Pokémon Battle Revolution: Difference between revisions
I wanted to put this image up in gameplay section, but the infobox doesn't like that. Maybe it's not necessary.

The game was first announced by Nintendo president Satoru Iwata at a Nintendo marketing event in Japan on June 7, 2006. At the event, Iwata described Wii-to-DS connectivity using the game as an example, stating that gamers with either Pokémon Diamond or Pearl can play battles using their Diamond or Pearl Pokémon to Pokémon Battle Revolution using their DS as a controller. | 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[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hu62vyqEZKo]. Interestingly, in said movie, a Groudon uses a 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 her moves, the camera first focuses on the first Pokémon, then quickly pans over to the second Pokémon to select it's 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 first shown video of Pokémon Battle Revolution showcased a battle between Red and Leaf on what would become the Neon Colosseum[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hu62vyqEZKo].

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 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 {{ho|Battle Frontier}}'s Battle Dome in [[Pokémon Emerald]]. | The DS linkup feature was demoed at 2006 Nintendo World Tour for the first time.
