Pokémon Battrio is an arcade game released in Japan in 2007. Other than when it was first announced, we have barely touched upon it as it seemed to be forgotten by almost all. Occassionally, I got e-mails regarding it and so a few weeks ago, I decided I would create a section based upon it. With thanks to Zynm for assisting in translations, this section gives the basic mechanics of the gameplay, which features a 3 on 3 Pokémon Battle, to show the uniqueness of this game as well as the details of the collectable disks utilised for the game. It also contains a comprehensive BattrioDex, which shows all the Pokémon whom have been released as part of Battrio. In addition to that, we have complete set listings of all nine of the released sets as well as promotional sets.
