Pokemon Battle Revolution 1310.

Pokemon Battle Revolution

Platform: Wii
June 25, 2007
Using the wireless connection between the DS and Wii, owners of Pokemon Diamond or Pokemon Pearl can use their handheld as a controller in playing Pokemon Battle Revolution. Players can give orders to their Pokemons using the DS, and then watch the result of the battle on the TV screen. Having a DS isn't mandatory in playing Pokémon Battle Revolution, although it broadens the range of strategy when challenging other players. Using the DS lets you set up your Pokemon on the handheld's dual LCD rather than the TV screen, making it somewhat of a guessing game to figure out what the opponent player is up to. Aside from being the first Wii game to make use of the DS-Wii connectivity, Pokemon Battle Revolution is the first Wii game to be playable online through Nintendo's Wi-Fi connection service.
