Which game do you like better and why? I like Colosseum better because you can get Ho-oh at Level 70. In XD Lugia is only at Level 50. And you have to puirify him. That is hard.

Hm... this is kind of a hard question, but I like Pokemon Colosseum a little bit more than XD. 
First of all, Colo had some maturity to it, than XD did. Oh, sure, some Shadow Pokes were hard to purify, and you had to find a PC to save... but what really appealed to me was the storyline of the game. ^^ As for XD, sure, it has more Shadow Pokemon, better graphics, mini games, and improvements... but I think it lacks a perfect storyline, and it is short. Sometimes, it's hard to snag some Shadow Pokemon without the Master Ball glitch (although I haven't tried it out, yet... ^^; ) So, I do like Pokemon Colosseum and XD, but I'm just saying that I like Colo a little bit more. ^_^

On the one hand, XD had more available Pokemon and a better bonus item.
On the other hand, Colosseum had maturity and a simply darker tone.
As I like me my darkness, I'm gonna say Colo.

In XD, you could snag/evolve into/catch my three fave pokemon: Jupetta, Ariados, Upaa. Colo only had Ariados. Plus, XD had Eldes, Ardos, and Ryuuto, as well as having Seigi and Masa return. They comprise of my top five Orre characters. I do like darkness, but... I just enjoyed XD more over all.
And I love the extra little games in XD, even if they do tend to frustrate me. ^^;

I prefer XD because you can save anywhere which makes pretty much everything so much easier. Also there's a larger selection or Shadow Pokemon, and you can choose which Evo you want for Eevee(even though I went with Espeon).

On one hand, I loved them both...*sigh* this shall be hard, I would say Colo, because it just has the best storyline, but XD has so much more, and it is a sequel, and I am a sucker for those...seeing what has happened to all the charactures from the past game...*sigh* and you could save anywhere! But with Colo is seems more enjoyable...but then again, it looses major points for the whole Mirror B. thing...and XD looses major points for still not having a name rater (Or does it?) I am going to have to go with....XD

There's a name rater in both games at the Pokemon day care in Agate Village.Wert_the_Wolf said:

I didn't know that.
I'm going to go for XD on this one, for a number of reasons:
XD had so much better graphics than Colo, especially in attacks. I mean, Flamethrower and Ice beam prove my point. The animations in Colo were just so bland. Also, the choice of which to evolve your Eevee was quite good, and it was so much easier to catch shadow PKMN for some reason, they just seemed to have a better catch rate. The inclusion of shadow moves other than Shadow Rush was quite cool as well, so it made it even easier to catch PKMN, without wondering wether it would knock itself out.
However, XD did have its downsides. One of them was that it was so bland going back to the same places, even the new ones were really small, except Citadark Isle. Plus, Colo had more darkness and evil in it, XD was a bit too...light, IMO.

gasp...i must go name Lugia XD001 now...oh, and since I forgot to vote, I am going to vote for Colo now, even though you can not save except at the PC...DGCatAniSiri said:
Both. I vastly preferred the characters in Colosseum, though.
XD improved the graphics, animations and the overall gameplay experience, though. Not much of a good thing looking at how the Purifying Chamber made purification way too easy, and killed the very root of this group of game's main foundation. But hey! It's good to be lazee...
XD gave us Pokémon with new Moves, exclussive to them (Even if more than half were ROFLable Refresh...), new Move Tutors and access to the elusive Lucky Egg. Plus, faster-to-get Pokécoupons and a better Mt. Battle, as well as improvments in the Battle Mode. It also allowed saving anywhere (Though it detracted a bit from both tedium and difficulty...) and had more locations.
Colosseum has a better storyline. XD is a better game in regards of graphics, extras and gameplay. I love both almost equally, as they're both part of my favorite Pokémon deviation.
