CAN WE GO HOME NOW?
Welcome to the sun-drenched tropical paradise of Pokétopia. We're so please that you could come and join us. Come experience the natural wonderland where trainers gather from around the world to do battle. Of course, it's probably best if you don't explore the island. Please stick to the designated Colosseums for the safety of you and your Pokémon. Pokétopia is a laid back island, so you're on vacation, you won't find any exciting stories told here. Besides, you're on vacation; you don't want to be bothered with too much excitement. Pokétopia is about relaxing to the thrill of near near unending Pokémon trainer battle after Pokémon trainer battle.
Feel free to make use of our state-of-the-art Wi-Fi connection in every room,as this is the first Nintendo vacation resort where you will be able o play against other people online. And don't Forget to bring your Nintendo DS with you on your island getaway. Not only because you will have to use rental Pokémon if you don't import your critters from diamond or Pearl, but because you will also want a good game play when you get bored at Pokétopia.
Sure, Pokétopia might sound a lot like the trip you took in Pokémon Stadium 1 & 2 or that weekend at Pokémon Colosseum. That's because this is the same trip, we've just repainted the signs and moved to a different system. But just listen to what GI Travel Magazine said about our beautiful resort, "Pokétopia is one to take. if I hadn't been paid to go, I would have punched my travel agent."- BEN

Bottom Line 5.75 out of 10
----------------
Second Opinion:
The primary reason anyone will be playing PBR is to see their stable of Pokémon that they've been leveling up all summer in Diamond/Pearl battle it out in full 3D. On this very base level, the game gets it done. Local DS connectivity battles and online fights are quick and fun diversion, but they quickly lose their luster (especially since the DS Pokémon games already facilitate these modes). For those who don't have a DS and diamond/Pearl, PBR is an empty shell of the game full of endless dry Colosseum battles and little to work for outside of the trainer accessories. but even Pokémon die hards will find little to keep them interested once they get past the glossy presentation.-BRYAN
