I was a bit dissappointed with the lack of good Pokemon in XD. The only new Pokemon you can get is Lugia. I mean come on! Colloseum had Entei, Raikou, Suicune, Ho-Oh and lets not forget all the previously unobtainable Johto Pokemon. XD only has Pokemon you can easily get in the GBA games.

Lucky egg=rare (I know it isn't a pokemon) salamence is good too, as are many other pokemon, you haven't the faintest as to what you're on about.
Their are quite alot of rare safari pokemon in XD which previously, were god damn hard to catch.

Yes, I was in fact pleased with the Pokemon in this game. Kanto Pokemon I'd normally be unable to catch because I don't have LG. I just wish they had Slowpoke >__< . And don't forget the rare moves they added. Besides who else were they going to add? They already covered all the Pokemon in the previous games. And perhaps it would've been good to see a few more Hoenn Pokemon. Too bad they didn't put in Deoxys because I had Lugia from Navel Rock!

Well, I wasn't really that dissapointed, good moves for each pokemon, the story and alot of other things, also being able to get the johto starters was a good thing
The only thing I disliked, was that the story was erribly short, think of other similar typed games like Zelda for instance, that goes on for ages, but XD was finished in 2 days, It took me atleast 2 or 3 weeks to figure out Zelda (wind waker).

I agree about charm, but refresh helped me through some parts of the game!

The game was way too short, I believe they could have made it much longer, and they definetly should have brought back The Under.

I thought this at first too, but then I realized that it's perfect if you only have a single GBA pack, most of the pokemon caught in XD are either version exclusive, or are very hard to get a hold of otherwise.
the only version exclusive pokemon not found in XD is Slowpoke family.
otherwise, it's now possible to get 380 pokemon with just Emerald (nearly all hoenn pokemon, several Jotho ones), Leaf Green (Most Kanto pokemon, several jotho ones including the legendary beasts) and XD (pretty much all the pokemon not found in Emerald, and Leaf Green)
I didn't count the 6 special pokemon since they're very difficult to get a hold of. The only 2 that are "readly available" is Lugia and Ho-oh found in the GCN games.
No Heal Bell Dunsparce (Or any Dunsparce for that matter >_<) ;_;
Silver Wind wasn't an special move for anything (Parasect, Pineco, and Beedrill, I'm looking at ya')
They should have had a bigger variety of Exclusive moves on the Pokemon.
Poor Parasect, Magcargo, Electrode, and Magneton. All 4 of them plus countless others get Refresh ;_; They needed something better.

I disagree, as I think that it was better for mewbies to the Pokemon games because everything is explained to you rather than having to battle a trainer with Zigzagoons. Also, I liked the fact that you get Pokemon such as ;249-d;;123; ;115; ;122; etc. The legendary birds were nice, and it was more challenging in a way because of Shadow Lugia, more than 1 Shadow in party of some Cipher people, more Shadow attacks, more places, supereffective Shadow attacks on normal Pokemon and not being able to get one-off Pokemon such as Sudowoodoo and the Legendary Dogs so early in the game.

Too many Cipher peons, they could have given more shadow to normal people, not everything to those peons.
Too many shadow attacks. Having just shadow rush, you could check how good a pokémon is while you purify it, in XD you can't.
Dissapointed when I saw that all admins had the same overworld music.
So much hype to lugia...
No Phenac, Under and Deep colosseums.
And finally, the ending, closseum's was a lot more transcendental.

I liked the variety in XD. I have Leaf Green, and with XD I may be able to complete the Kanto dex.

To short a story line, colosseum was longer and I'm not totally sure but it had a few less places, the ending was quite predictable..
*spoiler for those who never played colo*
If you hadnt read guiides then evice was quite a surprise.
*spoiler ended*
AND WHERE WAS EIN ;-; ??

I wasn;t that disappointed but maybe that was because i went in with low expectations. I already had every common pokemon from my FR/LG and Ruby/Sapphire so i wasn;t expecting that much of a variety of pokemon. The whole reason i bought it was for Lugia, but i think having special moves on the purified pokemon was a plus( even if some of them are completely useless on that pokemon), and getting the johto's with those elemental beams also a plus.
I agree that the story was too short and that the under should have been brought back. Plus i thought Greevil was much easier to beat than the boss of colosseum, which is good in a gameplay way, just u know a bit disappointing. But if the gameplay was too long then we would be complaining that it took so long to get shadow lugia and so long before we could trade them over to our GBA carts, so i'm kinda glad the story was short.

Agreed. I only own ruby but still. When you say version Exclusive, I think of the punching Elekid wich whort getting if you don't have LG. Same with Lunatone/Solrock or Mawile/Sablye if you only own ruby/saphire. Just too bad, there's no Seviper in the game. But you still can get one from a friend.PDL said:
