The game was first announced by Nintendo president Satoru Iwata at a Nintendo marketing event in Japan on June 7, 2006. At the event, Iwata described Wii-to-DS connectivity using the game as an example, stating that gamers with either Pokémon Diamond or Pearl can play battles using their Diamond or Pearl Pokémon in Pokémon Battle Revolution using their DS as a controller.
In one of this game's first pre-release videos, it was revealed that one's Pokémon's attacks would affect the landscape of the colosseum. However, for unknown reasons, this feature was not seen in the final version of the game.
The DS linkup feature was accessible at 2006 Nintendo World Tour for the first time. As well as allowing Pokémon from a Pokémon Diamond or Pearl cartridge to be used in-game, it replaces the on-screen battle menu, normally used in conjunction with the Wii Remote. The GameCube controller is not compatible with this game. The battle menu is displayed on the DS touchscreen instead, and it is navigated with the stylus. Up to eight players can play in a 1 on 1 tournament much like the Battle Frontier Battle Dome in Pokémon Emerald.
