Hook up your DS to the Wii and Poke-battle!

Pokemon Battle Revolution is the new Pokemon title to hit the Nintendo Wii exclusively and it isn’t a surprise following the immense success of Pokemon Diamond and Pearl on the DS. It seems that as the years go on and on, new generations still follow the Pokemon craze and the games are just as great. I still remember playing the original Pokemon Red in 1999 and damn it was a fine game with friends around.
Now players can connect their DS controllers wirelessly to the Wii and control their Pokemon onscreen with the control on the DS stylus. Pokemon Battle Revolution is very much similar to the previous 3D Pokemon titles which featured on the Gamecube. This might disappoint some hardcore Poke-fans but I am sure the wireless inclusion of the Wii controllers and even the DS wireless connection should prove rewarding.
Gamers can catch, train and battle their Pokemon as usual, and can battle opponents in team battles or traditional one on one. My only complaint is that it is not a traditional RPG title – unlike the DS and Gameboy titles. Disappointing but hopefully Nintendo will push forward a 3D RPG perhaps in Pokemon land for the Wii?
Graphically, the game looks like a slightly improved version of the Gamecube statuim titles. This why I am disappointed with the Nintendo Wii – the graphics cannot compare to the PS3 and Xbox 360. But then again, if the gameplay is fun and addictive, then graphics would probably come in 3rd place. This game will certainly be a must-have title on the Wii and will be released in Europe and USA in June.
