POKEMON XD IS THE BEST

I mean i've played this awesome game before and it was one of the best video games i've ever played. I'm one of the biggest pokemon fans ever and really thought this game would be exactly like Pokemon Colosseum but I was totally wrong what I think is that the game needs no improvements except that sometimes you get stuck into walls and all you can do is reset the game. But overall this game is one of the best videogames ever.
Here's what my team on there is:Flareon,Ursaring,Shiftry,Aggron,Ampharos,and Tyranitar. My pokemon rock and I'll bet all yours do too. I recommend this game because of it's awesome graphics, it's sweet pokemon you can collect,and how it displays.

I got ripped off

I really enjoyed the gameboy pokemon games. I never bought stadium or collosium though, because I liked pokemon for its RPG elements and catching all the pokemon. When I heard that nintendo was bringing Pokemon to GameCube as an actual RPG I was very excited. This game is not a full pokemon RPG; it's nothing more than Stadium/Collosium with a few basic RPG elements thrown in. I'm very disappointed in nintendo, not just for their poor game, but for all but lying about what it was.

Great Game

This game is a sequel to Colosseum, and a much better sequel in my opinion. This time, there are wild Pokemon, but only 9 (stinks huh?) But I beat the game, Lugia, Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Tauros, Exeggutor and Rhydon in hand. This is a great game and you should buy it.

THIS IS THE BEST GAME EVER!!

If you have a emerald version and you finish the game, you will not regret what you bought!! The graphics are awsome, FULL 3D, and the storyline is very interesting, and it's espeacially cool when the hero uses the snag machine, to snag the shadow pokemon. In the end you get to catch a shadow lugia!!! And if you have a gamecube/gameboy cable, you can transfer the lugia (when you make it good or purifie it) to you GBA pokemon games!! This game is an excellent choice for pokemon fans!!

Great game!

Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness is the sequel to Pokemon Colosseum. It's almost the exact same game, but it seems like Nintendo just changed a few things and added some more stuff. So I'll start my introduction of this review with some pros and cons of this game.

+ Long Adventure (Around 40 - 50 hours)
+ Purification is easier
+ Good Background Music

- Uses the same old graphics as Pokemon Colosseum (Which means that there is no new improvement)
- Also uses a lot of places you have already seen in Pokemon Colosseum (Which almost means you're playing the same game again)
- You can only catch shadow pokemon
- Battles get annoying later in the game, because the battles take too long and the battles comes to frequently.

Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness has fairly good graphics. It's really good for the gamecube, but the graphics don't improve that much from Pokemon Colosseum. Actually the look quite similar and Pokemon Colosseum came quite a while ago. The background is bright and colorful and it's nice seeing the pokemon in 3-D and on the big screen. The pokemon also have nice animations for their attacks.

Some of the music in Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness is actually pretty catchy and it makes this pokemon game feel a lot better. Everything is in text, so there isn't any voice acting. Which is too bad and the pokemon make the grunting sounds. The background music is nice and goes with the mood of this game very well, but it won't stay on your mind for that long

The story mode is pretty long. (It took me forty hours to finish this game, while the reviews said twenty hours) You're a trainer who must save pokemon from the evil shadows. So you steal shadow pokemon from trainers and you raise them until they are free from the shadows. While doing that you get to fight the evil organization called Cipher and they plan to rule the pokemon world, unless you stop them. The pokemon battles are easy to understand and the battles are all in doubles. So you'll be sending out two pokemon at a time to battle the trainers.

The story, well I guess I just explained that to you already. Multiplayer is pretty fun if you get your friends to join in. You can battle your pokemon with each other and see who's stronger. The controls are fairly simple and you'll probably understand in the first hour of the game.

A pretty long game if you want to catch and purify all the pokemon, so have fun with it. The game is twenty hours long if you want to run through it, but it can take up to forty hours if you want to purify all your pokemon and be a good trainer and all that stuff.

Not so bad, in my opinion it's about the same as the original Pokemon Colosseum. If you're not sure about this game give it a rental before you purchase it. This game will last you for a while (mainly because of the long battles) and will have its ups and downs during some moments of the adventure.

Taken from my GameFAQs review.

Why? Why Nintendo? Why did you did it again?

I dont believe this they did it, AGAIN! This pokemon game is as worst as its predecesor, I mean, when we were back in the 2003 Nintendo announced a POKEMON RPG adventure for the cube, at first it was like WOW!!! I thought it was going to be like a gameboy game just that it was for the cube, this was a really good idea so I waited to the release date, the wait was finally over I got this game, I even remember saying: "At last Ive got it, good bye Pokemon Stadium" then I started playing, imagine my face when I realized you "steal" pokemon from other trainers and not in the open grass terrains, this didnt bother me it was like cool, but then this thing of the shadow pokemon and that I could only steal the ones were bad, so after that I got dissapointed, sold it to a little kid in no more than 2 months, and started playing pokemon stadium again.

Now one year later they get this one out and I say: "Didnt you learn anything in this year?" I mean the only difference I see is that the character has changed and obiously the story, but its still the same and again it has the crappy multiplayer system that lets you use only your pokemon from the GBA games, so what I mean is that what they should have done was to make it as the GBA games (you can capture WILD pokemon and pass through gyms) and to have done a Pokemon Stadium style multiplayer in which the game has all the pokemon from the series at your disposal.

So in all this game is a huge mistake done by Nintendo, I hope they realize this when the revolution is realeased, so if you like good RPGs dont buy this game, if you like the GBA and Pokemon Stadium games dont buy it, if you are a pokemon fan well is up to you, ah and one more thing, my little brother has this game so dont think I dont know what Im talking about.

A great Poke'mon game

My child found this game enjoyable and fun to play. I found the graphics a nice change from the DS and SP titles that have Pokemon games. I would recommend this game for people looking for a 'calm' game for their kids.
