I can't help but think it's odd that there are NO threads out yet about Pokemon Revolution, even though it will be officially released in North America in under 30 days! Maybe it's because for most people, the WiFi in D/P in enough for them. Actually, that's what your probably thinking right now. Who needs junky 3D XD sprites that haven't been updated since Pokemon Stadium?
Well, unfortunately, sprites have NOT gotten an upgrade, but attack sprites have. Ice Beam is AMAZING, and now with physical attacks you can actually see your Pokemon hitting the foe. People who have played Colo or XD will know that all physical attacks oddly didn't show physical contact. If your a normal person, which I certainly hope you are, then you'd probably think that was odd, and so did I. Luckily those days are over.
What else does this junky game have over past console games, and our current D/P WiFi? Trainer customization! I for one am tired of having everybody else on WiFi look EXACTLY like me. In Pokemon Battle Revolution
you get to make your trainer! From male to female, to blonde hair to purple, to what clothes you wear, you customize it.
Ok, so maybe it does have a LITTLE bit of advantages over D/P WiFi, right? I mean it's not like SERIOUS competitive battlers like us should care about fancy smancy sprites, right? Well, there's an advantage for people who just flat out like battling too. What's that, you may ask? RANDOM BATTLES VIA WIFI! Forget friend codes! Who needed them? Now you can battle total and complete strangers!
And last but not least, who could forget everybody's favourite announcer from the Stadium games?! Well, you'll be glad to know he'll be returning again, without that stupid phrases like "That was rock!". Joe (Serebii) also says, and I quote, "You'll be pleased with the commentator this time".

Watch 2:47 to watch the little Delcatty walk up to giant Palkia and give it a nice tail slap xD
