Pokémon Battle Revolution is the first Wii incarnation of the Pokémon video game franchise. It is also the first Wii game to use the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection in North America and Japan and the first Wii game to wirelessly interact with the Nintendo DS handheld.

Emulation Information

Shut Down

This game's online functionality has been shut down as of May 20, 2014 and works in neither Dolphin or on Wii hardware.

DS Connection Support

While Dolphin does emulate the IOS modules for broadcasting and connecting to the Nintendo DS, there is no infrastructure to actually connect to any emulator or hardware unit.

Problems

Glitched Trainer Card Images

If Store EFB Copies to Texture Only is enabled, all Trainer images on Rental passes will not show correctly and show a garbled mess instead. Turning off Store EFB Copies to Texture only will fix this and show them properly.

Missing trainer image

Shifted Image

Using moves that have visual effects "on the camera" (e.g. Sunny Day or Muddy Water) cause the screen to shift up and to the left. Refer issue 11875. Fixed by 5.0-15680.

Shifted image

Illegible Text

Text in game is not legible. This can be corrected by enabling Safe Texture Cache. Refer issue 10705. Fixed since prior to 5.0-13334.

Enhancements

Fix Black Screen Effects

Visual effects that apply directly to the screen/camera will result in blackness when the effect is near the bottom or right of the screen. This happens on real hardware and is not an emulation issue; refer issue 12629. Since 5.0-15680, a game patch is available for the US release of the game to fix this behavior; since 5.0-15761, game patches are available for all other regions and revisions.

Black screen effects near the bottom and right

Fixed with game patch

Remove Bloom Effect AR Code

Bloom in this title causes a double-vision effect at high internal resolutions. These Action Replay codes will remove bloom.
