Okay, having seen the video:
-Interesting that they use the FR/LG characters. Kind of gives me hope that even if they don't introduce character creation (which they should), maybe in the future they'll at least give you the option of several different characters in the handheld games. Or maybe just in the console games--because unless there's something we don't know, it's not like you can link up your FR/LG trainers to a Wii game. (Maybe you could upload your FR/LG trainers to the DS game, and then from there to Wii?)
-Finally, the trainers point to make their commands, like in the show.
I'm almost giddy to see this, honestly. It's a small touch, but small touches are what make a lot of games.
-Pikachu's Quick Attack (presumably) had a connecting animation. That was a common complain for the Stadium games, Colosseum, and XD, so... good for them for finding a way around it. They need to keep advancing the technology in future entries, though, so that (for example) the Pokemon actually move around the battlefield as opposed to always returning to their standard positions. Hey, if Chrono Trigger could do it at times...
-And I agree about the graphics looking really good.

Ok, this looks leaps beyond colosseum in every way. This looks CGIish. If Wii can produce this level graphics Ill be more than happy. Just thinking on other franchices that can benefit from this graphical leap. F-zero comes to mind =]
F-Zero GX with these graphics would be amazing. Add in Wi-Fi (and find a way to fix snaking) and it gets better yet...
