PBR a failure? or not? discuss

[kill_shot]

Well personally I think it failed for a console game.

Graphics are better on the launch game Wii Sports
Pokemon sit there and get hit by very slow moves.
Some of the moves don't match their characteristics or the DS version.
Pokemon don't say names.
Sound lacks a lot.
Pokemon let the foe attack it as it slowly moves towards it and slowly hits it with a gay attack that doesn't even physically hit it like fury swipes.
When a move misses, it doesn't even show it miss.
Hyber Beam looks like shadow beam.

Thunder doesn't even compare to thunder on GBA
some powerful moves don't even look cool.
Volt tackle looks like a weak spark.

Not even an RPG, basically. I think that the N64 stadium games are better.

Discuss!

I like the graphics but I agree with you everything about the moves. I love the random wi-fi battles though.

[Lusitania]

Yeah, I disagree except three things. They could've used cooler attacks for the cooler attaacks. Te pokemon could've fought back a little, but it would've gotten hit. Yeah, and theu could've shown and missed, like they did on Stdium, but only stadium.

[Tamer Marco]

lol, its a failure. Its good to see that Pokemon games are finally getting treated to online services, but compared to like, every other game out there, its pretty bad.

I think Pokemon was just meant to on the handheld.

[Fire Away]

Eh, I have fun doing wi-fi on it, so by that simple virtue alone I wouldn't go so far as to call it a total disaster. It's definitely lacking in some key areas, though, particularly the ones you listed.

I must agree to all of your points here.
Although the inclusion of finally getting an online game for the
Wii was indeed a plus..and that's what really is the only
good part of this game. Sure graphic wise..it's the best looking
pokemon game thus far..let's not forget..it does get somewhat
repeditive over the course of time.
And like someone said on a previous post..I think pokemon was meant for
the handheld. And I still wish they could've added a
bit more to PBR. Maybe some wi-fi pokemon contest? Or maybe some new mini-games.
Take your pick. ^^

[Temination]

I am seriously ticked at this game.The graphics are good but game sucks and if I was a Pokemon in the game,I wouldn't just stand there and let myself get attacked by a Pokemon that is really slow.I been waiting for this game but it turns out to be another crappy XD and Colosseum Game.

They seriously need to make a good Pokemon Stadium game sequel.

[TheEvilDookie]

its not a failure. But i do agree that it couldve been a lot better. People are going crazy over the surfing pikachus. last night, there was an auction on one and this one guy got 2 shiny legends.

[Darkria111]

The game isn't bad but isn;t good either. I would have liked to be able to walk around Poketopie.

Lol I don't even have the game ^^

But yeah, after hearing all of this, I think I'll save my money ^^

[Xerion]

I'll have to agree with Kill_Shot, it wasen't as good as a ame as I anticipated.

It would've been better if you could actually walk in the game. (Also I need advice on how to beat Sunset in PBR..)

[Moonlit Umbreon]

Oh... I love this topic. -ahem-

The graphics look too jell-o ish to me, but I guess all game graphics are becoming that way. The entire game is like one big Battle Frontier, which I personally find boring and hate. As many sources have already claimed, the lacking RPG concept kills the fun of it all, and if someone weren't to own DP, PBR wouldn't even be worth playing. The game obviously gets old after about 4 hours, or in my case, I finished it in that time. -_-'' The music is just cheap remixes of Colloseums/XD's music, if you actually listen to it. I would say save your money. PBR is probably only a bit interesting if you have WiFi.

[Tamer Marco]

Seriously, thats why you guys should actually wait until the game is reviewed until you buy it.

And something I would actually buy is a Pokemon MMORPG. But I wouldn't buy these games, because all they are is nothing but battles.

And just to clarify, Pokemon Stadium sucked too. You guys just think its better because its so old and nostalgic, but Pokemon Revolution is really on par with Stadium.

I actually have to agree with that. :/ I don't get what is so awesome about pointless battling and some crappy mini-games. I mean, seriously! Everyone's like "They should of put mini-games in it! It would have been a whole lot better!" No. It wouldn't of. I don't see what was fun about dashing after some fruit, choppin some wood, heck, everything else I don't care to remeber.

Now all you Stadium lovers can kill me. :>

[Todd6]

Its ok the should have made the game $30.

[Axonn]

I agree with all that have been said so I won't repeat it again.

They could've put more effort into this game :sad:
Not worth $50 but Random Battles are nice.

If there aren't anyone using Ubers.

Its all good when well pbr 2 come out?

[Dark Charizard]

Stadium was awesome, it was really like a complete game, you could use all rentals, play R/B/Y on it. And also challenge gyms and cups, I think it's alot better than PBR, but PBR is still a good game, just not for 50. >.<

[kill_shot]

on stadium you can use any pokemon.
mini games are fun
but yeah. not a complete failure. but it was a weak attempt by nintendo for a wii game.

pluss a lot of the pokemon don't even have 3d facual features.

Colo was better than XD. :susp: Maybe Battle Rev. I only did a little at a Game Crazy.

[Wingull]

What I only like about PBR is the graphics, it's nice.
Bu the Game is a total Failure for sure.
It would of rocked if it atleast had a decent story in it.

[Galactic Spriter]

It would be kind of better if it was like colosseum and you could actually Trade pokemon to PBR, not copy and you could trade back from PBR

[Haelleah]

Man, hearing all this makes me glad I hadn't wasted my money on this game yet. How disappointing, I was looking forward to it so much :sad:

[Dragon trainner guy]

i think the game is awsome its for those trianner who wants pure battleing so wut it dosent have a story line the wifi battleing is great way to test out ur teams plus the graphics is amzing

ill give it a 7 outta 10

[EonMaster Tek]

I must be the only one who disagrees with all of this, I was amazed with the game, it's fun... the way you all talk, it sounds to me your saying it's bad because it didn't have a story mode, story mode is what made Colosseum a failure in my honest opinion, but I do agree that SOME attacks are pretty slow, and your all acting kinda weird about poke'mon just standing there, uhh, it's an RPG, it's turn based, go play Final Fantasy or some other RPG, they don't fight back, they stand there and take the hit then they use there attack, this isn't the TV show people!, I'm sorry, but I do not agree, this game gets a nice 8.5/10 for me, 8.5 because Colosseum mode is to short and easy, and because SOME attacks are to slow.:biggrin:

[Dragon trainner guy]

i totally agree with u so wut if it dosent have a story its batttle revoultion it says it in the title its all about banging heads in battle thats all

[Poltergeist]

If you don't have DP and Wifi steer far away from this wii title. Thats basically what you need to know. The game in my opionion wasn't worth 50 bucks as it is only a bunch of random battles against a bunch of random people. I would've taken colloseums storyline over this anyday as their was an actual story and pokemon that you could catch so it was a step in the right direction. At first Nintendo talked about how attacks like hyperbeam would affect the battlefield. Sounded nice, too bad Nintendo got lazy and decided to not waste their time caring about us. Also I have to ask when the pokemon is downed why does it get back up to its spot just to fall back down?!?!?! Nintendo you could've done much better.

Outcome: Failure

[EonMaster Tek]

No, people should have known not to get this game if they didn't have D/P, it's always been about uploading your team into glorious 3-D and battling, and again, it doesn't need a story mode, this isn't a story, it's about battling and having fun, Colosseum was a failure because it was going to be like stadium but Nintendo got crazy and decided to slap a story mode and ruin the whole game with it, this game is exactly like the title says!:susp:

Sorry but I am going to go ahead and disagree here. Stadium I could not upload my games because I didn't want to pay for the add on but I still had lots of fun as I could choose whatever pokemon I wanted to battle with from the get go and the minigames where a nice side distraction. Second story mode is better then just this as their is a story to keep things somewhat interesting. It also was a good step forward as Nintendo was finally getting the fact we wanted a 3D Pokemon RPG, although even I admit this is still not exactly what we wanted, and the great thing about colloseum was it brought back gold and silver pokemon that you couldn't catch at that point. At least they could have put both story and a colloseum, on two disks if they must, for whoever wanted both. THAT would have been worth 50, maybe even 60 bucks.

You maybe right that it is like the title says but Nintendo could have easily done so much better then they did. Like I said before when the pokemon gets downed it shouldn't go back to its spot and then fall back down, It should just fall down right after the attack. Second, as I said before, the idea of attacks effecting the battelfield was a great idea but Nintendo dumped it probably just to shove the game in our face sooner. Now personally I would have liked to see pokemon actually dodge attacks anime style. Someone noted how in Final fantasy they just stand their and take the attacks, but what he failed to mention was that a character in X actually moved out of the attacks way when the attack missed so Nintendo could have just had the pokemon move to the side or step back at least instead of not even having the pokemon launching an attack. Also Some attacks could have been done much better. For instance Volt tackle looks so puny in PBR. It looks like tackle with a few sparks behind it. It should have looked like how its done in the anime where its totally enveloped in electricity.

Finally Nintendo needs to cut their kiddy online crud and focus on making online itself better. What it needs is tournaments, leaderboards, and rooms for each colloseum where you can pick your opponent ahead of time, as long as they agree of course. That would be great for avoiding uber abusers. So Its not so much the fact that the game itself was horrible but the fact of what Nintendo had the potential to do and completly ignored it. Congrats to anyone who reads this all and thanks for paying attention.

Well, I agree with you I guess, dodging should be in the game, and yea, walking back to a spot to die is kinda lame, and your online idea would be awesome.

P.S. Also, didn't stadium come with the uploader?

I think if you bought it new it did but I bought it used at game stop so I didn't get one with it.

Edit: Yeah I just it looked it up and it did come with it in the box.
