XD sucks?

[pikachu_rocks19]

Alot of people were saying that XD is just Colossuem with different characters and it gets boring i just want to know if this is what you think about XD well i don't think it sucks

 

[Lord Nidokingu]

It is the exact same game engine with just a few cosmetic differences and some new locales.

While it's not the greatest game I've ever played, it's not the worst. It's okay.

 

[POKErUsAm]

it was fun untill i beat it. i dont want to play it again and start a new game.

 

[Theneedleman]

XD has many new things in it:
1. New shadow pokemon
2. New areas
3. New game modes, example: Battle Bingo
4. More battles
5. Purify Chamber
Among other things, Xd is different from past pokemon games.
And I like it!

 

[Solar boy Nick]

well itchanged a bit but it maked anew stile of a gameand its not bad if youre new to the game its a lot better than starting the whole series with a hard one coloseum or something

 

[Moonlight.]

Meh, if you've played through Colosseum a couple of times, you won't really like it. IMO it's not as got as Colo.

 

[Gily]

XD rocks Colosseum sucks

 

[Atoyont]

Personally, I think it's better than Colloseum; it is much more interactive.

 

[Gily]

yea and easier to purify shadow pkmn

 

[JohtoGirl]

Well, apart from Jovi and the fact that the main character has the worst design ever, it's okay.Sort of.I liked colosseum better, but it might just be me

 

[Whompithian]

Gale of Darkness went in the opposite direction the series seemed to be heading with Colosseum. The drastically different design for the hero, the inclusion of childishly cute characters like Jovi and Chobin, the cartoonish animations of your defeated opponents, the simplified motives of the villians, the buffoonery of the Hexagon Brothers and even subtle changes like the increased size of character's heads in proportion to their body all suggest that someone - probalby Nintendo - felt that Genius Sonority missed the mark with Colosseum. Since Colosseum failed to draw a new teen and older crowd into the Pokemon universe as well as expected, Genius Sonority developed Gale of Darkness with the intention of making the game directly appeal to a younger audience. This move alienated some of the older Colosseum fans, who felt that its sequel should have continued the tradition of making Pokemon more grown-up. This sentiment is the primary reason for people not liking Gale of Darkness. The game, however, is still fun to play, even if you - like myself - don't find the story to be as interesting as Colosseum. Gale of Darkness provides a larger, richer environment to explore, a larger variety of Pokemon to snag, interesting mini-games, tighter controls in the overworld and vastly improved graphics over Colosseum. It is not a bad game. I would have preferred the game be more similar to Colosseum, storywise, but the game is enjoyable and engaging. It's the only Pokemon game I've played through only once, but I intend to remedy that. As for personal opinions, there are always going to be people who just don't like something and you just have to decide for yourself if you agree with their opinions, rather than giving their words dominion over your own views. I've already said more than I meant to, so I'll end on that note.

I liked XD. I like really any Pokemon game that is handed out that's an RPG.

Compared to Colo, it was ok. I kind of liked it better than Colo because it was longer, and it had more Pokemon. And with more Pokemon comes more variety of teams that can be made, which is what I liked. Also, I did enjoy the challenge of catching 6 Shadow Pokemon at once. (And I did get all 6 in that battle with Greevil...was a 45 minute battle, but I did get all 6. )

Overall, XD is pretty good. It does have some things that stayed the same, but at the same time, they added new things, and places. I'd give it an 8/10.

It is the exact same game engine with just a few cosmetic differences and some new locales.

If I'm not mistaken, isn't that how all pokemon games are?
The same slighty altered (if you're lucky) game engine with just a few cosmetic differences and a fresh new region?

 

[~Shadow Espeon~]

Im not sure but I think that if XD had come first people would maybe have thought that collo was just a cheap copy but I think its good. It was a more exciting plot and some of the charcters where like hilarious. also I got some pokemon I hadn't had before.

 

[water types rule]

I like XD better but, the main character and hoverbike look alot cooler in Colsseum.

 

[◘Ins0mnIac◘]

I never played Colloseum and I love XD....

 

[Flame Haze SnS]

It was okay. It doesn't feel so "Colosseum". Wes (Leo named by me) is much cooler than Michael and Colosseum's Snagger is still much cooler than XD's Snagger. Wes's (Leo's) hoverbike is cooler than Michael's scooter (hoverscooter). Yet, XD's purifying is much easier than Colosseum's with the addition of movelists.

 

[-Koumori-]

I haven't gotten around to finishing XD, but so far I like it more then Colosseum. It feels longer already, more Pokemon to choose from, and purifying isn't such a pain. The Purify Chamber is a brilliant idea. The graphics are easier on the eyes as well, and the battle music is slightly better to me as well. I prefer the traditional Pokemon RPG's on the Gameboy systems and soon to be DS, but XD is still a good way to pass the time.

 

[Eileen]

XD lacked support of battle tower using your own Pokémon Game, overall it's better because it has more pokémon. =p

 

[Darky]

I still like Colosseum better, cause the cooler main character (and his bike) and the shadow mode while battles, who makes the shadow-attack of your pokémon stronger. And I also missed to battles with your Shadow-Pokemon to purifying them, just like the Serebi shrine in Emeritae. That new purify-machine in the labor made the shrine useless. -.-"
Those things I really missed in XD, it tooks the Colosseum feeling from the game. T_T
