hey guys can we please talk about pokemon XD

sure =)

>>381750868
Did anyone here actually "purify" every single dark Pokemon in the game to get Ho-Oh? I remember trying to do this after I beat the game when it came out, I remember coming to the realization it would've taken for ever, not sure if that's true though, never got best bird.

Ho-Oh > Lugia

>>381751908
I did it with emulator speed up and it was still a pain in the ass. Thankfully XD makes purifying shit much faster and more convenient.

>>381750868
I'm literally playing it right now. I wish animations/text were faster in general.

>>381750868

I played it back when it first released and it was pretty good. I remember being annoyed were pretty limited with what Pokemon you could actually catch though.

>>381750868
I forget this exists quite often.

Such a fucking anomaly.

>>381752185
>>381750868
pls shut up

>>381752415
This meme was never funny

Just fucking say Gale of Darkness instead of baiting for replies using the "XD" tag.

Goddamn.

>>381750868
finished it last week. it was pretty great. i did not like the hole double battle at first but once i got into it, i was hocked.

fuck the final boss though. what an cheating asshole.

That was Colosseum and yes. I even played the 100 trainer gauntlet in one sit.

Post a better theme track in the game. I dare you.

>>381754098
absolute mad man.

>>381753282
I'd really like doubles to be the standard for another game since there's so many moves and tactics that never see use anywhere else

I mean shit, it's been the official tournament format for years

>>381754337
Gale of Darkness was my first pokemon game as a kid. I was disappointed when I found out doubles wasn't the standard.

>>381750868
Pokemon XD was awesome I did the same thing as Anon381754098 and it was a blast but i think both XD gale of darkness and Colosseum were awesome games back in the day

if its one thing i can say about the game, its that i really liked fighting the chiper grunts, in the other pokemon games, you kinda know what type of pokemon the evil team was gonna send but with chiper, every battle was a surprise.

also cool battle theme.

The whole soundtrack is amazing. No other game in the series has came close.

>they were actually planning on making the MC from Colosseum the main villain in XD
>went back on it beacuse it was too "dark" and "edgy".

missed opportunity there.

>>381754510
That was another nice thing, not being able to guess a trainer's entire team at a glance made team building something to actually think about

Yes xD
My fav pokemon is gardevoir oWo

>Fuck off.
XD

>>381754337
i really hope they planning on making more games like Colosseum and XD in the future some day.

>>381750868
This has to be the shittiest and most unfashionable MC design in Pokemon

>>381754827
He's referenced in one 100 trainer battles

Holy shit, I pray to god this Switch title is another Colo/XD. Stadiums were fun but in today's gaming age they might not hold a candle with the amount of content if it were released today.
Didn't play Battle Revolution much; is that a fair representation of how Stadium would translate to in Wii era?

>>381754762
In XD you got starters for doing Mt. Battle without exiting. As a kid I thought it meant without any breaks so I grinded all three starters by doing the 100 trainers in one go. I have 600h clocked in the game by the way.

>>381755073
thats something i guess.

>>381755110
>is that a fair representation of how Stadium would translate to in Wii era?
Yes. It even has the N64 era tier amount of contents and I had the thing completely cleared in under 20 hours or so.

I thought it was cool they had a game that let you get 1st gen Pokemon, since colo had 0 capturable.

>>381755110
PBR was alright, but a lot of people like me were expecting a plot instead of stadium wii edition

With how much attention the battle facilities have gotten in the most recent games I get the feeling they're not going to make another one

>>381753852
yeah, Crobat was ugly as sin. started to miss my golbat.

What is this madness? An actual thread about one of the best GameCube games?

>>381756862
The trick was not putting the cover in the OP

>>381757142
Really clever, I hate how /v/ dismisses the game just because of the title. It's better than many mainline games in my opinion. Gale Of Darkness made me realize how much I love Espeon.

>>381757380
I wonder what the starters would be for a modern version

Eevee would probably still work since it's gotten 3 more evolutions since then

>>381750868
So we're pandering to amputees now?

>>381757517
I wouldn't mind if they take Eevee again. As long as they stay away from traditional starters. I like the idea of just taking an already existing Pokémon.

>>381757642
It goes over his arm.

>>381757831
With the new eevelutions since then, thats not a bad idea.

>>381757380
I don't think anyone dismisses the game because of the cover, it's just a meme really

>>381750868
>Parents decided to get me Colosseum for Christmas
>They got the bonus disc instead which didn't include the game
It came with a free Jirachi though, so it wasn't all bad

>>381757831
The real question is what your second starter would be, if any

I don't think a lot of people took teddiursa very far

>>381758246
Even worse.
>>381758462
Good question. Teddiursa was a pretty random pick, so no one could tell, really. But he was on my team the whole first playthrough.

Anyone transfer their pokemon team from Colosseum/Gale of Darkness to the main games?

Can't help but think of my pokes from Orre as my main team.

>>381759073
I did it with nearly all my Pokémons from Orre. My Gale Of Darkness copy is infested with Oddish.

>>381760756
i was more autistic than that
i cloned all pokemon on emerald and traded the originals back, but only on colosseum
still took days

>>381754510

Sometimes, I just wished Game Freak used some of these instruments that they have in this OST and used it in PKMN X/Y

>>381757517
Rotom with key items to change its form at any time. Would fit in with Japanese media's recent trend of hacker characters

>>381759073
Im using my Orre team in Sun and moon, with the same nickname as when i was 12

>>381750868
>XD
Fuck off.

>>381753505
>gen 2 and 3 pokemon

fucking trash, off yourself

>>381764162
the game is filled with nothing but gen 2 and 3 Pokemon though

>>381764162
game came out 2005 anon. the other gen pokemon did not exist yet.

>>381758462
I've always thought Ditto would make a cool starter, especially now that it has the Imposter ability and doesn't have to waste a move transforming.

>>381753505
Someone playing it right now. We have the same fucking time aside from that Crobat. I have an Ursaring instead.

Crobat would be far better probably, but my goal for this playthrough was using mons I don't normally use.

>>381753052
the game is literally called pokemon XD

i prefer Colosseum myself
that admin fight theme
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ld4TzVQD0Ag

Should I play Colosseum first? I don't want to burn myself out if I play them back to back.

>>381769459
They kinda feel like 2 halves of a normal length jrpg.

>>381754762
This.
I gave up midway for the menu's Mt.Battle Mode.

>>381769332
Agreed.

And I wanted to use mons I never used before too.
