Topic: Pokemon XD

[Caterkiller]

The game looks like it will be a bit more cinematic than the first Colloseum. I just hope the battles are faster paced. I really enjoyed Stadium 2 because of how the attacks looked and I had fun testing my skills against those insane Pokemon teams. But Colloseum some how made the Pokemon look worse than the N64 versions, the attacks looked crappier(except a few) and it was just alot slower fighting people.

I can see that the Pokemon still won't actualy touch each other(I'll save that hope for the Revolution or DS) But it just needs to be faster and all 386 Pokemon need to look like there was some care put into their models and not just a select few. And hopefuly like Stadium 1 to 2 the attacks will look better. All electric attacks in Colloseum looked like weak fire works instead of incredible lightning bolts.

I guess thats all I have on my mind for now.

Dan posted some impressions and called it a full rpg..but are there wild pokemon???  It sure doesn't sound like it and I'm bummed.

a MMORPG for pokemon would be cool, but the problem with having it on the DS is that sometimes you are out and want to play a game, but no internet. (yes there are still places in the world without wifi)

what i think would be cool (sorry, i know this is a for XD...) would be a DS game where there was an offline section of the world where you could play, and then the online where the MMORPG part came in.

and if XD and the DS game connected so you could play your characters when on the go.

Well, we can just consider Pokemon XD as practice for the real REAL console RPG.

[Caterkiller]

Oh and yes there is an area in the game where you can catch wild pokemon. Just not everywhere like in the GBA games. And it isn't random, you see the pokemon like you would any of the one of a kind pokemon or Lapras in G/S.

Well that's cool.  Have you played the JP version?  Any screenies?

6.8/10

so not buying this

[Mario]

Reggie just said that in the hopes that 10 million people would buy Pokemon XD.

You know, i'm not defending the game here, but please do NOT dismiss anything because of a low review(s), especially from IGN, it's silly.

It's funny, I was bummed out by Colloseum, so despite being a big Pkmn fan, I wasn't even gonna bother getting this until a price drop.... but then I just got an email telling me I won a copy in a contest I entered a few weeks ago. *L*

But to echo Mario's setiments, yeah, don't dismiss something until you at least try it. Then feel free to bash away.

It got a review score lower the Colloseum
How can I have faith?

The level of stupidity in that fact is exactly why you should have faith.  We all know it's a better game than Colosseum is.  That review score difference points out how stupid IGN is more that it points out how bad the game may be.
