Players can fully customize their {{pkmn|Trainer}} to use on Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Players can customize their [[Model|characters]] with hats, shirts, glasses, and other things. Additionally, for the U.S. release, Nintendo had added the option to customize a Trainer’s skin pigmentation. A key difference from this game compared to the Stadium titles is that minigames are absent from this game.

Key differences from other Pokémon console games shown are that the Pokémon can now actually strike at the opponent physically while both Pokémon are rendered on the screen, instead of seeing one {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} attacking and then cutting away to the second getting hit by the attack as in previous titles. Moves that do not contact, however, follow the same style as the older games to keep the pace of gameplay up.

Moves that do not contact, however, follow the same style as the older games to keep the pace of gameplay up. When an attack that strikes more than one Pokémon is performed, it may hit two of them on screen simultaneously, instead of showing it as the attack striking one Pokémon first then the second Pokémon next. The game also features a 100-Trainer battle when it is completed for the first time. | ||
Like the two Stadium games, Pokémon Battle Revolution features an announcer that provides play-by-play commentary. | |||

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 [[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 Trainers will begin to use [[Legendary Pokémon]]. | ||

Battle Revolution | Battle Revolution was the first Pokémon game on any home console to have online functionality. It used its own 12-digit friend code, separate from the Wii’s code. This 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 | Once logged on, one had the option of battling random Wi-Fi matches, or with friends. When battling random Wi-Fi, one could only play using the level 50 all rule set, but could select [[Double Battle|Double]] or Single Battles (Double being the default). After selecting the preferred Colosseum and Trainer Card, the game would begin searching for an opponent and the battle would begin when one is found. During the battle, all Pokémon nicknames were removed and all Trainer quotes were set to their defaults. After the battle, one could exchange Friend Passes, but only if both parties were in agreement. | ||
One | One could also battle friends, in which case, one could create a battle and modify all aspects of the rules (although custom rules could not be created and altered in the Wi-Fi mode itself, they could be changed in other modes before logging on) and Colosseum. From the friend lobby, players could see the current status of anyone on their friend list and join a battle they were hosting. | ||
Online functionality for Pokémon Battle Revolution was shut down on May 20, 2014 with the discontinuation of the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]] service. | |||

Due to the lack of clauses in online random multiplayer, Trainers with [[ | Due to the lack of clauses in online random multiplayer, Trainers with [[Legendary Pokémon]] ran rampant on the system, attracting controversy as to why Pokémon Battle Revolution was not using official Pokémon video game tournament rules—which ban Legendary Pokémon. 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 Trade System#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 [http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=934033&topic=36507640 stated]{{dead link}} that the ban was a technical difficulty. The similar GTS problem was not addressed. | ||
The ban was lifted sometime later, as Legendary Pokémon were then able to be used until the discontinuation of [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]]. | |||

This was fixed later on, and Alamos Darkrai were freely usable until the discontinuation of Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. | ||

The game was first announced by Nintendo president Satoru Iwata at a Nintendo marketing event in Japan on June 7, 2006.

The first shown video of Pokémon Battle Revolution showcased a battle between Red and Leaf on what would become the Neon Colosseum. Interestingly, in said movie, a Groudon uses Hyper Beam on a Deoxys, not only defeating it, but leaving a large gash in the floor of the Colosseum, and a hole in the wall. It is unknown if these environment damages would have remained over the course of the battle, but no such thing is possible in the final game. The camera also appeared to be more dynamic than it is in the final game: when selecting its moves, the camera first focuses on the first Pokémon, then quickly pans over to the second Pokémon to select its moves, then pans over to the Trainer who is shown making an attack command, and the attacks begin. The camera simply cuts between these shots in the final game. The last difference is the HP meter that is shown on screen when damage is done. In the video, the numerical value of the HP is shown on the HP meter, however that does not happen in any game mode in the final version. | The first shown video of Pokémon Battle Revolution showcased a battle between Red and Leaf on what would become the Neon Colosseum.

The DS linkup feature was demoed at 2006 Nintendo World Tour for the first time. As well as allowing Pokémon from a Pokémon Diamond or Pearl cartridge to be used in-game, it replaces the on-screen battle menu normally used in conjunction with the Wii Remote. The battle menu is displayed on the DS touchscreen instead, and is navigated with the stylus. Up to eight players can play in a 1 on 1 tournament, much like the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}'s Battle Dome in {{game|Emerald}}. | The DS linkup feature was demoed at 2006 Nintendo World Tour for the first time.
