Not a revolution, but still sparks something.

This game can easily be recieved as a mediocre or worse game. I can see why, as there are only battling in the game. Nothing else. But the addition of Wi-Fi with and without friend codes makes the game a tad bit better. The graphics are a bit better, as shading and slight movement parts such as hair are added. The animations had only slightly improved, as the animations are same;punching is far away from the enemy, or biting is a jaw's outline going across the screen. However,they have a few more animations, such as birds actually flying instead of standing in mid-air during the charge of the move Fly. Now for general concepts like the story. There is no story. It is you who travels to a place called Poketopia(weird,I know.) where there are battles from trainers everywhere. You can tell the "from trainers everywhere" part came from the addition of Wi-Fi. Well, you are given rental passes you can use in battles if you don't have your own pokemon. This is disappointing, as in Pokemon Stadium for N64, you can choose which rental pokemon you want. If you have pokemon however, you transfer all the pokemon you have in Pokemon Diamond and Pearl. All of them. If you have 8 boxes in storage filled with pokemon,they're all added. That is nice,so you don't constantly turn on your DS to transfer again and again. The sound...ugh. The announcer...I had to pause my game everytime someone passed by while I was playing to avoid embarrassment. The announcer is so embarrassing. I'm just happy they added an option where you can remove the annoying voice. The soundtrack is alright, but doesn't match the epicness of the battle music in portable pokemon games. When it comes down to the actual fun factor, you can say its passable. Quite fun,not mediocre,but can be ignored. Nintendo could have tried harder to match Pokemon Battle Revolution's fun factor with Pokemon Stadium's.
