Smash Wii U Do Pokemon come unlocked on the Wii U version? If not, how do you unlock them?

[Frenzy]

On the 3DS you had to do certain challenges to get all the pokeball/master ball options unlocked.

Are they all pre-unlocked on the Wii U?

If not, how do you unlock them, I can't find it on google . . .

There is no unlocking of pokemon on the Wii U.
It's light on unlocks in general. Sakurai was even considering leaving everyone unlocked but relented to appeal to fans of the CHALLENGER APPROACHING sections where you fight a new character to unlock them.

He's talking about the Pokémon in the Pokéballs, not playable characters. As for that, yes, some Pokémon must be unlocked but I can't remember which and how to unlock them.
