Nintendo announces Pokemon Battle Revolution for the Wii console in the United States.

Pokemon Battle Revolution is already on the market in Japan since December 2006.
This game release for the Nintendo Wii is interesting as it marks the first Wifi enabled game for the new console. It is also the first game that links the Wii with the Nintendo DS. You can also control the Wii with the DS.

There is still a bit of wait-time for Wii Pokeman fans, as the new Pokemon game is slated for a June 25th release. Right around the corner (April 9th) is though the first Mario game for the Wii: Super Paper Mario.
