About this product
Product Information
Search in the dark to bring light to the shadows in "Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness." Destroy the darkened souls, release imprisoned spirits, and bring emotions back into play. The second role-playing game of the Nintendo GameCube Pokémon titles, this video game features captivating 3-D graphics. Powerful special effects, RPG story development, devilish dueling monsters, and lifesaving devices are also included. The role-playing game has a release date of September 28, 2005, by Nintendo for the GameCube. It has an ESRB rating of E for Everyone. Activate the Aura Searcher and employ the Snatcher to release the stifled souls of Shadow Pokémon. More than 80 prospective Pokémon captives lure players deeper into the depths of this enchanting game with individual personalities, tactical variety, and creative moves. You can purify the Pokémon, resist the force of the dark gale, and bring light back from darkness.The goal of the game is to catch and purify evil Shadow Pokémon. There are 83 Shadow Pokémon to capture and purify. The shadow creatures are captured via the Snag Machine. Catching evil Pokémon will stop Cipher from creating world domination. If a player is unable to catch a particular Shadow Pokémon, they will receive a second chance from time to time. At certain points in the game, Mirror B. will appear. When he appears, he will have a previously uncaught Pokémon with him. At that point, the player has another opportunity to catch the creature. After players have caught the creature, they must purify it. Purification is done two ways. Method one uses the Purification Chamber. Method two requires the Shadow Pokémon to be carried into the Colosseum where he will be surrounded by good Pokémon. The creature will remain in the circle until it is purified. Nintendo estimates players to expect at least 40 hours of unique gameplay. Single-player gameplay and Versus Mode are available. When Pokémon characters battle, it is done in the Orre, Pokémon's Colosseum. When gamers aren't catching and purifying creatures, they can visit Mt. Battle or PokéStops. At Mt. Battle, gamers take part in a 100-trainer challenge. Each of the 100 battles is split into 10 levels with different zones. Each time a trainer makes it to a different zone, he will face more challenging competitors. At the end of each zone, a trainer will face an Area Leader. If he can beat the Area Leader, he will be gifted with PokéCoupons. Pokecoupons can be exchanged for prizes at the front desk of Mt. Battle. Players can also receive prizes at PokéSpots. There are three PokéSpots in the game. Here, gamers can lay down snacks to encourage wild Pokémon to spawn. Nine different Pokémon can be captured at PokéSpots. Gamers have to stay alert when waiting for creatures to spawn. Sometimes, an old lady, Munchlax, will appear and eat all the snacks. In addition to battling and catching, there are also minigames included. A Pokémon bingo-style minigame gives gamers the chance to get bonuses and special items. Pokémon supported in gameplay include FireRed, LeafGreen, Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald. Help Ash, Pikachu, and other Pokémon characters purify creatures and keep them safe from Cipher. Capture and purify all shadow creatures to win.Product Identifiers

NotYour Average Pokemon Game
This game follows a whole different story than what we're used to in the Pokemon series. Fighting and only being able to catch "shadow pokemon" make it a fun and unique twist. Also, as far as I know, there aren't any realy gyms or gym leaders (but I haven't really played too much of the game). I can see why it's one of the more sought after Pokemon games in the market.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great Game. Exellent Sequel. Improved Quality of Life Features and More.
Had Colosseum as a kid, never beat it. Purchased it a few months ago, beat it, and wanted to play the sequel. A bit more pricey, but I've had a great time playing XD so far. Would definitely recommend.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Pokemon XD is a cool console game.
Pokémon XD gale of Darkness is a good game, It shows that the GameCube has great graphics. The game brings a interesting story with the shadow Pokémon. The game focuses on double battles ( My favorite types of Pokémon battles.) the only down side is that you can only capture Shadow Pokémon. But this is a game that any Pokémon fan will enjoy.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great, Underrated game!
Ever since I saw Shadow Lugia for the first time I always wanted Pokemon XD. Fast forward a decade and here we are! This game plays great with no issues, I'm very happy. Been playing for a while now and couldn't believe my eyes when I encountered a shiny Hoppip in the oasis pokeSpot! This game is great! I'm gonna have to buy Pokemon Colosseum next!

Great game to play for pokemon fans. (Some spoilers for the mechanics and story of the game)
Great game and compared with the most recent game in the series, way better in the battle when the pokemon attack and react to being hit. A lot of the moves have a unique way it was implemented in the game alongside how the pokemon react when doing them. The new mechanic of opening the hearts of shadow pokemon, a main part of the game, is interesting as the shadow pokemon moves are super effective against every pokemon while not against other shadow pokemon. Overall good but one thing that it doesn't do better than is the other games we have is that opening pokemon's hearts takes a lot of time even when you do lots of battling while limiting the moves the pokemon knows and they can go into reverse mode that makes it so you either waste a turn snapping them out of it or taking damage and you can't heal them at all.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Pretty great time all around with more difficulty.
The product was good, the gameplay was solid Pokemon with the most challenge for catching them in the entire series. Teams are limited, so getting a good composition is a challenge in itself. Technical things, such as EV training, is still present, though is more of a hassle than in other installments. The story is different and with a darker plot, and the graphics are pretty decent for gamecube era, with full 3d models for all Pokemon. All around it was a great time.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
