    Mediocre, repetitive, bland and short of content, I had my hopes to liked it, but it's to boring to start with. Of course , is very cool the option to see your grown Pokemon to battle in the big screen, tho, thats the only great and original feature in it. Other than that , its plagued with battle's every time, if they added the exploration system like what they did with Gale of DarknessMediocre, repetitive, bland and short of content, I had my hopes to liked it, but it's to boring to start with.

    You'll enjoy it, but only if you have a generation 4 pokemon game: Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, or SoulSilver. You'll need one of these games because there are very few pokemon available in the game without one of them. Pokemon Battle Revolution has great graphics and a lot of battles available.

    It's Pokemon Stadium without the rentals, and that what breaks it. The game has nice visuals and plays like Pokemon Stadium, but without the rentals it just becomes a big mess for people who don't have a DS.

    Let's put it this way. This game is utterly miserable, completely unfair if you do not have a DS, as you have to resort to the mediocre rental teams. Even if you do have one, this at best feels a 3D Battle Frontier. Just buy the Gen 4 Pokemon games, they probably cheaper than this lukewarm soup of a game.

    This is a rather tricky game to review.

    The game gets a lot of things right: The soundtrack, the visuals (especially for the Wii), replay value, customization and bang for your buck.

    The game gets a lot of things right: The soundtrack, the visuals (especially for the Wii), replay value, customization and bang for your buck. The soudtrack is catchy and well composed, the visuals are honestly some of the best on the Wii and the customization options are borderline limitless.

    However, replay value and bang for your buck are subjective. To fully enjoy the game, you have to have any of the Gen IV games (Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold & SoulSilver). If you don't have any of these titles, the game becomes very dull due to the very boring single player mode. This is something XD and Colosseum do well enough, this game just has competitions and tournaments, not a true single player campaign.

    If you have any of the titles mentioned, you are going to have a ridiculous amount of fun with this game. However if you don't have any of those titles, either buy just one of these titles or skip the game.    … Expand

    I can see why this game is hated but in general the game isn't half bad. The game does have repetitive gameplay and ain't fun as other pokemon spinoffs but the best thing about this game are the GRAPHICS.

    O primeiro jogo do wii que joguei, antigamente eu adorava o jogo, por ser muito fã de pokemon, mas hoje vejo que ele é cheio de problemas, voce noa pode escolher muitos pokemon, e se quiser aproveitar ele é melhor ter um ds com pokemon

    Pokemon stadium was a really great game for the most part, the game has some nice parts to it. This game is ok not great just good. You can either use the games Pokemon or copy over yours. The online is ok and nothing special bout it. The story is non existence and the music is very basic action music.

    It's alright, but only if you actually have Diamond or Pearl. In my opinion however, Stadium for the N64 was a lot better, and so much more could have been done with this really.

    Decently fun although after a while it will eventually get repetitive.
    All Pokemons have each their own unique faint animation,which is a nice touch unlike the 3DS Pokemon games which just recycles every faint animation.

    Better graphics and battle animations than Nintendo Switch Gen 8 games Sword and Shield.

    After playing Colosseum and XD, also developed by Genius Sonority, this title feels like a joke.
    This is a clone of Colosseum without Story mode, that does not fix the latter's problems and that's UNPLAYABLE without importing your own team from a Generation 4 DS game.
    At least from Colosseum you could raise a bunch of decent pokemon, legendaries included, straight from Story Mode. The    After playing Colosseum and XD, also developed by Genius Sonority, this title feels like a joke.

    It's just not fun any more. I've gotten really good at building Pokemon teams over the years, but this game has gotten worse. Within all that flash, Pokemon Stadium has disappeared. What a shame. I plan to rearview this game after I build a better team in HGSS.

    A battle simulator that does his own. The story inside could obviously be more developed or even could be created as there is next to nothing.
    But for its original purpose as a simulator it was also a good experience

    Graphically, this game is incredible. Physical attacks cause Pokemon to actually make contact, and Special attacks damage the scenery. The Pokemon themselves are rendered incredibly well, as are the trainers. [JPN Import]

    It should come packaged with "Diamond/Pearl" for an extra 5 quid. It doesn't. Avoid. [Jan 2007, p.70]

    An expensive and entirely cosmetic companion to the DS games. [Jan 2008, p.50]
