    There are several modes to explore...

    Ferrum League - You take on the role of the main character, with aims to reach the pinnacle of the Ferrum League. As you win your way through, the number of support Pokémon available and the number of selectable stages increases.

    The Ferrum League is made up of four Leagues; Chroma, Red, Blue and Green. Each has a rank requirement for participation. You play League Matches to increase your rank and then the top eight trainers in the league compete in a tournament. You need to pass all that to get a rank promotion and continue to the next league.

    Single Battle - You can battle against a CPU player in a single fight.

    Practice Mode - You can train as much as you like without worrying about time limits or HP. In addition to a Tutorial there is Free Training where you can set your own rules for a practice battle. The Action Dojo allows you to practice moves for each Pokémon and the Combo Dojo introduces powerful combos for each Pokémon and lets you try them out.

    Local Battle - Battle locally, either on one console with one player using the TV and the other the GamePad or with two Wii Us connected by a LAN cable.

    Online Battle - You can battle online either in Friendly Matches or Ranked Matches. In Ranked Matches you can earn rank points depending on your success and players compete to get the highest rank.

    What do you think? Will you play through the single player mode or go straight to battling with friends?

    I like the idea of taking on the League before anything else. I do wanna play online real bad but I wanna unlock as much as possible first!

    Once I beat the League though it's gonna be pretty much 100% online play for me.

    Yeah I'm pretty much the same, definitely going to need to practice a bit and want to unlock stuff as soon as possible so will play some single battles and hopefully beat at least the first rank in the league before going online. Gotta at least try out online on day one though, even if I don't know what I'm doing! I do hope the post comes early!
     
    Single player, then I'll probably get bored of the game and put it down. I'm very interested in the whole concept, but most people fighting online will probably be super competitive people who will wipe the floor with me. This is really why I don't play any multiplayer games online. I just want to play for fun.

    It would be nice though if there was some kind of co-op feature. Then I could at least play with my fiance against others. We prefer to work together than compete. But I doubt that'll be in there.
     
    It's a Pokemon game on the Wii U, I don't think everyone who plays online is going to secretly be a 5-time tournament champion...

    Don't worry, you can battle me, I have very little expectations of myself being any good!

    I know what you mean though, I get very nervous playing online.

    Co-op could be a neat feature actually. Perhaps one person controlling the fighter and the other controlling the support Pokemon?
