==Colosseums==
==Colosseums==
The game features eleven different colosseums, each with special changes to normal play or prerequisites and either a [[Colosseum Leader]] or [[Colosseum Master]]. The six Colosseum Leaders wear Pokémon costumes; for example, Marina of the Waterfall Colosseum wears a Kyogre costume. Also, the Crystal Colosseum can hold up to 16 players, the battles are done in a 16 person tournament mode. After beating the Pokétopia Championship, the player is given a {{p|Pikachu}} with {{m|Volt Tackle}}, {{m|Surf}}, and a held [[Light Ball]] (such a Pikachu is impossible for a player to make by normal means). Each level rule (Level 30 Open and Level 50 All) for a Colosseum has a specific ranking, which goes up as the player wins. As the rank increases, the Trainers become stronger and the Poké Coupon rewards become greater. Around Rank 7, the Leaders, and even Trainers, will begin to use [[Legendary Pokémon]].

Battle Revolution is the first Pokémon game on any home console to go online. It uses its own 12-digit friend code, separate from the Wii’s code. This has received widespread controversy, because the use of a Wii Number was believed to eliminate the need to have a friend code for each online game, as with DS Wi-Fi games; however, this is not the case, as subsequent releases have proven.

Once logged on, one has the option of battling random Wi-Fi matches, or with friends. When battling random Wi-Fi, one can only play using the level 50 all rule set, but can select double or Single Battles (Double being the default). After selecting the preferred Colosseum and Trainer Card, the game will begin searching for an opponent and the battle will begin when one is found. During the battle, all Pokémon nicknames are removed and all Trainer quotes are set to their defaults. After the battle, one can exchange Friend Passes, but only if both parties are in agreement.

One can also battle friends, in which case, one can create a battle and modify all aspects of the rules (although custom rules cannot be created and altered in the Wi-Fi mode itself, they can be changed in other modes before logging on) and Colosseum. From the friend lobby, players can see the current status of anyone on their friend list and join a battle they are hosting.

==Legendary Pokémon banning controversy==
==Legendary Pokémon banning controversy==
Due to the lack of clauses in online random multiplayer, Trainers with [[legendary Pokémon]] ran rampant on the system, attracting a fair amount of controversy as to why [[Nintendo]] was not using official Nintendo tournament rules, which ban legendary Pokémon, on their service. However, on July 3, 2007, legendary Pokémon (referred to as "exotic" Pokémon by the game) became banned from the system. Although it was originally speculated to be a [[glitch]], a [[Global Terminal#Temporary Legendary Pokémon ban|similar incident]] occurred on the same date regarding {{game3|Diamond and Pearl|two other games|s}}. The banning of these Pokémon has received a large amount of controversy from the community. A Nintendo representative later stated [http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=934033&topic=36507640] that the ban was a technical difficulty. The similar GTS problem was not addressed.

It seems that the ban was lifted sometime later, as legendary Pokémon can currently be used.
