Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness GameCube

Another time to snag the Shadow Pokemon!

By Itachi BlueStorm  Oct 29, 2006

Pros: More shadow Pokemon and regular wild ones too!, plus a quick 2-player battle with controllers, and 2 new events

Cons: Purifying Dark Lugia just makes it an old regular Lugia, still no way of choosing your Pokemon for 2-players without a GBA

This is a sequel to Colosseum, and there were lots of changes from Colosseum that were on this one, graphics, more Pokemon to snag as shadow Pokemon, and also, Pokespots! Pokespots had a selection of wild Pokemon that appear such as Sandshrew, Zubat,... Aron, and many others. Plus new features like the Battle Bingo and Battle CDs. Also, the quick battle has a 2 player section now, meaning using CONTROLLERS,also you can use legendaries if you pick Ultimate mode, but still, it would be nice to choose your Pokemon like the Stadium games without the use of a GBA and a GBA Pokemon RPG. Also another flaw, is about Dark Lugia, if you already gotten Lugia off FR/LG or with an AR, it's not neccessary to purify it, because if you do, it will just be a regular Lugia, it's Dark version will be erased for good. Other than those flaws, Pokemon XD is one good game to get your hands on. I recommend it. Read more Less
