Sorry if this isn't the right place, but a friend of mine was finally able to get a Wii (long story) and realized that he just can't get the Pokémon experience he wants unless he also gets a DS. So this lead to two questions:
1) Can the DS and the Wii communicate without any add-ons or requiring an internet connection when dealing with compatible Wii and DS game? Or does one need an actual internet connection to go through?
2) What Wii and/or GCN Pokémon games would people suggest for someone looking for something closer to the handheld experience? My friend got one Wii game already (don't recall the title), but it is pretty lame because he is stuck with just rental Pokémon. I am not worried about connectivity between the Wii and anything else for GCN games, though controller options (standard, Wavebird, etc.) might be worth mentioning.
Right now, my friend is debating trying to find a really cheap DS so that he can get himself either a Gen IV or Gen V game in the hopes of being able to transfer a team to the Wii game (and obviously enjoy the handheld adventure as well).
