At this point in time, your favorite Pokémon had never looked as good as they do here. One thing that this game does better than the two on the Game Cube did is the visuals. 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. Sadly, this is the same case for the local multiplayer too. Play With A FriendĪt the time Pokémon Battle Revolution was the first game to use Nintendo Online and it was very barebones. 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. Like the previous console games, you take your Pokémon from your handheld game and put them into this game. Pokémon Battle Revolution is designed to go hand in hand with Pokémon Diamond and Pearl for the Nintendo DS. I like the idea of this as it does add some variety to the game. 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. There are 11 different coliseums for Pokémon to battle here and each one has something different about it. The idea of the game is that it takes place in a battle theme park called Poketopia.
