The Pokemon are teleported to the Prof. Oak/Elm/etc. lab via PC. The TV show explains where they are, which is roaming the areas around the Lab built for domesticated Pokemon. The game only gives you instant access to them, because it's a game.
If they implemented the waiting time for Pokemon to be transfered to you via PC, it would take upwards of 10-20 minutes to prepare sending the Pokemon.
While inside the Pokeball, I think @SanderEvers shows what happens inside. That means they would be able to program the ideal environment digitally. Since the Pokemon become digital themselves, they can interact with digital environments as well, which would include programable food items and such.

It doesn't matter. PS fans will ignore Wii U, because it's 'not powerful', and will ignore Xbox One, because the name(seriously?).
WTF? Why are people judging these things so early on?

Guys, the Wii U is still developing. It would be naive to be judging the console this soon, and over what? A touch pad, neglected Move controllers, last gen Kinect called the PS camera, and Vita is the $250 extra screen? The only thing PS4 will have is better graphics right off the bat, but even Xbox One should be able to match or pass it up.
Xbox One has a new Kinect, better controller(than PS4), and will have tons of features that PS4 has already failed to show.
Nintendo hasn't even tried to make their console appealing, so it's no wonder lots of people don't like it. That's not a bad thing, either. The summer update will come in summer(duh), and games like Pikmin amd Wonderful101 will be out in August. Not to mention E3 demos are going to be playable at select Best Buy stores.
In conclusion, as far as Wii U goes, it hasn't done s*** yet, because Nintendo is preparing the console still, PS4 is Xbox One minus Kinect minus Wii U GamePad, and Xbox One really hasn't shown anything either.
Are people really going to judge these devices off of one hoir of info that was supposed to msinly show you as little as possible? Look at the potential, not what's in front of your eyes. You're gonna be disappointed if you don't think past the obvious.

I have the video up on screen, while on Nintendo Life on the GamePad. I plan on getting this, because it will most likely be more interesting than PS4 for me.

Haha. That video on the site describes Kickstater entirely, at least when it comes to funding video games...
I didn't really like the interviews, but it was nice hearing Wario talk I suppose.

Nintendo will be fine. They're not even trying yet.

@shrew
It was deliberate. It would have been a waste of time to combine the DSi and Wii accounts, and DS didn't even download anything at all. As for 3DS and Wii, 3DS is still current gen, while Wii is not. These systems either have no compatible software, or have incompatible hardware.
Those limitations and incompatibilities are no longer an issue. Obviously, Wii U and 3DS will still get different games, but VC and cross-play games don't seem that out of the question anymore.

@MANIAC911
Actually. I'm not as concerned about it as I was an hour or so ago. This will keep Microsoft and Sony catering to last gen. Wii U will actually benefit from having last gen consoles still being relevant.
As for the mobile market, Miyamoto already clarified that competition from mobile games helps Wii U.
Looks like all these other devices selling well actually makes Wii U more relevant, so ya, we don't have anything to worry about afterall.

I think the title of the article should be titled:
'FIFA 14 is Skipping Wii U Because of "Disappointing" FIFA 12 Sales'
You haven't made a good game since 2007, EA. Maybe it's better if FIFA 13 doesn't come out this year.

@Midnight3DS
Ya, people don't care to be as up to date technically and practical as me. I can understand that

The problem I don't think people realize when it comes to account systems, is that Wii and DS weren't setup to be able to do that. Yes, Wii and DS would have been the systems with accounts, but it wouldn't work. We already know this would not have been possible.
Go forward 7 years. 3DS and Wii U ARE capable of an account system. I'm pretty confident they will be allowing account possibilities across their platforms this time around.
Also, Xbox 360's account isn't as complicated to apply as a Nintendo one would be with 2 systems.
Lastly, you don't need to use a network AS MUCH to do so. All you should literally have to do is verify it once, then locally verify other devices. Once the devices are verified LOCALLY, THEN you can manage you account for the said device online.
I agree, accounts are standard for the most part, but it wouldn't have been possible any time prior. Believe me. People are already able to transfer their Wii account to Wii U. IT HAS TO BE DONE LOCALLY with internet to verify. The difference is sharing content, not transferring.

@Midnight3DS
Ya, I know about the big game libraries they have. My point is that they won't be getting any more games than what they have established soon. Besides, you get a Wii menu with Wii U(which costs them almost nothing to include), so that carries the Wii library with it.
Wii U will be relevant LONG after Xbox 360/PS3. Those consoles have been over priced for a while now, and we all know it. Couple that with a shorter future, and they aren't worth it anymore.

I think their should only be one account, then share locally from the Nintendo devices to authorize the account. Xbox 360 only allows one console to be authorized, but Nintendo has handhelds, and I doubt they want people be able to give out info over the internet, so that's where local authorization comes in.
All you need is ONE account, then share that account locally after verifying the account once.
I understand the concerns about Nintendo's account system, but honestly, if you know how to handle Nintendo's customer service and repair protocol, it isn't much of an issue any how, unless you lose(someone steals) the consoles

When people see that Wii U will still cost $300-350 w/ a game, Deluxe Digital Promotion, etc. things people would want the Wii U for, and the console they bought less than a year ago aren't getting as much attention as the new devices(and probably get a price drop to $180-200), that's when they'll realize the mistake of buying old consoles that are over priced over a face value priced console(Wii U) that will still be getting games. I'd honestly rather see at least half of the Xbox 360 and PS3 sales at least converted into Xbox∞ or PS4 sales. The sales don't even have to convert to Wii U sales. I'm just astounded that anyone would buy older consoles at that price so late in their like cycles...
I guess GameStop or other used game stores will be getting LOTS of used game sales in the coming generation since everyone already blew their money on last gen consoles.

Plus, Microsoft and Sony are over charging for their 7-8 year old consoles. Xbox 360 has costed the same this entire generation, while still collecting Xbox Live subscription money.
PS3 phat had Other OS and PS2 BC ripped away from it which people paid for back in 2006.
These consoles haven't had a price drop for 3 or more years, so why would people be asking for a price drop for Wii U, when it costs $350 at no profit, and is a new thing?
People are stupid as f***.

The only part I don't understand is why people are buying PS3 and Xbox 360 consoles, when there's new consoles coming out sooner than later now, and Wii U is already available.
I see people asking about device relevance all the time, and it doesn't make sense that people would be buying an older device over a new one. Personally, I haven't bought any Xbox 360 or PS3 things, because I'm waiting until the next consoles to come out before I buy anything.
Nintendo is working things out. The 'now' argument doesn't work. Why haven't people that know about Wii U gotten over the slow releases, and just wait for the announced games we know about? We know they're coming.
Nintendo isn't stupid. They'll advertise their consoles, get more support, and get games/features on the console in due time. Why don't people understand that Xbox 360 and PS3 are done? Move on.

This most likely would have replaced Nintendo Land as a pack in game if that were to have happened. I think it will do well. The price point and features make it pretty worth while for some mini-game arcade type games that you can play and have fun with by yourself for a while, and will be fun with others like Nintendo Land.

Great. I hope it's a 3D Sonic that plays like DK 64 or something...

@SanderEvers
Ya, N-Gage basically sums up why it would spell FAIL.

Nintendo doesn't want 3 or 4G for one of their main devices. It's an extra fee people don't want to pay to play games.
I actually got rid of my iPad 2 for a 3DS a year and half or so ago. All I used it for was games and internet, so I figured I might as well get an actual gaming device.
I can only imagine how PS Vita feels. I has hardly any games, and 3G is only for games. You can't even use a PS Vita as a phone as long as Sony has control of its device.
3G isn't even as reliable as 4G(LTE), and it's expensive.

I'm gonna be honest. I liked Mirror's Edge and Dead Space, but not since then which was like 2007 or 8(can't remember). Occasionally Madden with other people, but I can't stand the every year crap of the same franchise most of the time.
Make something new, get an engine that takes advantage of the Wii U to work, and make freaking games.

Maybe EA is figuring out how to be a better company. We already know they can create last gen games on Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii.
When they realized their engine couldn't run on Wii U because it was out of date, my guess is EA panicked about next gen all together, not just Wii U.

Good week. I downloaded Super Metroid yesterday, and I have Super Mario World, so I'm getting Super Mario Bros. 2 with the discount. My menu is getting filled with VC games already... arguably WAY faster than Wii with these deals. Maybe my bro will want Harvest Moon.

This doesn't mean anything for most of us. It could mean alot of things, but I understand why they did this.

The Eevee 3DS is so awesome, that you win by buying it. That's awesome. Haha. Geez... It's not really a bad thing. I mean, a 3DS XL is a 3DS XL no matter what color it is.

@HeatBombastic
Actually, money wasn't the ex Sony guys ONLY intention. That's definately part of it, but he truly wanted his 3D display/CPU combo applied to a consumer product. Sony obviously ruled out the idea of a 3D device, which is why he went to Nintendo.
This case on the other hand, never had any intent of ever making it to the market according to the ruling. There probably STILL isn't a product from this company actually showing interest in entering the market, which they obviously would have done by this point.

This game will be fun for many, but Capcom most likely ditched Wii U only options to cut back dev time and sell it before Nintendo warps everyone's minds with their games or whatever.

@WaveBoy
From what I saw from the demo, all the GamePad is used for is what you just described as a non-want. Map and inventory. You don't even use the scanner with the GamePad.

I think the demo shows what it needs to. I still don't like how they decided to use more of an animation for opening doors. That's what 4 and 5 did right. It's a pretty good game, but 4 and the REmake of 1 for GCN will always be the best.

I'm downloading in in the mid west. It's 12 a.m. here. It said that the Wii U was connected to a 3DS when I went to check download status, which obviously isn't the case.
It should be downloaded in 5 min.

PS4 is doomed(probably).

Wow.

@Sun
Details.

3DS is legit. If you were to have time travelled from 3DS launch to today, I can guarantee you'd be trippin'.
PS Vita can't measure up in it's current state game wise, no matter how much more powerful it is.
I completely agree that it is the most relevant handheld gaming machine around right now.

@Intrepid
Exactly. Most of them are taking advantage of people that actually think it's for a good cause. Anyone that has donated over $20 for anything besides publishing fees has been ripped off. No kickstarter goal should be over $10,000 and have a limited donation of $5 or less.

All in all, Kickstarter is a scam. I would only be willing to donate for publishing fees.
If it's for actual development, I might as well develop some stuff myself.
You can apply this idea to yourself. I'm not gonna help someone out that doesn't need it.

@Captain_Balko
I understand if they actually need money to pay for the time they are using as a substitute for having a job, but if the game is already made, then $100,000 is way out of the question.
I see that C-Wars was scaling their funding project on 'what ifs' if they reached a certain ammount of funds, or how much wouldn't end up being DLC. This is more understandable, but I personally wouldn't be asking for money besides the publishing fee if I were to ever make a game.
I understand there are more variables than a publishing fee in some cases, but lots of people who have funded a kickstarter most likely could have bought a Wii U devkit themselves, finished a game, THEN ask for $10,000 for publishing fees.
My point was that there are easier ways to get a product out there besides asking for tons of money. I would consider the kickstarter campaigns a pyramid scheme based on how much product you get, vs. money like the usual pyramid schemes we all know and hate.

Publishing on other platforms, I have no idea. The idea is to have enough to publish, not fund the entire project, pay for their college, give them a year or more worth of funds.

Ya, I just checked the site. It's completely unnecessary. It costs $1100 about including tax for a Nintendo devkit, and $10,000 about to publish a title. That totals $11,100 to publidh on the eShop, along with the other requirements.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but Kickstarter is a ripoff by 1000% if you are only aiming to get the title on Wii U, and it seems that's not happening anyway.

What all goes into publishing a title, though? I would imagine it only costs as much as Nintendo charges to put the game on the eShop, which would be $10,000.
Maybe a publisher would try to pick up a project like Cloudberry, but if a game is done, it shouldn't cost more than 10 grand.

I'm getting it. I didn't have it on Wii VC. I even have a $5 promo card to get it for free.

@Rafie
I've had good experiences with PS, but it has never been enough for me to want PS more than a Nintendo or Xbox.
People like PS. No problem, but the people calling people fanboys are usually fanboys of something themselves. It's unnecessary to say the least to call soneone a fanboy when all is said and done.

Anyone that called anyone a fanboy in this comment section has no relevance to the discussion.
I honestly don't like Insomniac games, that goes for any console their on.
As for graphics, do your research people. Wii U isn't as weak as you think.

Imagination is just as important when being told a good story.
If you don't have an imagination, no story will ever get through to you.

@ToxieDogg
I genuinely don't like their games, though.
It's not like I dislike them because they are Sony, at least as far as I can tell, considering they aren't with Sony anymore.

Maybe I would care if the Ratchet & Clank games were fun. I've played 2 of them, and they bore me to tears. Maybe they'll be better w/o Sony, but their track record with Sony is trash.

Guys. Xbox 360 and PS3 can read up to 3.2 and 4.0GH respectively on some functions they perform.
This wouldn't be hard to believe at all. Once they update it in summer, the clockrate will probably rise again.
I honestly had already thought they pushed the console harder by pushing more computation. I haven't really noticed any software running better, but the OS has definitely picked up.
If the Wii U isn't even loading games as fast as it can in game, that means the Wii U isn't even trying yet.

There's sales today, too. Assassin's Creed 3 is $39.99, and Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage 2 is $49.99.
Also, they announced Super Mario Bros 2.(NES) for VC. May 15th.

I don't think it's always a rip-off. They started working on the NSMB.U DLC(Luigi U) after the game came out. It wasn't finished before the game came out.
The only rip-off DLC I've ever seen is Mass Effect day one DLC. If the DLC is started after the original game's release, or legitimatly not a required extra. I can see that being justified DLC.
As for false advertisement on DLC. COD cleared that up by releasing a camo pack. A crappy move, but it clears false advertisement claims.
