When you begin the game, you start with a relatively weak Pok�mon. As such, you need to go through the wild levels. When you go through, you will be attacked by many Pok�mon. Using the two buttons (1 & 2 or B & A if using the nunchuck), you can release attacks upon the Pok�mon. The Pok�mon will then drop currency or other items which you can then use at the terminal in exchange for various things. Like the other modes, this mode can eventually be done in multiplayer. While playing this mode, you also have the ability to take photos at any time.

Sometimes, when you defeat a Pok�mon, their toy will remain on the ground. If you go and walk into them, you will collect their toy and that Pok�mon shall then be added into your arsenal. This is the only way you can collect Pok�mon to use. These Pok�mon can also be later exchanged for even stronger Pok�mon at the terminal

When you reach the end of the level, you will face a special Boss Pok�mon. These Pok�mon are much larger than the other Pok�mon you have fought and have a variety of powerful attacks. In order to finish the level, you will have to defeat the Pok�mon.
