Snagable Pokemon in XD

[allhailsneasel]

What did you think about the Snagable Pokemon in XD as compared to Colosseum? I thought they were generally better and more random so you can really have the feel of building a team you'd never build anywhere else. And although the Cipher Admins have too random Shadows, its a lot better than getting legendaries early in the game.

i liked the amount of shadows they threw in the game, but got irritated that A TON of them were soley from fr/lg, and collosseum was targeted at g/s/c shadows... hmmm... a pattern?? i think so!

I thought there was a greater variety of snaggable pokemon, and most of them were usable. Plus when they were purified they knew special moves, which meant that you could build better teams.

I think Pokemon XD has a great variety of Pokemon to snag plus you can snag more than one shadow pokemon at the same time!

I did like the fact that you get pokemon that increase as your pokemon do, but I don't like the fact that you don't get any legendaries until the very end of the game.

I liked that they know special moves so they OWN same-level opponents. The only drawback is that there are so many of them. I like evolving all of my Pokemon, so I have to raise up all the lower-level ones in Pyrite Colosseum, which I have practically memorized. Good thing I got the Lucky Egg! Yay me!

i think the pokemon you can snag are much better in xd than in colosseum because there are alot more to snag and you can get them at low levels which lets you have the fun of training them from a low to high level

Great variety, though I didn't really like some of them. Spearow? Beedrill? Pidgeotto? Raticate? Butterfree? Common pokes who appear either in the middle or end of the game.

Hey! I used Spearow!
Replaced it with Lugia tho..

Perhaps it was to make it harder?

Yeah, but the Eevee evolutions make this game a bit better, seeing as you can evolve it into any of its evolutions fairly early in the game.

XD has double the amount of Pokemon Colo has, 96 vs. 52.

Now that Shadow attacks trump everyone, and the Purification Chamber, that makes it easier to purify. (In Colo AR is your best friend, trust me.)

I only keep the special moves if they are useful:
Refresh: OUT.
Heal Bell: Kept it on Amphy and perhaps Altaria.
Sing: Only on Meowth, since it's close to Hypnosis, an Egg move.
Charm: OUT.
Sweet Kiss: Only if it performs a combo with other moves.
Helping Hand: IN. never know when it'll come in handy, since XD's battles are 90% Double.
Baton Pass: Only if there is a stat-raising attack.
Morning Sun: Really don't know here.
Follow Me: Same as Helping Hand.
Extrasensory: IN. The birds have better Special Attack anyway.
