Felynes play a big role in Monster Hunter 4. As explained in Famitsu, two companions will join players on their adventures, one of which is customizable. You’ll be able to choose from different eyes, ears, and fur.
A sub Felyne will accompany users during quests. These creatures can change the type of union attack that is executed. Also of note: Felynes are capable of clinging to enemies, holding them in place or taking them out of the air.
Along with the Felyne details, Famitsu has a first look at a few new monsters. Rathian, a fire-breathing female, Gendrome, and Congalala are revealed in the magazine.
Pokemon Company on why there isn’t a Wii U version of Pokemon X/Y, lack of console Pokemon

In an interview with Game Informer, Pokemon Company director of consumer marketing J.C. Smith commented on why there isn’t a Wii U version of Pokemon X/Y.
Admittedly, the response is predictable. Smith mentioned that Game Freak tends to prefer portables as a result of the communication and trading aspects, and because you can take them with you.
“I can’t speak to the specifics, but traditionally Game Freak has always loved the game to be on a portable device because of the communication, trading, and the experience of taking this adventure with you. That’s why they’ve always prioritized a portable version of the game first. They’ve always liked what you can do in the real world with that.”
Speaking more broadly, Smith discussed the lack of real Pokemon titles on console:
“It comes down to what the creators want to do. Every time I’ve heard them talk about it, it’s been about the portable experience, taking the adventure with you, being able to share it with friends, communicate, trade, battle – really encouraging that interaction.”
