Battle Revolution
I'm going to try to actually get back to posting on this regularly again. I probably won't, but I want to spend a few minutes a day writing. I've hardly done any of the writing for the comics for the last few months, unfortunately.
Anyhow, I spent a decent portion of my free time this weekend playing Pokemon Battle Revolution, mainly because I'm trying to catch them all, and this is the only way to get certain items needed to evolve pokemon. I found two important things out:
1) When you buy an item, it is broadcast wirelessly to your DS. It's broadcast to all DSes in range, actually. Isabel and I were able to get two of each item for the price of one. This is good.
2) Each Pokemon Diamond or Pearl cartridge can only receive each item once. So if you purchase an item a second time, you get nothing. This is bad because some items are needed to evolve multiple pokemon (like the King's Rock, for instance).
Anyhow, there's not much else to the game. I shouldn't bother reviewing it - anyone who would buy it already has - but there's not much game to it. It's pretty much useless if you don't have Diamond or Pearl. There are ten different colosseums you can battle in, and most of them are pretty much the same things. The ones that aren't have bad gimmicks (eg. Your pokemon must be level 5 or under. All the opposing pokemon are level 5, so even if you have a good team, you have to breed them and raise them to exactly level 5, without going over). I can't think of a reason to play the game besides the DS buyables. All you can buy in-game are clothes. You can't see the clothes before you but them, and I think they all look pretty much the same.
