I don't think it's too far fetched (no pun intended) to say Pokemon Battle Revolution wasn't what the developers originally intended as their final product. Quite frankly, it looks rushed and it seems like more stuff was supposed to be in the game. If you look at the graphics you can see that some, but not all, of the old Stadium 2 models have been greatly enhanced. The best example would be to compare Dragonite to Slowbro. The former has been smoothed out and the colors brightened, while the latter appears like it came right out the N64. It seems as if they just didn't have time to fix all the Pokemon. When it comes to game play, I simply don't buy that the developers at Genius Sonority planned for battling to be the only part of the game. It just doesn't make sense to me that they didn't try to use the new controller for any mini games. Also the Wii's graphics would make the in-game characters, such as gym leaders for gym leader castle, look great in 3D. My theory is that the game was rushed in order to come out as close to the Wii's release date as possible.
Or perhaps I'm giving Genius Sonority too much credit. Maybe they did just sit around and decide to put the bare minimum into their product. A few posters have mentioned more or less, "People still buy it anyway". Maybe this is what they were thinking.
Do you agree that this game was rushed, or do you think the developers just didn't put full effort into their product? Or is PBR the result of a low budget or other issues? There's no debating that is game isn't all it could have been. Please, I'd like to read your thoughts on this.
