Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness is a new gamecube game coming out on Oct. 5. The story is about a new Pokemon, Dark Lugia. The Hero has the snag machine just like the first one. No the Hero isn't the same guy. The last thing I know that you start with a Level 5 Eevee. I'll tell you more if can find more info.

Let's hope it doesn't really, really suck, and that the Multiplayer mode is more like on the original Stadiums, not an impossible-to-use-and-play version like on Colluseum.

Heh, the title of this Pokémon game is funny... seems Ninty ran out the names of colors and gems, now they use smileys.  (well, I know "XD" stands for "Xtra Dimension", not for the smiley, don't kill me ... ) Info ball: (IGN.com) E3 2005: Pokemon XD | A True Pokémon RPG?
by Juan Castro
May 20, 2005 - Actually playing Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness at E3 is somewhat of a time-consuming affair. Claiming one of the largest chunks of real estate at Nintendo's Booth, Pokemon XD drew scores of show goers throughout the entire show. It's not just the game people showed up to see, but to score four free pokemon dolls courtesy of Nintendo. Nintendo employed an excellent strategy here. The masses can't resist free stuff, especially when it's cute and doubles as a pillow.
Once past the mass of freeloaders, we found several kiosks playing Pokemon XD. We restarted the demo and took it for a spin. To start, Pokemon XD looks very much like Pokemon Coliseum on the GameCube. They both use similar color-schemes, texture work and design, plus combat unfolds in much the same way also. Nintendo has emphasized that Pokemon XD marks the first true Pokemon RPG for the GameCube, so apart from the similarities listed above, it's actually different from previous efforts.
In terms of story, Pokemon XD sounds decidedly simple, much like other titles in the series. Turns out the XD in the title stands for extra dimension, as the game takes place in a whole new universe from the other Pokemon titles. In this universe, creatures known as shadow Pokemon roam around just waiting to be captured. The actual demo starts in some sort of futuristic temple, where two scientists (or professors) give players orders to investigate the surrounding ruins. Looks as though this funky facility was once used as a battleground where criminals would fight with shadow Pokemon. These shadow pokemon have had their hearts locked through some mysterious, artificial process.
It's not long before a human boasting several excess layers of muscle tissue assaults players. In Pokemon XD, each fighter enters battle with two Pokemon, with much of the pre-battle arrangements being similar to that previous Poke-titles. The first fighter called on Pikachu and Zubat. Before the fight began, the protagonist uses a scanner on the two enemy pokemon and discovers Pikachu is a shadow pokemon. Players won't be able to tell whether a pokemon is shadow class just from looking at them, since they look the same as normal pokemon; you need to scan them and discover a shadow "aura" first.
Shadow Pokemon won't attack using their normal abilities, but shadow-powered ones instead. So in the first battle, Pikachu didn't used his regular electric attacks but shadow moves, instead. After defeating the enemy and capturing the shadow pokemon, it's then possible to move into the odd facility and keep exploring.
All in all, Pokemon XD looks to deliver something unique, at least as far as Pokemon on GameCube is concerned. Unfortunately, not much of the game was playable, but what was available grants a pretty good indication of how the title will end.Well, here are some video about that game: media.cube.ign.com/media/716/716652/vids_1.htmlThose are fresh and all... |

Good Idea. In Colleseum, You only catch certain Pokemon. And If you didn't catch it the first time, that's it. You should catch wild pokemon. And Not only that start with a starter pokemon you chose. I mean having a Espeon and Umbreon over Lv. 20 is not the best idea.
Hopefully, there might be a game based on the GB and GBA series.
Edit: I heard the game will be played with Wild Pokemon this time.

I've read some stuff about Pokemon XD, well it does have some features:
1. You have a Eevee. It can evovle into the 5 evolutions. Choose wisely.
2. Trainers might have 2 Shadow Pokemon out at the same time. Be Careful.
3. You can hook up a Gameboy Advance game, and play people on the game, like a trainer or anyone else. (don't know about Rival...)
I'll Edit this if I find out more stuff.

MIROR B.?! That guy's FUNNY!!!!
Could this mean that the other Cipher guys(Dakim, Venus, Ein, Nascour, Evice) are there too?
Tellthetruth, I didn't think that Tyranitar would be the ultimate Shadow Pokémon in Colosseum. I mean, a powerful Water/Grass/Fighting/whatever move could take it down easily. Or you could use the Master Ball+Infinite PokéBall glitch.

Well, the game is coming out tomorrow, anyone by any chance going to play it? I would, but, I'm saving most of my money to get Paint Shop Pro 9.
Well, it Better! Most of the Pokemon are from all areas. I wonder if you can catch the legendary dogs and birds, I want a Entei! I couldn't catch him in Colosseum no matter what I do! 10 Pokeballs gone because of him. Oh, if you play it, which Pokemon you want your Eevee to evolve into?
*Joins Lava and dances to Miror B.'s music.*
