Could they have done better???

In your oppinion, could the creators of the "pokemonXD gale of darkness" Have done better?


Could they have....

...made the graphics tighter(not cool tight, graphicaly tighter/smoother)?

...made the plot more interesting?

...made the lucky egg quest better?

...made more adventures for after defeating the head cipher boss?

...chosen a better XD001?

...chosen to have more than one XD000?

...made the main character cooler?

...made pokemon moves look more 3 dimentional (rather than just moving the camera angel and shooting a beam across the screen)?

...fixed the physical contact move "glitch" already(instead of waiting till PBR)?

This is both a "tecnically speaking, they could have but..." and a "they should have cuz..." thread.

Please answer more than one at a time either or.

Feel free to add to he "they could have" list.

Thanks for your thoughts in advance.

The Reason The Graphics on some of the Pokemon Look Well, Bad, Is beacuse The r/b/y/s/g/c Pokemon were just imported from the stadium games and some moves were too, just to save time on coding, And they had to go for a story and not have to many side quests for younger gamers and more 'casual' gamers. They have deadlines to meet and had to start work on Battle revolution so blame their boss... if you have to...
personally, i like the game, and half the reason i play is for training on mt battle anyway.

I still feel they could have done better by re designing some pokemon. Like the one that i your avatar for instace. Wouldn't you like it to look better in 3d?

It looks like it has a pyramid for it's belly in XD...just so bad.

there's a lot they could have done. they could have put celebi in there for all the people that didnt go to jaa or didnt receive the celebi bonus disk.

I wish they had incluted mewtwo with fly and surf, after all it flyes and controls weather in the first movie.

I also think that they could have done a better job with the direction of launched attaks. like how thunder goes all the way down the screen and when you attack your team member you still "shoot" forward.

Mabe they could have even fixed the takle thing but that would have taken too long to do. Then you have to deal with the Wailord used rollout on caterpie thing LOLZ!!!

That would have been awsome!!! flatening a caterpie with the biggest pokemon as of yet...

I actually loved XD. They could have made it look better, but XD001 looked great.
 

Cataclysmic

In my opinion, the plots could have been way better. The GBA games hold my interest way more than the GC games and I mostly just went through them for the Pokemon.

If they'd kept Lugia shadowed and made it so the GBA could read the shadows attacks, it would have been better.

Not enough catchable Pokemon either.

No bike option? BAH.

Made it a two player co-op option. Allowing for the ability to play as both Micheal and Jovi.

Taken some more things from the GBA games that work oh so well. Breeding for example.

Yes they should have allowed breeding since you get souch rare pokemon in the games they could have made it so that the bred pokemon there could inherit the rare moves from their parents since they are nonbreedable moves in R/S/E/Fr/Lg.

Does anyone think they could have technically fixed the tackle glitch here instead of waiting another year or more for BR?

I believe they took the old 3d models opf blastoise charizard and venusaur and just copyed them. It saved them a lot of time to just use the old graphics, what lazy fukks. They probably saved a bunch of money too, cheap bassstarrrdsss!

Hell, they should have put Mew if theres a old man who will teach Mew any move. To tell the truth I still play Colosseum Because Colosseum's Battle mode was way better... and i have a code to snag every pokemon in the game so it way better than playing XD

The main character looks like he still wears a diaper XD.

IMO they should have made him look a little older. Though come to think of it this game was more of a kiddie world, I gotta get me a gamecube gameshark for colloseum LOL. I did the masterball glitch so the last Ten pokes shouldn't be a pain.

The moves suckk sooo much:( i wish they worked harder on the physically touching move thing, come on what stopped them???

I wish that there would be the time feature on the gamecubes time, that way, there could have been a day.night feature and you can grow berries and maybe replace the step counting with time for eggs in xd so you can breed pokemon.
Also, NO recycled graphics, XD`s attack graphics were great but the Pokemon were`nt

^^ the attacks were NOT great. They sucked at making thunder, and if u use thunderbolt on a small ppkemon, you can see where in the second screen shot the thunderbolt begins in the middle of the field; that also happened to me with moltres using flamethrower in stadium 1!

How hard is it to aim a direct beam!?
