Um, I thought it was worth every penny. :)
And some people think its worth 20$, lol nah id say 34.95
Otherwise great game. And yes worth the moneez.

Mouse The Great May 28th, 2008 8:37 PM

Actually, it really depends. By no standard is it worth $50. Maybe $30-35. However, if you dont have diamond or pearl as well as wi-fi you are wasting your money completely.

Lil MuDkiP849 May 28th, 2008 8:38 PM

i'd say yes because items that are extremely hard to get in D/P are easier to get in PBR and plus the wifi isnt as bad as everyone says i mean you get your opponents *trainer card* and sort of see diff. tactics from around the world. I havent come across too many uber users and either way it's still fun idk why people say it isn't =/

PiSToLZ May 31st, 2008 5:54 PM

Its definitly not worth it. Its ok if you have pearl but if you dont...

Saltare. June 3rd, 2008 11:56 AM

in my opinion, i like the game a lot. I mean you can battle someone in Toyko, Japan with the Wi-Fi and you can copy your pokemon from diamond/pearl into the game, so i think it's pretty neat

Luck June 3rd, 2008 4:13 PM

Oh no, just no.
It was a terrible game, with only good graphics and features.
It is definitely the worst game behind the one where you watch t.v all day.
It has no story at all.
But if you are, like some people, easily amused by good graphics, then be my guest.
but if you focus more on the storyline, don't even consider it.
so get it only if you like
  • graphics
  • connecting up to the wii with a ds
  • prizes(like surfing pikachu or mystery gift)

And thats the only good things about it.
i personally sold my battle revolution because there was no story behind it.

I got it for Christmas last year and the only really good things about it were getting Magmortar/Electivire as well as various items, and seeing your Pearl/Diamond Pokemon on your TV screen.

it gets boring after a while. But it has wifi to kick everyones butt on so Yea it is worth the cash

Personally, i think it's totally worth the money. You can battle people around the world, and get free pokemon! PLUS you can do a DS battle with 1 or more friends. But the characters look strange from Diamond/Pearl

yeah, i got pbr for christmas last year, and my mom forgot to buy Diamond, so we went to gamestop the next day and got the game for half the price cuz we like live there. And we can go anytime to play the games.

Shyok June 14th, 2008 11:39 AM

i got it, its fun only if you have a diamond/pearl game and copy it to your pbr game, and you dont need FCs to battle people. Also tournaments are fun too! i totally think everyone should buy it, you can customize your character with different gear, and customize your trainer card, with the pokemon you want, the animations great but you get way more out of it with a pokemon diamond/pearl game.

yeah, but if wanna battle a specific person, you need their friend code on the Wii in order to battle them. Yeah, my bro loves it and he's 14. He has all psychics in his party,

Gallade, Kirlia, Mespirit, Uxie, Alelf, and Gardevoir,

Me, I just mix it up, but right now its two legendaries, 3 hoenn starters, and 1 sinnoh starter

I think its worth the money.
It's a great game.
10/10.

Its a waste of money unless you have diamond and pearl. Its nice though if you have friends that have PBR or D/P because battling on your tv is a blast. Depending on how your raise your pokemon, you can buy some excellant mystery gift items for your D/P game, as well as a surfing pikachu, a Magmortar, and an Electivire that you can have and send to your friends. The wifi Battleing is a blast because you can battle random people. The only downside of this game is how in some of the Colleseums they give you dumb challenges where you may end up using crap pokemon or screwed over by your own pokemon. I definatly recommend it though.

super-7 June 18th, 2008 5:56 PM

if you like seeing pokemon in 3-d the game is for you but its very repetative and boring.. the online
is decent but there are lots of noobs. The only reason i got it was for the special pokemon and because
it was the first wifi game for the wii

ΜσdαΜϑrdεrεr June 19th, 2008 4:02 PM

I was so torn between should pay or not. But, I'm glad I didn't buy it. Thanks for sharing your opinion, guys. =]

Shem June 19th, 2008 5:00 PM

its one of those games that you get bored with but come back to it in a few months and have just as much fun your first time. My disc doesnt work and my wii is on its way back from California (it was getting repaired) and the only game i miss is PBR

SwampertTrainer June 20th, 2008 12:31 PM

I love the game, although it is unfortunate how it's JUST battling. You get some really good graphics on it though. I mainly play it to see new moves I've learned get "3D-ized"

there are a lot of TMs and a lot of items you only get one of in the games like dawn stone etc.

yeah. if only there were mini-games at least.
i bought it the month it came out, and took it to a place near my house that has a bunch of gaming consoles setup and we'd sit and play DS-battles for hours at a time.
everyone asked me if they should buy it and i said no lol.


it's not a TERRIBLE game. it just doesn't have a lot of content. what it does do, however, it does fairly well. so if you can find it relatively cheap, i'd suggest getting it.

also the masters battle gyms at the end of the game are incredibly challenging and fun.

Lil MuDkiP849 June 23rd, 2008 6:44 AM

i hate the masters battle because it's all double battle tactics and more then likely you'll be using single battle ones.

Horyo June 25th, 2008 9:11 AM

My friend says Stadium was more dynamic.

Although the graphics are really pretty...

Circuit June 25th, 2008 11:29 AM

Idk why people don't like it. Half of D/P is battling so why not like all battling? Although, I can see why people don't like battling with only doubles or only singles on that thing, but you should be able to swap after you've done it once.

WarHawk June 27th, 2008 3:21 AM

It's good if you like Pokemon that much,I told my friend to give me the Mystery Gifts.

I disagree with this. The grahics in this gameare terrible. I mean, come on. Faces looks like they've been drawn on, andit looks similar to the N64. Chalky frames, blocky graphics.

The reason that I hate it, and can't see why anyone wouldl ike it, is because it is ONLY BATTLING. Why is that so bad, if that isall pokemon is? I'll tell you. YOU GET THE EXACT SAME THING IN DIAMOND & PEARL. Aside from the "graphics" everything that you can do in Battle Revolution, you can do in D/P. There is no real replay value, and nothing to reallyjustify a $50 price tag.

Seriously, what is it about? What can you do there that you cannot do on D/P? 3D battles? Please. If that's the case, you are paying such a steep price, just to see your pokes in chessy graphics. And THAT is why minigames are so important. F0r $50, I want more. MOAR!

Oh, and "exclusive pokes"? You mean that is worth $50? The problem is, too many pokefans will buy anything with a Pikachu on the cover. This game is an outrage, simply because it seems they didn't even try. They literally put some crap together, took out the destructable enviorments (meaning they went back) and slapped a heafty price on it.

SmashGood July 5th, 2008 1:48 AM

The look and feel of it are great, but do not expect it to be like Stadium or XD.

Saruboy July 12th, 2008 9:44 PM

It ain't bad...
 
I thought it wasn't too bad, some of the late in-game challenges can be tough. But, yeah, I thought older games were better. It has a cool feature where you can set all the levels to 50, so if your guys are at 70 and your friends are at 9, this balances it out.The in game avatar feature was kinda gay, though.

All in all, if you're big into pokemon, though, I would recommend it.
