A shallowly presented game with shallow gameplay. Only enjoyable if you own the DS games
Pokémon Battle Revolution, is the latest incarnation of that old Stadium game formula, and frankly, is a formula Nintendo and Game Freak have to go back and re-think.
The presentation of the game is shabby, and frankly looks like a pretty N64 game, which, as did the Gamecube "Stadium" games.
As for the game, it's just sloppy. The difficulty of the game is poor, and not well thought out. Nintendo did try to mix things up by adding different themed battle into the mix (having you and your opponent pick your Pokémon by chance using both players teams and etc) but instead of adding a new layer to gameplay, just adds frustration.
There isn't much good things one can say about this game, except some of the battle animations look pretty. Even though this game was made for those who own the DS Pokémon games, it doesn't really make a difference, only you can use your own Pokémon instead of game rentals.
Even though I did enjoy playing this game, sadly 90% of that enjoyment came from battling with a friend through the DS Battle Mode, where we continuously fought using 6 on 6 teams from our own DS'.
If your a huge mega fan of the DS games, than get it, and prepare to be annoyed. If you can look past the horrible and sloppy presentation, you might actually find some slither of joy in the battling.
