They mastered the evil plan, burned it on a DVD and called it Pokémon Battle Revolution.
It has a simple battle engine which has been used for years in the N64 and GCN. OK, what were you expecting? This is Pokémon, battles must keep this way.
Well, I battled a guy whose Pidgey could use Aeroblast! What do you say about this? That's life, homie. It's cheating or being cheated. And it'll keep that way until Nintendo find a way to avoid "genetically modified" pokémons for being used OR cheating softwares developers give up on it. I mean, you won't live to see this happening.
But... But... Pokémons are all weird on this game! Bingo! You've finally reached the main point!
Amazing battle arenas, nice menu animations and beautifully designed characters, but pokémons should stay inside their pokéballs. The great look of the arenas and the pokémon trainers contrast with horribly designed pokémons.
Firstly, some pokémons look OK, like Haunter, Lucario and a couple others. On the other hand, pokémons like Suicune, Sceptile and Venusaur look stupid. Look at Venusaur and Sceptile's leaves! They're thin like paper and they definitely don't look like leaves. It seems like amateurs have designed them.
Take it easy man, how do you expect them to make beautiful arenas, characters and pokémons? There are almost 500! And they... Shut up, fool! They should have made better pokémons! The pretty arenas just make pokémons to look even worse. If the game were called ARENA Battle Revolution, it would surely be the best game ever! But is its name Arena Battle Revolution? No! It's POKÉMON Battle Revolution! The focus of the game are the God damn pokémons! Now shut the hell up and let me keep the review!
Where did I stop? Oh, in the ugliest pokémons ever.
OK, secondly, they have few movements. Each pokémon has only one movement for ATK moves, one for SP.ATK moves and one for status moves. Usually, one of them is used as stand-by movement. They keep moving like that while you choose what you're going to do next (if "Incinerate the game disc inside the Wii and then use the ashes to clean internal Wii parts" were an available option, that's what the pokéball cursor would point on my TV).
Thirdly, the attacks and moves animations are horrible. I just can't describe them.
Actually, I don't remember any other bad points of the game, 'cause I haven't played it for months. But I don't remember of any good point as well.
Anyway, I assure you that the good points cannot hide the bad ones. Nintendo couldn't have chosen a worse game to be the first one with the WFC multi player game mode.
Take note of this: Pokémon's place is on small cartridges for the DS and the next Nintendo's portable console.
