Product Description
Pokémon Battle Revolution features new action and new challenges to face, in an all-new Pokemon world. Welcome to the island of Poketopia! Here, each stadium has its own little quirks, and you'll have to use your strategy skills to make sure you can win the duels. Helping you out along the way is an all-new set of Pokemon you can earn through new quests. It's also the first Wii game to cross over with the Nintendo DS. Connect the Wii to a DS using wireless connections & use the Pokemon you've raised in Diamond and Pearl and Battle 'til you drop!

 My 8-year-old is a Pokemon fanatic January 5, 2009
Like I said, my daughter loves this game. My husband and I were not so impressed. We expected it to be more of a game involved, but it is really just battle after battle. You can't catch any new Pokemon and if we had a Nintendo DS, I think this would be a great tie-in. Since we don't, the gameplay definitely leaves a lot to be desired.
 Don't bother if you don't have a DS December 27, 2008
We got this game for our son, without knowing too much about Pokemon. I enjoyed playing the game, but it is extremely limited if you do not have a DS or are not interested in playing online. EXTREMELY limited, as in there is no way to do much other than battle the same pokemon over and over. The rewards gained for winning cannot even be used.

Wow, what an utter dud "Pokemon Battle Revolution" is. I cannot stress enough the embarrassment that Nintendo SHOULD feel at the completely lackluster presentation, or the monotonous single player mode. And while it is fun to play online, I can already do that in the Diamond that I own. But anyway, let's begin
The Good:
1) Graphics - it IS fun to see all 493 Pokemon illustrated in this game (or at least 490, although I think Darkrai, Shaymin and Arceus are there as well). The 3-D graphics are cute (though hardly spectacular), although they are so similar to the designs in "Pokemon:XD" to warrant exceptional praise. I would have at least hoped that the characters would be more sharp than their GC predecessors. Nonetheless, the Pokemon are colorful.
The Bad:
1) Gameplay - Boring. Monotonous. Ultimately pointless. The one-player game is one of the most painful gameplay experiences I've endured, and I've played "Alundra 2". The fact is, the developers spent about five minutes actually thinking of this game.
2) Voices - Annoying. The announcer says the exact same thing after each attack. Come on, now.
3) In-game extras - OK, I'm happy that I can get a Magmortar and an Electavire (but only after entering a special code - you don't even unlock them through the game), and they even have the correct natures. And yeah, a Pikachu that knows surf is kind of nice (hearkening back to the days of "Pokemon Stadium"), but let's get real. "Pokemon Stadium 2" let me play fun little minigames with my friends, and let me play the DS on the TV. Would that REALLY have been that hard to introduce here? The fact is, this games' extras blow chunks. Seriously. You can beat all of the trainers, and guess what? You get to fight them again! Hooray.
4) Rental pokemon - Are you kidding? In "Stadium," I could rent pretty much ANYONE (including Mew), and similarly for 'Stadium 2". Here? I get one of the WORST starter sets imaginable, and I actually have to win with these losers to get other cards unlocked. The fact is, this game is nigh unplayable without your own copy of "Diamond" or "Pearl". Even then, it stinks, but don't even think of believing that this game can even REMOTELY stand alone.
It should be clear. This game is terrible.
I don't get the point of this game June 4, 2008

I don't know what to do! I go into battles and win them, and so on? What do I win? I get money and can buy things for my trainer? And so what? I don't care if the trainer has a hat...
PROS:
-graphics are beautiful
CONS:
-hey we have a wii mote to use! why don't they use it?
-no story
-too easy unless you play it online, but again I don't feel rewarded when I win a game;
