No. Honestly, I view PBR as an extension for Diamond/Pearl. Especially with the mystery gift Pokemon and items. Without a DS and Diamond/Pearl, it's really a pointless game.

You forgot wifi, but I've heard a lot of people who battle on it on wifi are nubs. =\ Damn, I wish I had kept my receipt.
 
No it doesn't its good as it is. Battle mode is good being able to put your pokemon from D & P is good and being able to customize your caracter is good. Ithink it don't need a RPG mode good enough as it is.
 
You're right. Game Freak could've made a Pokemon Wii RPG if they wanted, but at this current time... It would've not been so good for the sales of D/P. However, since PBR would need you to use D/P for a fully custom team, and would has mystery gift, it's a way to make people buy D/P if they only have PBR, or get PBR if they have D/P.

If it had been a TRUE Pokemon RPG, then it would've been great. Not the Pokemon Colosseum/XD crap they tried to pull off. The day Nintendo manages to make a true 3D Pokemon RPG for a home console will be the day I wet myself upon hearing it.

HEY THAT IS TOTALLY WHAT THEY SHOULD DO I WOULD YET MYSELF TO HAHAHA
 
Definately, i find the only way to make the game less repetitive is to play with different teams each battle
 
I think that either one: It needed to be more like the Stadium games, with mini games that would have been awesome with the wii's features. Or an RPG, either way works for me
 
we got it worse in australia PBR sells for $100 and yes it is AN INCREDIBLY BIG PIECE OF CRAP.
 
That is the biggest piece of crap ever, and I feel sorry for you. The exchange rate isn't THAT far off betweeen America & Aussy.

I don't know how I would handle that.
 
It wouldn't be a big deal except for the price. They should've charged 25 to 30 bucks, but they charged 50 for it. 50!!!

Let me put that into perspective. 50 bucks is what I paid to buy Oblivion for the PS3. I mean, I rented Battle Revolution first, but that's not the point. The point is there are people that went right out and bought it.

So given the price, was it really that out of line to expect something more than a simple 3-d version of the double battles in Diamond and Pearl? I mean, everyone else puts more into their games.

I mean, how would you feel if Square-Enix made a game where you did nothing but turn-based battles the whole time with no storyline or world exploration or even level gaining, and then called it a Final Fantasy game? Or how about putting Link in a game where you did nothing but push blocks or shoot arrows at stuff the whole time with no rhyme or reason (charging 50 bucks for it in the process), and call it the next Zelda game? You'd be pretty upset.

Oh my God, Thank you! For the quality of the graphics, lack of storyline, or any other additional content other than crappy pokes, it does, in no way, deserve a full fledged, 10$-cheaper-than-a-quality-360-title, price.
 
PBR shouldn't had been a RPG, although I do not like it the way it is set up now. Pokemon Colosseum sucked kind of and so did Gale of Darkness. The shadow pokemon were annoying, but otherwise, they were pretty good, but not as good as the portables. It probably would had been almost the same as a RPG--Walk around poketopia, battle other trainers, and fight in colosseums--that's all it would had been. I wish that it was set up as the pokemon stadiums-battle the gym leaders and stuff like that.
***It would had been awesome if they kept up pokemon stadium. It would be all the gym leaders from each region, with all the game songs. The songs from Kanto and Johto rocked, especially on stadium 2.

I 100% agree. And, it should not only have free battles, but Lvl 100 wifi at that. And those mini games. I miss Digging Sandshrew, & Sushi Likitung.
 
the graphics really could have done with a update (fur texture, maby some different movements for the pokemon ect)
i meen come on they were exactly the same for the N64! supposedly Nintendo have improved? i really dont see it with PBR
and why in the hell can you only upload your pokemon form one game? for peeps with both D and P this really is quite an annoyeing little bit
i rember on Both the N64 games you could uplode as many different games as you liked!

and why did they get rid of the mini games? i LOVED them they gave the game a bit more longlevity for me
i like a change of pace now and again you know?

as for the RPG thing i was never really into that much but again it was a good change of pace

My only wish would be that they'd make the battles a bit more Colosseum/XD - esque. Remember that awesome music when battling with GBAs in colossuem? What happened to that? It really was the best battle music there ever was. The colossuem/XD battle modes looked more action-like aswell, the camera angles were excellent and the camera even shook when Pokemon were called in and out.

It's a good game, but they 'fixed' what wasn't broken, and I'd play it a lot more if the adjustments above were made!

EDIT: Here's a vid to show what I'm talking about.

No PBR does not need an RPG system. We already have Diamond and Pearl I mean what is there to add for PBR to even have a story line. The games of Colusseum and XD were probably the best 3d rpg of pokemon and did well. I mean the ideas are getting depleted. Plus this game is meant for battles BATTLE REVOLUTION. So why would you ask for an RPG mode what is there to even do. But the graphics could have been done better. But i understand why nintendo didn't want to go with fur details and wut not. Cause it wouldn't match a scheme of pokemon I mean even in TV show you don't see pikachu's with detailed fur. The graphics are good some pokemon just need better models. And animations need better improvement. Nintendo went more with a smooth look instead the rough fuzzy stuff. Also the could of tried making the animations of some moves better I mean have you seen brick break. Does not match at all. Most pokemon have great looks but other like golduck, Sceptile, Nidoking and Nidoqueen could use that smooth touch as well.

What they need is improved animations and re model some pokemon. Apart from that the game is good, I mean it is a battling game after all.
 
Definitely. When I got the game, I had no idea about the no RPG thing. I was dancing up and down. I begun to play and it seemed perfect until of course I found out. I play on it about once a fortnight now...I would have loved to combine the graphics, the commentator and everything good about it with an RPG. It would be the best game ever!
 
Really, the battle system is done. That's the hard part. All they would need to do is some basic overwolrd stuff and some text for story and they're done. If &*$% Mortal Kombat can have an RPG mode, then why the heck can't Pokemon?
 
in my oppinion it is the worst game i have ever played in my entire life...im deadset serious that its the worst thing to ever come into the gaming community nintendo shud be shot for even developing such a low life game..it may have been better with an rpg mode but with the likes of this game i find it impossible to improve on something so downbeat
