Pokémon Wii animations look better than modern games after 17 years

Pokémon Battle Revolution, developed by Genius Sorority, may not have been a standout game overall, but it did excel in capturing the essence of every Pokémon. Released in 2007 as Pokémon’s debut on the Wii console, it primarily served as an extension of the DS games Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. While lacking in story content, Battle Revolution offered detailed combat animations, making battles more visually engaging.

The game’s cover art for volume 28 of One Punch Man has been revealed by Shueisha, the series’ publishing company. Scheduled for release on June 2, 2023, the cover art showcases an unlikely coalition of two characters: Genos and Tatsumaki.

With the absence of substantial gameplay elements, Battle Revolution dedicated extensive effort to animating each Pokémon in its simulated battles. Supporting all Pokémon from the first four generations, the game’s focus on battles allowed for a meticulous portrayal of nearly 500 unique monsters.

Notable examples of this attention to detail can be seen in the fainting animations. Unlike previous games that simply made sprites disappear upon a Pokémon’s defeat, Battle Revolution introduced original animations for each Pokémon when they faint. From dramatic gestures to theatrical movements, these animations added depth and personality to the creatures.

Battle Revolution’s animations stand out even when compared to modern 3D Pokémon games. Unlike newer titles where attacks occur within designated spots on the battlefield, Battle Revolution allowed Pokémon to visibly make contact during battles. Physical attacks were animated with Pokémon physically approaching their target, creating a more immersive experience.

Although Battle Revolution’s lack of features and content contributed to its extensive animation work, the game has found renewed attention in discussions surrounding Pokémon animation quality. While some fans criticized recent games for their reduced number of Pokémon and alleged inferior animations, Battle Revolution serves as a reminder of the level of detail and care that can be achieved.

While it is unlikely that future mainline Pokémon games will reach the same level of animation quality as Battle Revolution, due to the complexity of developing expansive worlds and RPG systems, reflecting on the accomplishments of Genius Sorority’s work on the Wii game ignites imagination for the possibilities that lie ahead.
