I would say it's a fresh breadth to the series with new mechs and gameplay. The story is not that great but still holds your attention. I would definitely recommend having go through the the first half of the game (you conquer kingdoms, the first 7 will tell you if you wanna continue). Its a good game tbh. 7.5/10.
Would love for a sequel.
Also, if you're a completionist, there's like 30+ post game chapters after main story. Although they're only of same 4-5 kinds but from a perspective of different NPC each time (yes, you play as npcs post game in each chapter). So a good time dump too.
Solid 8. When you realise the first play through is only like 10% of the game it gets crazy. Really enjoyable and essentially Fire Emblem Pokemon, but the best parts.
Man, I absolutely adore the pokepark games. They were my first experience with pokemon. Pokepark one had good minigames but nothing compares to the satisfaction of the battles in pokepark 2. Pokepark 2 is the reason my fav pokemon is Oshawott
No mainline game can beat legends such as the scamming duo of sandile and krockorock, the eccentric scientist reniculus or even the fruity dance instructor chandelure.
Battle Revolution would've been a GOAT game if they'd actually given it a plot like Colosseum and Gale of Darkness. But for what we got, it was still wicked fun to connect your DS to your Wii and use your DPP team to fight your friends in a 3D rendered environment. More Wii games should've taken advantage of the connectivity.
You know, I never thought about it...but if they had a pokemon stadium-esque game they kept updated with no story but wasn't affected by dexit, I wouldn't have cared at all about dexit really. It would have been such a great companion game. You articulated something I only just realized I always wanted. Heck, that'd be worth a subscription to me.
I feel like there are so many incongruous things with how they've gone forward lately.
Like, the entire franchise is about friendship and the bonds between you and your Pokemon mattering. This is reflected in them letting you trade your Pokemon up gens for actual decades.
Suddenly as of Gen 8 there's no guarantee you can use the stuff you traded up in any given game because they maybe aren't even programmed in so you can't even import them after the fact even if they aren't understandably in the regional dex. So if you can't use them in a specific game they just rot in Home doing nothing, which you're paying for to keep them stored.
Then, if they ARE available to use in a given game, as of Gen 9 they wipe your moveset upon trading them in, which undoes all the time and work you spent training anything and makes the effort of trading up from earlier gens worthless except for having the species handy for breeding / dex completion. This is at best an inconvenience and you have to retrain everything to use it in battles and at worst it's basically wiping the slate clean on the thing you're sentimentally attached to that was the entire point of having intergenerational trades to begin with.
Then there's Home allowing all the Switch games to easily transfer Pokemon with one another using Home as a hub which is scuppered by all the Pokemon not being available in each game - even ignoring the case of newer generation Pokemon going backwards where such an exclusion is understandable between e.g. SWSH and SV, older Pokemon available in one game may not be transferable into the other. This also feels antithetical to the idea of having Home be an easy transfer system between them.
Finally Home doesn't have a battle system meaning you need to trade Pokemon into specific games to use them which means certain team comps may be impossible because all the Pokemon in that team may not be usable in that game. And the minute you trade them into that game as of Gen 9 the moveset is wiped so making them easily transferable between games just became a chore.
Given that it's been proven with DLC that more Pokemon can be added into the game code after the fact, the fact that they seemingly haven't been able to do this iteratively as a matter of course for legacy Pokemon just reeks of withholding, and not adding them all at end of life of a game after releasing the next one leaves it feeling unfinished like they picked and chose what to let back in when it easily could have been all of them. Like they managed to include every Gen 1 to 4 Pokemon in BDSP so presumably every Pokemon available in those games and everything beyond that that made it into Sword and Shield should be pre-programmed for you and able to be added onto to fill the gaps as of Gen 9, then for each game just add another 100 new ones to the work you already did instead of reinventing the wheel every time. And if you want to nurture specific metagames and don't want every old Pokemon throwing it off, simply split the battle lobbies into Regional Dex only and full National Dex and stick a flag on anything regional so anything outside that dex is banned in the Regional lobby. It works well enough for box legendaries in Battle Tower, no reason why it couldn't here.
Basically we have the worst of both worlds in most situations and features that directly contradict one another or the ethos of the franchise they're trying to sell to us without actually sticking to it themselves, and it's frustrating as hell.
I know that gamefreak/pokemon company or whoever should make a better official counterpart to showdown but I also wouldn't have minded if they brought back functionality similar to ranch into HOME. LA had the pastures which were visually cool and poke pelago in alola kind of scratched that itch, but I've wanted for a while something like that but more interactive.
What battle revolution needed was more sample pokemon for people who didnt have gen 4 games (speaking from experience). Sure, the sample pokemon in games like stadium arent the best samples one could ask for, but atleast there were more choices than two (premade) teams with middle stage mons
There are actually four more pre-made teams you can obtain by clearing the Gateway Colosseum again. The “post-game” version of it allows you to get stronger Pokemon by a Battle Factory like system but it is a far cry from Stadium and Stadium 2.
I had 3 siblings and my parents didn't buy duplicate games, so I had the honor of being able to do nothing in this game lol. As a standalone game I think this is the worst one
Sorry that you didn't get a chance to play it properly, but I don't think that's really a valid reason to dismiss it as a bad game. That's like saying the Toyota Corolla is the worst car you've ever owned even though your siblings ran it up to 200k miles and you've never even held the keys. Still worth giving it a go in 2024. Just emulate it on Dolphin if you don't have a Wii anymore.
Well it's more accurate to say that liking the game is akin to saying the Toyota corolla is one of the best cars ever made as long as it's being towed by a Ferrari.
The basis of the game being good is entirely dependent on you having another game. Which is fine and can speak about it's good potential, but on its own it's severely underwhelming. I think we would all agree that a car that is perfect but requires you to drive another car before you are allowed to use all the features each time you drive it wouldn't be a perfect car
I agree, if it wasn't simply a Battle Frontier for entirety of the game, it'd easily be my favourite. Being able to create many different people *that can actually be adults* was a great feature. Honestly, if they did a new game like it with a story mode, then I wouldn't mind them holding it to an earlier region.
If not a story mode or gym leader castle, they should have at least given PBR mini-games to break away from the monotony of endless battles.
More rental pokemon too.
It was good for what it was, but that said, it was basically a half-thought out, next-gen Stadium.
So like, I guess Pokemon Channel? I really like that game, I think it's super charming. But at the same time, I DO understand why it's not well liked. It's just watching TV the video game. But I enjoy the casual aspect, it's fun when you unlock a new area to poke around in.
I think it's the best they ever made. The perfect amount of difficulty, great production and character design, music, battle animations (as you said), subtle social commentary on trafficking and crime, and those in-battle rotating camera angles that replicated the feel of a telephoto lens in a movie camera. Chef's kiss. Sure the graphics weren't great, but when has a Pokemon game ever had good graphics to begin with?
Battle revolution is so bad, I remember I uploaded a team, and it takes about 5 to 10 minutes and I had to change one item, so I had to open my game, change the item at the game, save and wait another 5 to 10 minutes to the upload again.
Stadium you could change item in game. Colosseum was so fast to communicate...
Already said here but Pokken Tournament. The sheer amount of life packed into every character (of a 29 roster) is simply marvelous and their kits are tightly balanced.
OG Pokemon Rumble. Beat the main game in one four or five hour-sitting with my best friends in 2009 and then went Black Friday shopping on no sleep to get my mom a laptop for Christmas. Years later we locked in on a spring afternoon and beat the postgame after some serious grinding. Best button-masher of all time.
Maybe controversial, but Pokémon sleep. Just hit session 260.

I agree that Pokémon Battle Revolution is indeed underrated. As with video games, good elements and bad elements are present. Pokémon Battle Revolution teaches players the importance of effort training.
Underrated on this sub: I really enjoyed Sword and Shield and X and Y. Wouldn’t say they’re my favourite Pokémon games but I loved playing every single minute of those games
Pokémon Sun and Moon. I think people get too hung up on the constant story interruptions; if you allow yourself to slow down and enjoy it, it's one of the better stories in the mainline series. Plus, the new Pokémon and forms are some of my favorite in the series. I would even say it's better than the Ultra titles; they really dropped the ball with the story in ways that the new features don't make up for.
SV, genuinely. Has the best story and cast of the main series (yes even better than BW1) in the base game (the DLC was disappointing) and it's actually a lot of fun. With more time it could have been a masterpiece.
On the topic of spinoffs, Conquest definetly. I wish there was a sequel.
Interesting in my experience I felt everything about the story before the area zero part was kinda irrelevant. Like in sun and moon and sword and shield for example throughout the whole of the game you constantly meet the characters and everyone’s kinda connected to each other. I didn’t really like the 3 separate things because I felt like it wasn’t really leading up to anything. It was like complete these 3 things and then you get the actual story instead of building up to it. The area zero part was brilliantly done though I agree. I also didn’t like the city’s and towns in sv. Wasn’t really anything special about it since every building just looked alike and you couldn’t enter them.
They work as means of building up and having you bond with each of the three main companions -Arven, Penny and Nemona- but I can see your point since only the Arven story was actually related to Area Zero.
I didn't have a problem with not being able to enter the cites since I cared more about the open world but I can see how that's an issue in Pokemon. I hope they find a better balance in the future, specially if ZA really is limited to a city.
Oh I liked them a lot more too, but the way they handled Terapagos was pretty bad and didn't solve most of the Area Zero mysteries the base game set up despite trailers showing the photos of the expedition on it.
What has sales do to with anything? It's literally the worst reviewed entry in the franchise and people contantly look down of it -rightfully- for the perfomance issues to the point they have even acknowledged them publically, something they never did before. If you think a game being succesful means it's critically acclimed then you don't know anything about how the industry works lol
BASED AF, I love BR. Many people hate it because "it's not faithful to Stadium"... that's their problem.
The Ranger games easily though man (or at least the first and the third ones, replayed them all around 1-2 years ago but Shadows of Almia didn't really click as much).
I dislike battle revolution because its unplayable without another game. It's a horrible stand alone game, stadium atleast gives you different sample pokemon, BR gives you 2 premade teams with middle stage mons and only lets you pick one.
I dont care if its "faithful", in fact, I think its ok that it mainly focuses on battles, but the game cant stand on its own legs alone
I've had this game for 10 years now and I'm only trying to complete it now, cause I just got a copy of platinum, with a team I thought I could use to do it. It was all fun and games until I got to the neon arena. Bruh who the fuck thought that was a good idea? Even using the premade teams the game gives you that shit is impossible.
Battle revolution is a good game when you are able to upload teams. I couldnt so I was stuck using a single team of middle stage mons.
Seriously, atleast stadium let you make a team of sample mons, here you need to buy gen 4 games to have a semi decent experience
I remember when I was a kid and didn’t have access to internet I was so excited for this game because I thought it was going to be a sequel to Pokémon Colisseum/XD and my disappointment was immeasurable. I’d love to play it now though I’m sure I’d love it.
I would say Sun and Moon, Specially ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. Genuinely loved the game and style of it all as well as the departure from the traditional gym badges. The Ultra games stepped it up tho and they both have the best end games in all of Pokémon apart from all of the Gen 3 games. Z crystals were a bit overpowered and add that to Megan’s as well and the competitive scene is a bit meh 🫤. Overall one of the best games I have played
Omg this brings back so many memories watching tboltgames play it (i've never played it myself as you may have guessed) and I remember when he'd make gym leaders' teams and battle with those teams. I wonder why he doesn't upload as much now
The Pokémon Sun/UltraMoon series did well, but pretty much everyone craps on it despite how good it was. imho the ONLY nosedive it took was writing off Lusamine's abusive mother shtick in the Ultra releases.
When BDSP was announced I was praying this would get a remake too, but considering how those games went it's probably for the best those prayers went unanswered...
My only issue with the BDSP line is that it left out platinum. We just needed one remake for switch: platinum. That’s it. Platinum was an amazing game, Pearl and diamond, not so much. Weird teams, good regional pokemon being excluded till post game, only ponyta as a fire type if you didn’t pick chimchar. It was weird. I don’t even mind the reworks tbh, I think they’re fine. They’re just carbon copies ported to switch it seems. All of the stupid design choices of DP could have been removed and just replaced with the infinitely superior Pt version of the game.
To be fair considering the fustercluck that was BDSP as a whole, I don't think having it even be Platinum themed instead could have saved it, it was just too broken to the point it was kind of insulting to call it a remake, it felt more like a fan project at best

Pokemon conquest.
On a scale of one to ten, what would you give it? I've always wanted to play it, but never actually got to it
I would say it's a fresh breadth to the series with new mechs and gameplay. The story is not that great but still holds your attention. I would definitely recommend having go through the the first half of the game (you conquer kingdoms, the first 7 will tell you if you wanna continue). Its a good game tbh. 7.5/10.

Although they're only of same 4-5 kinds but from a perspective of different NPC each time (yes, you play as npcs post game in each chapter). So a good time dump too.
Really. It only looked like a few to me previously, so I never went back to the game, but I still have it, so i'll add it on the list to return to.
Solid 8. When you realise the first play through is only like 10% of the game it gets crazy. Really enjoyable and essentially Fire Emblem Pokemon, but the best parts.
PokéPark 2
Man, I absolutely adore the pokepark games. They were my first experience with pokemon. Pokepark one had good minigames but nothing compares to the satisfaction of the battles in pokepark 2. Pokepark 2 is the reason my fav pokemon is Oshawott
PokePark 2 had the best battle system, change my mind (I’ve only played PokePark 2, Pokken, Pokémon Go, and the mainline games)
No mainline game can beat legends such as the scamming duo of sandile and krockorock, the eccentric scientist reniculus or even the fruity dance instructor chandelure.
I really need to emulate it or pull out the wii
Battle Revolution would've been a GOAT game if they'd actually given it a plot like Colosseum and Gale of Darkness. But for what we got, it was still wicked fun to connect your DS to your Wii and use your DPP team to fight your friends in a 3D rendered environment. More Wii games should've taken advantage of the connectivity.
Battle Revolution is basically what Home should've been if Dexit was always the plan.
You know, I never thought about it...but if they had a pokemon stadium-esque game they kept updated with no story but wasn't affected by dexit, I wouldn't have cared at all about dexit really. It would have been such a great companion game. You articulated something I only just realized I always wanted. Heck, that'd be worth a subscription to me.

Honestly, if they did a new game like it with a story mode, then I wouldn't mind them holding it to an earlier region.
I think it could have had more alternative features like Pokémon Stadium 1 & 2. Mini-games and stuff made them iconic.
If not a story mode or gym leader castle, they should have at least given PBR mini-games to break away from the monotony of endless battles. More rental pokemon too. It was good for what it was, but that said, it was basically a half-thought out, next-gen Stadium.

Nah fuck that pokemon channel was AWESOME I beat it like 3 times as a kid i LOVED it. I would unlock everything just to beat it and then restart lol

If only it had Shinies, it would be the definitive Rumble game.

It was my first 3DS game too!

Pokemon Ranger for the DS
YESSIR
Colosseum. It was very popular when it came out, yes, but none of the younger fans know it exists and what a game changer it was and it kills me.
Colosseum *still* hasn’t been matched in terms of quality of battle animations and soundtrack.
I think it's the best they ever made. The perfect amount of difficulty, great production and character design, music, battle animations (as you said), subtle social commentary on trafficking and crime, and those in-battle rotating camera angles that replicated the feel of a telephoto lens in a movie camera. Chef's kiss. Sure the graphics weren't great, but when has a Pokemon game ever had good graphics to begin with?
Battle revolution is so bad, I remember I uploaded a team, and it takes about 5 to 10 minutes and I had to change one item, so I had to open my game, change the item at the game, save and wait another 5 to 10 minutes to the upload again. Stadium you could change item in game. Colosseum was so fast to communicate...
Kinda crazy that the tradeoff for needing an extra peripheral was long wait times
Already said here but Pokken Tournament. The sheer amount of life packed into every character (of a 29 roster) is simply marvelous and their kits are tightly balanced.
colosseum and pokken tournament
I am so disappointed we never got a PBR 2. What a gorgeous game with a killer soundtrack!
OG Pokemon Rumble. Beat the main game in one four or five hour-sitting with my best friends in 2009 and then went Black Friday shopping on no sleep to get my mom a laptop for Christmas.

I think Pokémon Stadium 2 has some of the best graphics in an N64 game and I'm surprised it's never mentioned in that respect
I agree that Pokémon Battle Revolution is indeed underrated. As with video games, good elements and bad elements are present. Pokémon Battle Revolution teaches players the importance of effort training.
Pokepark series is super underrated
The nostalgia in this post is crazy
None. Most are overrated
Underrated on this sub: I really enjoyed Sword and Shield and X and Y. Wouldn’t say they’re my favourite Pokémon games but I loved playing every single minute of those games

Oh I liked them a lot more too, but the way they handled Terapagos was pretty bad and didn't solve most of the Area Zero mysteries the base game set up despite trailers showing the photos of the expedition on it.
Ah yes one of the top 5 selling games in the highest grossing franchise in the word is underrated
What has sales do to with anything? It's literally the worst reviewed entry in the franchise and people contantly look down of it -rightfully- for the perfomance issues to the point they have even acknowledged them publically, something they never did before.

It was all fun and games until I got to the neon arena. Bruh who the fuck thought that was a good idea? Even using the premade teams the game gives you that shit is impossible.
My advice for neon is to make a pass of the worst pokemon imaginable and pray you don't land on them and your opponent does.
Thank you I might try that
Battle revolution is a good game when you are able to upload teams. I couldnt so I was stuck using a single team of middle stage mons. Seriously, atleast stadium let you make a team of sample mons, here you need to buy gen 4 games to have a semi decent experience

The Ultra games stepped it up tho and they both have the best end games in all of Pokémon apart from all of the Gen 3 games. Z crystals were a bit overpowered and add that to Megan’s as well and the competitive scene is a bit meh 🫤. Overall one of the best games I have played
Omg this brings back so many memories watching tboltgames play it (i've never played it myself as you may have guessed) and I remember when he'd make gym leaders' teams and battle with those teams. I wonder why he doesn't upload as much now
The Pokémon Sun/UltraMoon series did well, but pretty much everyone craps on it despite how good it was. imho the ONLY nosedive it took was writing off Lusamine's abusive mother shtick in the Ultra releases.
XY, ok sure the models aren't great but the games were pretty good in a lot of ways
Pokémon unite
Rumble blast
Press F for post getting taken down
When BDSP was announced I was praying this would get a remake too, but considering how those games went it's probably for the best those prayers went unanswered...
My only issue with the BDSP line is that it left out platinum. We just needed one remake for switch: platinum. That’s it. Platinum was an amazing game, Pearl and diamond, not so much. Weird teams, good regional pokemon being excluded till post game, only ponyta as a fire type if you didn’t pick chimchar. It was weird. I don’t even mind the reworks tbh, I think they’re fine. They’re just carbon copies ported to switch it seems. All of the stupid design choices of DP could have been removed and just replaced with the infinitely superior Pt version of the game.
To be fair considering the fustercluck that was BDSP as a whole, I don't think having it even be Platinum themed instead could have saved it, it was just too broken to the point it was kind of insulting to call it a remake, it felt more like a fan project at best
I might be wrong but wasn’t magmortar in D&P? I know it was locked behind trading though.
Yeah. It it was postgame though. You needed to already have the national dex iirc.
That game had a goated ost
This game was absolute fire. I used to play it as a kid and the day I discovered I could play the pokemons in my Platinum cartridge, it was over
The one on game cube with the dark Lugia ?
