This means that rumor from a few weeks back was a little off but got the basics right.

Pokemon transferred through the wiimote... glad they decided to use this feature some more.
I hope the Wiimote 2 has a micro SD card slot so you can take your Mii and all your attached saved games (and pokemon) to a friends house too.

But anyway, the rumor was about a new Pokemon Colosseum that traded pokemon with the new DS versions.
The "what" was kinda right, but the "how" was pretty far off.

edit: Was this game at E3 in any shape or form? seems weird for a game coming out this month to not get a mention at E3 or the Post E3 JPN conference.

This is a WiiWare game. Nintendo NEVER promotes those much if at all at conferences.

My sister will be excited about this. I wonder how it it will play. Will it have a Smash Brothers feel?

am i the only one who skimmed thru the talkback section and read this thread title as "ransom pokemon" and thought this was a whoooole new level of "trading" your pokemon? lol

"if you ever wanna see your beloved pikachu again, you need to trade me 5 mews!"

I find turn-based battles to be boring so I might watch this and see how it turns out. It could be interesting.

Nintendo Life compared it to Smash TV.

I actually own that game but I've never played it. Maybe I should check it out so I know what to expect from this.
