I bought the game for my grandson and he seemed to have great fun with it.

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.

It takes a pokemon fan to appreciate this game

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."

I purchased this game for my grandson who is 8 years old and he said this is the best gift I could have ever gotten him. I watched him play this game on his nintendo wii and it was totally well worth the buy. It is very challenging for him and it sure makes him get to know what each Pokemon characters are like. If they are weak or if they are strong, he figures it out. I LOVE IT!!!!

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.)

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.

No use of Wii motion controls in battle

My boys bought this thinking they could load their DS Pokemon into the Wii and then have a dynamic battle using the Wii controlers. That is not the case; the battles are the same turn-based move selection as the DS Pokeman games. We added the Wii to our collection of gaming platforms for the motion control, so this purchase was a big let down.

The Best and the Worst of Stadium

This game, without a doubt, represents both the best and the worst of stadium. After seven years of experience with stadium games, they finally have managed to get the battling system correct for the most part. Instead of the animations taking massive amounts of time like in every previous stadium game, they are now very fast. Faster than even battling on the DS! Online play is basically the same as the DS with the ability to add a few rules (sleep clause, anyone?) and the ability to have extremely limited random battles.

Where's the worst, then? Some extreme idiocy involving both online and offline play. For one thing, you can automatically level your pokemon to level 50, but not level 100. I understand that in Japan they have some sort of fetish for playing at level 50, but the rest of the world plays at level 100 and the fact that you can only automatically go to level 50 is really inexcusable. In addition, the random battles are absolutely horrible. There's no way to set any clauses, and they can ONLY be level 50 stadium mode (that's 4v4) doubles. There is no way to deviate from this. It's like the random battles were thrown in merely as an afterthought.

This game, when I first saw it, had the potential to be excellent -- it recognized many of the mistakes of past stadium games and corrected them. But thanks to some incredibly stupid and easy-to-fix mistakes, the game is really just...not worth it.
