Pokemon Battle Revolution
(ポケモンバトルレボリューション)
(Pokémon Battle Revolution)

Japanese Release Date: December 14th, 2006
American Release Date: June 25th, 2007

Overview: The first Pokemon-related game for the Wii allows players to battle with the pokemon from their Diamond & Pearl games in 3D! Players are able to customize their trainers and use either pokemon uploaded from their Diamond & Pearl games or a set of rental pokemon to hone their battling skills. There is, much to the surprise of many, no RPG mode in this game.

Changes: An option to change the skin color of your characters that was not in the Japanese version has been added to the American version. To showcase this new feature, Nintendo changed the skin color of the leader of the Neon Colosseum, Rapla (Rosie), from a peach color to brown.

Jynx's model was redone. Her hands were made to be the same color as her face (originally the face was light purple and her hands were dark blue; in the English version they're both light purple) and her hair was both shortened and recolored.

Trivia: Pokemon Battle Revolution was the first game released for the Nintendo Wii to include online features.
