Pokemon company explains why Pokemon X/Y is heading to 3DS instead of Wii U
A portion of a Game Informer interview with J.C. Smith, the director of consumer marketing for the Pokémon company international...
GI: Pokémon X and Y looks like it could be a good fit for console as well. Why not make a Wii U version?
JC: I can’t speak to the specifics, but traditionally Game Freak has always loved the game to be on a portable device because of the communication, trading, and the experience of taking this adventure with you. That’s why they’ve always prioritized a portable version of the game first. They’ve always liked what you can do in the real world with that.

I think the main reason they keep it portable is so kids take it to school with them to show off to friends.
Maybe a Pokemon U version is coming, but I doubt it.
The hardcore 1st gen nostalgiafags are losing their shit over the fact that it's 3d.
Also the starters are nuts: Grass-dark, water-fighting, fire-psychic.
That's what the japanese says on the starter info sheets
nice try
