Title: Nintendo Classics GameCube To Get Pokemon XD In March

No mention of Colosseum, and we checked, it didn't shadowdrop.

We have a window for half of the Shadow Pokemon series for the GameCube Nintendo Classics, but probably not the one you thought.

A trailer for Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness (2005) was shown during the Pokemon Presents today with an announcement of a March release window. It covered most of the plot as well as the battle with box mascot "XD001" Lugia.

XD was announced for addition into the GameCube library alongside its predecessor, Pokemon Colosseum, in the Switch 2 unveil Direct last April: no details were given on a potential Colosseum window.

Finally! I was always curious about this one but never got around to picking it up, so I'm looking forward to try it out.

Is this the first or 2nd of the GameCube Pokemon games? I remember playing the first one, but not the 2nd.

2nd. Colosseum came out in 2003 Japan/2004 elsewhere, XD came out in 2005

OK, thanks. Thought this was the one I hadn't played. Then that would mean Colosseum was the weird Stadium sequel with the campaign mode where you could only steal other trainers' Pokemon. That's all I remember about it.
