Wii Version? #3

In a similar fashion to the GameCube version made to work with the Broadband adapter, is it possible for the Wii to emulate the game and access the online features still through WiFi.

Unless something like Visual Boy Advance GX for the Wii already somehow can connect to the WiFi board or whatever (I don't know a lot about this stuff), I assume the emulator would have to have that functionality added on.

Also, I assume the Pokecom Channel would have to be integrated into this hypothetical emulator as well in order to actually connect to the server(s).

I'm not sure I fully understand the question. The Gamecube, network adapter version works just like the Wii version. It is still just a channel (like the wii channel) where you play on a GBA that is plugged into the Gamecube.

I have a rough plan to enhance the networking code so connections can also go through a Mobile Adapter GB (if the user is connected to that rather than a GC port). If that ends up working it might allow for the connections to work just using just a GBA emulator which I can try and build for platforms like Wii.

However there's quite a lot of stuff I'd have to figure out to make that all work.
