia Championship, the player is given a Pikachu with Volt Tackle, Surf, and a Light Ball (Pikachu cannot learn Surf naturally. Each level rule (Level 30 Open and Level 50 All) for a Colosseum has a specific ranking, which goes up as the player wins. As the rank increases, the Trainers become stronger and the Poké Coupon rewards become greater. Around Rank 7, the Leaders and Trainers will begin to use Legendary Pokémon.

Shop

Using the Poké Coupons earned in Battle mode, the player can shop for Gear and Mystery Gifts.

Gear

Gear consists of hats, pants, shirts, bags, badges, glasses, hair colors, eye colors, face paint, shoes, and gloves which can be used to alter the outfit and appearance of the Trainer on the player's Custom Pass.

Mystery Gift

Poké Coupons can also be used to purchase items which can be sent to the Generation IV DS games via Mystery Gift. Some items are not available until certain conditions have been met. These items can be sent every time you purchase them, but the same save file can only receive each of them once.

Rules

The rules for battle could be modified in various ways:

  • Level: The levels of the Pokémon allowed could be set to Anything Goes (No restriction), Level 50 All (levels were set to 50) or a custom range and level total (the maximum combined level allowed of the 6 Pokémon)
  • Entry Pokémon: How many Pokémon were used. Could be set from 1-6, or have no restriction, in which case players could enter as many or as few Pokémon as they wanted.
  • Time limit for one battle: No limit, or a range of 1-99 Minutes. Time continued counting down even during attack animations. When time ran out, the Trainer with the most Pokémon remaining was the winner.
  • Time limit for move selection: No limit, or a range of 20-99 Seconds. If a player ran out of time for move selection, the computer selected their moves for them.

The following options were either yes/allow or no/disallow selections.

  • Allow same Pokémon on a team?
  • Allow Pokémon with identical hold items?
  • Allow two or more Pokémon to be put to sleep on the same team?
  • Allow two or more Pokémon to be frozen on the same team?
  • If all Pokémon faint due to Explosion or Selfdestruct, user loses? (If turned off, such a situation resulted in a draw rather than a victory for either side)
  • Should Perish Song and Destiny Bond fail if used by a team's final Pokémon?
  • Fixed-damage moves like Dragon Rage and SonicBoom always fail?

Legendary Pokémon banning controversy

Due to the lack of clauses in online random multiplayer, Trainers with Legendary Pokémon ran rampant on the system, attracting controversy as to why Pokémon Battle Revolution was not using official Pokémon video game tournament rules—which bans Game mascot Legendary Pokémon (except Suicune) and Mewtwo. However, on July 3, 2007, Legendary Pokémon (referred to as "exotic" Pokémon by the game) became banned from the system. Although it was originally speculated to be a glitch, a similar incident occurred on the same date in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. The banning of these Pokémon resulted in significant backlash from the community. A Nintendo representative later stated that the ban was a technical difficulty. The similar GTS problem was not addressed.

The ban was lifted sometime later, as Legendary Pokémon were then able to be used until the discontinuation of Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.

Something similar happened to the American Alamos Darkrai given out at Toys "R" Us events. While the Japanese Movie Darkrai, the Darkrai obtained from Newmoon Island by hacking, and the Darkrai from Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia worked fine, Alamos Darkrai was not allowed in online random multiplayer. This was fixed later on, and Alamos Darkrai were freely usable until the discontinuation of Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.

Development and history

The game was first announced by Nintendo president Satoru Iwata at a Nintendo marketing event in Japan on June 7, 2006. At the event, Iwata described Wii-to-DS connectivity using the game as an example, stating that gamers with either Pokémon Diamond or Pearl can play battles using their Diamond or Pearl Pokémon to Pokémon Battle Revolution using their DS as a controller.

The first shown video of Pokémon Battle Revolution showcased a battle between Red and Leaf on what would become the Neon Colosseum. Interestingly, in said movie, a Groudon uses Hyper Beam on a Deoxys, not only defeating it, but leaving a large gash in the floor of the Colosseum, and a hole in the wall. It is unknown if these environment damages would have remained over the course of the battle, but no such thing is possible in the final game. The camera also appeared to be more dynamic than it is in the final game: when selecting its moves, the camera first focuses on the first Pokémon, then quickly pans over to the second Pokémon to select its moves, then pans over to the Trainer who is shown making an attack command, and the attacks begin. The camera simply cuts between these shots in the final game. The last difference is the HP meter that is shown on screen when damage is done. In the video, the numerical value of the HP is shown on the HP meter, however that does not happen in any game mode in the final version.

The DS linkup feature was demoed 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 normally used in conjunction with the Wii Remote. The battle menu is displayed on the DS touchscreen instead, and is navigated with the stylus. Up to eight players can play in a 1-on-1 tournament, much like the Battle Frontier's Battle Dome in Pokémon Emerald.

Connectivity

Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection

Pokémon Battle Revolution could battle with other copies of Pokémon Battle Revolution via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Online functionality for Pokémon Battle Revolution was shut down on May 20, 2014 with the discontinuation of the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service.

When battling online, players can either battle in random matchups or with friends.

When battling in random matchups, only the level 50 all rule set is available, as either Double or Single Battles (Double being the default). After selecting the preferred Colosseum and Trainer Card, the game matches the player with another random player. During the battle, all Pokémon nicknames are removed and all Trainer quotes are set to their defaults. After the battle, the players can exchange Friend Passes, but only if both players agreed to.

Pokémon Battle Revolution also allows players to battle directly with their friends. Friends are registered within the game by using a 12-digit Friend Code, separate from the Wii's friend system. In a friend battle, players can either use the Colosseum ruleset, or any custom set of rules they have already created within the game. From the friend lobby, players can see the current status of anyone on their friend list and join a battle if that friend is hosting one.

Copy Pokémon

Pokémon Battle Revolution can copy Pokémon from Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, and SoulSilver. Once Pokémon are copied from a DS Pokémon game to Pokémon Battle Revolution, only that same DS Pokémon game can connect to Pokémon Battle Revolution again in the future.

Due to the game being released before Pokémon Platinum and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, alternate forms that were introduced in Pokémon Platinum or Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver are not present in the game. If Origin Forme Giratina, Sky Forme Shaymin or any of Rotom's alternate forms (all of which were introduced in Pokémon Platinum) would be copied to Pokémon Battle Revolution, they are copied in their base form instead; in the case of Rotom, it will forget its alternate form's special move, and if it is its only remaining move, it will be replaced by ThunderShock. If Origin Forme Giratina would be copied, it will no longer hold its Griseous Orb. If Spiky-eared Pichu would be copied, it is copied as a regular Pichu instead. Outside of those changes, these Pokémon can then be used like any other Pokémon in the game.

Reception

Pokémon Battle Revolution received mostly negative to lukewarm reviews, which eventually lead to the end of the game's production. IGN has given this game a 5.0 out of 10 for many reasons. First, the website claimed, the game lacks many features demonstrated in previous games such as Pokémon Stadium and Pokémon Colosseum, notably the RPG mode. The multiplayer and online battles were also criticized for lacking features such as tournament play. GameSpot gave the game a 5.5 out of 10, their reasons being the repetitive gameplay and the barebones online play. It also added that if the player didn't have Pokémon Diamond or Pearl for the DS, there wasn't as much to do. Nintendo Power gave this game a 6.5 out of 10.

Currently the game has an average of 53% on both Game Rankings and Metacritic. [6][7]

As of October 27th 2008, the game has sold 1.32 million copies worldwide.[8]

In recent years, retrospectives have claimed that Pokémon Battle Revolution was underrated at release, and praised the game for its high animation quality with expressive Pokémon .[9][10]
