Spoilers for Pokémon Colosseum are unmarked. You Have Been Warned!Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness is a Spin-Off game in the Pokémon series, developed by Genius Sonority and released for the Nintendo GameCube in 2005. The game is a sequel to Pokémon Colosseum, released on the same system.5 years after the events of Colosseum, Cipher has reemerged with a new mysterious boss and renewed vigor. They bided their time to further perfect their tainting process and managed to create Shadow Lugia, the most powerful Shadow Pokémon of all and allegedly immune to purification. Thankfully, a group of Crazy-Prepared scientists feared for this eventuality and also spent the time and money to create numerous countermeasures, such as a new Snag Machine and a more efficient purification process.Similar to its predecessor, the gameplay revolves stealing Pokémon from the bad guys in the Double Battle format. Despite the Darker and Edgier look presented by the cover, XD scales things back a few notches by replacing the Anti-Hero main character with a Kid Hero named Michael, and cleaning up Orre so that it's not quite as gritty as before. The plot this time revolves around "XD001": a Lugia transformed by the reborn Cipher crime syndicate into a Shadow Pokémon supposedly immune to purification.XD: Gale of Darkness added a few new features, such as "Poké Spots", small areas where you could lure and catch wild Pokémon, and a method for mass purifying Shadow Pokémon. In addition, Shadow Pokémon now have a much greater variety of moves and there are far more to catch than before.

Darker and Edgier: Ironically enough, from Colosseum. In XD, Cipher is quite obviously playing for keeps: they've got an army of more Shadow Pokémon than ever, led by a Legendary Pokémon so corrupted that it's form has been dramatically altered; they're pulling off dramatic, showy heists in full-view of the public; and they're pushing Shadow Pokémon so hard that Michael has to steal them back from innocent people.

Second, and really minor unless you remembered every minor trainer's dialogue involves a cooltrainer in front of the Agate Village Pokémon Center. In Colosseum, it's a male named Dury (Takato in Japanese), who's a battle-able trainer. In XD, the cooltrainer is a female named Cida (Takami in Japanese, for maximum Stealth Pun) who explicitly mentions she's the younger sister of Dury and has come to the village to study like he did because she's jealous of how strong he became after studying here.

Chekhov's Gun: After beating Robo Groudon Chobin early in the game, a frustrated Kaminko decides to scrap the Robo Kyogre in production and demands that Makan get rid of it. Makan, seeing the potential in the machine as a high-speed boat, fixes it up and gets it working, and it turns out that it's the only way to get to Cipher's base on Citadark Isle.

 Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness (Video Game) / int_28104b90
comment
Bag of Spilling: While the player character is separate between the two games, a few returning NPCs have had their levels fall hard. Miror B. is inexplicably missing his trademark Ludicolo quartet until an optional postgame fight, and is nowhere near the level seen in his endgame appearance in Colosseum until said fight. The same is true for various other Trainers fought (as XD starts with Level 10 opponents instead of 25/26). Eagun's Pikachu takes the largest hit, as in Colosseum it was Lv. 50, but in XD it's only Lv. 12. Though Eagun states before battling you that it's his first time in five years, so the reduced level is probably supposed to represent Pikachu being out of shape - after beating the final boss, when faced at the Pokémon HQ Lab, Pikachu is back to Lv. 50.

Awesome, but Impractical: Robo Groudon. Sure, Chobin looks awesome and gets boss battle music in it, but it doesn't make him a better trainer (though he does evolve his Sunkern and get two more Pokémon when you first battle him with it). Every time you defeat Chobin when he's controlling Robo Groudon, it malfunctions and starts smoking from its mouth.

Even Evil Has Standards: Subverted. Dr. Krane gives Naps, Lovrina's number two and brother, an earful about the misdeeds he's committing with Cipher. Naps acknowledges that it's evil, but still refuses to quit. Apparently, Poochyena soccer is the bare minimum to remain employed in his line of work. note Alternatively, given who his sister is and her behavior toward her underlings... it's possible he's been abused by her too, and is too terrified/broken to try and defy her orders. Played straight later with Hordel who signed up for Cipher but was horrified when he actually saw the Cipher Key Lair. And later with Eldes, who put up with a lot out of loyalty toward his father but drew the line at blowing up Citadark Isle to get rid of Michael. When you first meet Miror B. and he asks you to join his gang, he won't accept a "yes" from you because he can tell your heart isn't in it, and he says that you need to think hard before taking on a life of crime.

Unintentionally Unwinnable: Beating Naps will cause the fight with Lovrina to trigger at the elevator to the lab's entrance. The only PC is past her, and there's no way to level grind or buy items, so if your party isn't strong enough to beat hers, you’re completely stuck if you saved your game after beating Naps. Thankfully, losing to Lovrina sends you back to the entrance of the Lab, meaning you aren't screwed completely.

They're saved by one of Mr. Verich's bodyguards, whose Lv.44 Alakazam wipes the floor with Zook's Shadow Zangoose. This turns out to be less about saving Michael and Jovi than it is about having Zook flaunt his Shadow Zangoose in public. When you first reach the Cipher Key Lair, you watch as Zook easily defeats Team Snagem Biden's Oddish in 1 turn with his Shadow Zangoose.

Defeat Means Playable: Several Battle CDs are "double-sided" discs, which in practice means that winning Side A unlocks access to Side B. Side B lets you use the team that you were originally fighting against on Side A, though there are occasionally differences for balance (e.g. Latios and Latias have Soul Dew when you're fighting against them on Disc 47, but lose the item when you use them on Disc 48).

Villain Forgot to Level Grind: When Ardos defeats Zook in Gateon Port at the beginning of the game, his uses a Level 44 Alakazam. When you battle him on Citadark Isle near the end of the game, his Alakazam is the same level. When you first meet Miror B., his team is at a level that's a slight challenge. If you rematch him for Shadow Pokémon outside of the fight at the end, his core team is still at the same level as his first appearance, making him a more and more trivial battle as you progress through the game. Justified for all of the Shadow Pokémon fought for a second time; they explicitly cannot gain levels (and thus level grind) until they've been purified.

Surprisingly Creepy Moment

comment
Surprisingly Creepy Moment: Moreso than Colosseum - the game starts out much more lighthearted, and Orre's been cleaned up quite a bit. Then the wreckage of the Libra is discovered, with its crew members' fates left unknown, but are heavily implied to be dead. In Colosseum, you start in the south-eastern corner of Orre and work your way northwest, while in XD you work backwards. The game keeps you waiting before you make it back to familiar locations like Phenac City... so as to maximize the dissonance when you realize that there's something not quite right. When you first visit Phenac City, it looks the same as it did in Colosseum. Then the NPCs start saying very strange things to you, the shop is revealed to be closed, and Justy, the person you were sent to warn about Cipher, immediately laughs off your concerns. All the while, the background music gets more and more distorted as you wander around the city.

Book Ends: The game begins with you getting the Snag Machine. If you Snag every Shadow Pokémon and beat the Final Boss, the game ends with you putting the Snag Machine back on its stand, never to be used again.

Enemy Mine: Gonzap keeps his word by returning Michael's Snag Machine after being defeated, and explains that Team Snagem doesn't need to make things difficult for Michael; since Michael is trying to take down Cipher himself, they're both on the same side. They even end up helping Michael out later on.

Boss Rush

comment
Boss Rush: The Orre Colosseum consists of 7 challenges, the final round of each being against a boss from the game (Not just the Cipher Admins, but also ones like Robo Groudon Chobin). They can be re-challenged freely, too, but bear in mind these are those "enemy team is scaled to yours" kinds of fights, so you'll likely need to import heavy-hitters from other games.

Disc-One Nuke: Espeon once again, if you choose to evolve your Eevee into one. It's arguably worse due to the lower starting levels, but this Espeon has access to Bite for added coverage. Jolteon may count as a milder example, also being a fair notch above the early game foes statistically.

comment
Gameplay and Story Segregation: After you snag and purify all 83 Shadow Pokémon, if you go re-battle Greevil, you get a little additional scene in the ending. It has Michael, looking at the no-longer-needed snag machine, which is lying on a table in the lab. However, after the credits roll and the game re-starts, he's still wearing the machine. Hard to explain, since a plot point of the game ensures there is data for Michael without the machine programmed in.

Permanently Missable Content: Picking the wrong questions in an interview (you have to answer all completely truthfully) will make the Amulet Coin inaccessible without trading; you instead get a much less useful item that can be found elsewhere. If you don't return Kandee to her mother in ONBS before Cipher invades the building, you can't get a Soothe Bell without trading it in from another game. The Shadow Voltorb is missing a flag that makes it respawn should you lose to Miror B in the first battle at the Cave Poké Spot, which locks you out of catching it. And as Shadow Dragonite requires you to catch all other Shadow Pokémon, being unable to acquire Voltorb means you are locked out of Dragonite too. No other Shadow Pokémon you can lose to while still progressing through the story is missing this flag, so you cannot be locked out of them.

Color-Coded for Your Convenience: The Hexagon Brother all wear colored outfits that (mostly) correspond to the type of Pokémon they primarily use. Resix wears red and uses Fire-types, Blusix wears blue and uses Water, Yellosix wears yellow and uses Electric, Purpsix wears purple and uses Poison, and Greesix wears green and ues Grass. The only exception is Browsix; while brown would match Rock- or Ground-types, and he initially has a Shadow Baltoy (a Ground-type), he uses Normal-types.

A man in Phenac bought the "Power-Saving Refrigerator", which stops refrigerating whenever the door is closed. He can't understand why his food is spoiling so quickly. A man in Agate bought the "Unhealthy Sandals" and wonders why he's feeling so sore all the time. You'd think the name alone would have tipped him off...

Other minor activities include the Colosseum battles in Pyrite and Realgam Towernote By the end-game, Pyrite Colosseum will be a cakewalk unless you have other Pokémon at around Level 20 that need some experience, completing the Mt. Battle challenge, obtaining and completing all 50 Battle CDs, and clearing all eleven Battle Bingo cards. Of course since the game does not show your progress towards 100% Completion, this is more for the sake of obtaining bragging rights.

When you first meet Miror B., his team is at a level that's a slight challenge. If you rematch him for Shadow Pokémon outside of the fight at the end, his core team is still at the same level as his first appearance, making him a more and more trivial battle as you progress through the game. Justified for all of the Shadow Pokémon fought for a second time; they explicitly cannot gain levels (and thus level grind) until they've been purified.

Perky Female Minion: Lovrina is so this. As mentioned above in Obfuscating Stupidity, while she may act like a stereotypical Valley Girl she is more than capable among Cipher's R&D considering she led the development of XD001 itself.

Post-End Game Content: Aside from being able to have rematches with several Trainers across Orre (the teams of which are all at Level 50) there is the Orre Colosseum, snagging any remaining Shadow Pokémon you did not obtain on the first try from Miror B before being able to battle him one final time to snag his Shadow Dragonite, purifying all the remaining Shadow Pokémon, and the Lucky Egg quest. Other minor activities include the Colosseum battles in Pyrite and Realgam Towernote By the end-game, Pyrite Colosseum will be a cakewalk unless you have other Pokémon at around Level 20 that need some experience, completing the Mt. Battle challenge, obtaining and completing all 50 Battle CDs, and clearing all eleven Battle Bingo cards. Of course since the game does not show your progress towards 100% Completion, this is more for the sake of obtaining bragging rights.

Took a Level in Badass: Prior to Generation IV, the only notable thing about Shadow Togepi was that if you evolved it before trading it, you'd only get a normal Elekid. After Generation IV introduced both the Physical-Special split and Togekiss, with its massive special attack, competitive players noticed Shadow Togepi has Tri-Attack, which was now an immensely useful move.

Foreshadowing: One of the citizens of Gateon Port notes that Mr. Verich has a lot of money as his name suggests. Not to mention his powerful bodyguards. When Zook is at the factory acting as a gatekeeper, he questions how Gorigan heard of the fact that he was flaunting his Shadow Zangoose in Gateon Port, leading him to get punished. It's because he showed off that Zangoose right before the Grand Master Greevil's eyes, under the guise of Mr. Verich.

Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: Downplayed, as Shadow Lugia is the only antagonist of the two. Colosseum featured Ho-Oh during the ending and gave him to the player for completing a certain Battle Mode challenge with a team from the Story Mode after purifying every Shadow Pokémon. Shadow Lugia, on the other hand, is a villain in the main story, during which it is also available to be snagged.

With the lava blocked, the ground instantly cools enough to walk on, and the crates don't show any signs of getting red-hot either. You are told it's too hot to approach the chest if you try to get it before you drop the chest, and the peon who drops down as you're about to run through the door says he got hot waiting for you, but that's it.

Heads I Win, Tails You Lose: The fight against Cipher Commander Exol on top of ONBS serves as a very rare case of this in the series. Lose to him, and the game will continue rather than causing a white-out, with him walking off with the data rom he took from Nett (and leaving the story). Beat him, and while he'll be frustrated, he still has the data rom and will leave with it anyway.

After beating him, you can fight Ardos right away, but you'll likely need to heal after Snattle and the Door to Before is rigged with a Cipher Peon encounter. After Ardos is a rematch with Gorigan, followed by a brief interruption in the bosses with a Cipher Peon battle. The boss fights resume with Eldes, Shadow Lugia, and finally Greevil.

Lighter and Softer: While Orre still has some dark patches, it's far less bleak than in Pokémon Colosseum. The region isn't as much of a wasteland with grass and trees growing and water spreading, there seems to be more Pokémon League presence in the region, while one Wretched Hive is shut down and the other has a now clean white building in it whose inhabitants are dedicated to being helpful. The game makes it pretty clear that Wes shook up the region's status quo pretty good.

Anti-Frustration Features
 Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3
comment
Anti-Frustration Features: One for Pokédex completionists: The majority of endgame Shadow Pokémon are of species that, while they can be found in the wild in FireRed and LeafGreen, have notoriously low (1-5%) chances of appearing (and some have the added annoyance of being found only in the Safari Zone). Additionally, the Hoenn Dex Pokémon unavailable in Emerald (Surskit, Roselia, Meditite, Lunatone and Zangoose) are available here, eliminating the need to trade with Ruby and Sapphire. In Colosseum, Shadow Pokémon could easily KO themselves using Shadow Rush, since it deals recoil to the user. Here, while some Shadow moves do hurt the user, they cannot cause the user to faint (Shadow Half and Shadow End reduce the user's HP by half its current value). Tracking down missed Shadow Pokémon is also easier, since they'll go straight to Miror B. for an immediate second chance rather than requiring you to wait until a postgame rematch. Much like in Colosseum, several Shadow Pokémon have had their catch rates adjusted. This time though all adjustments were to increase catch rates, including every member of the final boss's team except Shadow Lugia. The saving feature from Colosseum is removed where accessing a PC is required and is replaced by traditional saving methods found in the mainline Pokémon games.

comment
Cue the Sun: In the final cutscene after you defeat the Final Boss, the clouds dissipate and the sun breaks through, likely symbolizing the end of Shadow Pokémon. It makes sense in-universe too, since Cipher was actually artificially causing the storms surrounding their headquarters. Once the protagonist shuts down their operations, the machine is presumably turned off, calming the weather.

Optional Boss: All but two encounters with Miror B. are optional, as he'll only show up at a Colosseum if you fail to snag a Shadow Pokémon. And catching all the Shadow Pokémon is itself optional outside of 100% Completion, so nothing is stopping you from ignoring Miror B. if he shows up.

Ceiling Cling: Just like in Pokémon Colosseum, Cipher Peons tend to hang from the ceiling just out of sight while waiting to ambush whoever passes by. A grunt in the ONBS raid chills in an elevator and gets the jump on you as you leave; a grunt on Citadark Isle does the same.

Never Say "Die": It's made blatantly obvious that Cipher used Shadow Lugia to outright murder the S.S. Libra crew down to the last man, but since this is still an 'E' game, the story does its best to gloss over this fact.

The Very Definitely Final Dungeon: Citadark Isle, Cipher's base. It's located on an active volcano surrounded by near-untraversable ocean currents (which you learn are generated artificially) with a perpetual storm overhead. It's enormous, to the point where almost half of the game's Shadow Pokémon are found within it.

During your first trip into Gateon port, Michael's little sister bumps into a thug, Zook. They're saved by one of Mr. Verich's bodyguards, whose Lv.44 Alakazam wipes the floor with Zook's Shadow Zangoose. This turns out to be less about saving Michael and Jovi than it is about having Zook flaunt his Shadow Zangoose in public.

Department of Redundancy Department: You can end up with two Electabuzz in the game. One from evolving Zaprong the Elekid obtained from trading the purified Shadow Togepi, and a Shadow Electabuzz to snag from Ardos. You're better off using an evolved Zaprong than the Shadow Electabuzz, as not only does the traded status grants Zaprong the extra experience points, but it also comes with the three Elemental Punches, granting much better coverage than Ardos' Electabuzz.

Brick Joke
 Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness (Video Game) / int_fe0330fb
comment
Brick Joke: Some with the minor background characters of Colosseum, actually. First, and plot relevantly, the lady who lived with Es Cade during Colosseum is revealed to be a Cipher Peon in XD, which makes sense Es Cade, or rather Evice, was Cipher's boss in Colosseum. In XD, you need to distract and then fight her. Second, and really minor unless you remembered every minor trainer's dialogue involves a cooltrainer in front of the Agate Village Pokémon Center. In Colosseum, it's a male named Dury (Takato in Japanese), who's a battle-able trainer. In XD, the cooltrainer is a female named Cida (Takami in Japanese, for maximum Stealth Pun) who explicitly mentions she's the younger sister of Dury and has come to the village to study like he did because she's jealous of how strong he became after studying here. Next is Makan, who did have a minor role in Colosseum as Perr's grandfather, is essential to defeating Cipher in this game. Similarly Ancha the star newscaster from ONBS is the one who had the battle against Wes's imposter filmed at the very end of the game, saving his reputation. Lastly, is the story from an old man in The Under in Colosseum where he discusses that some guy got VERY RICH from mining in The Under, and left and hoped he did it for good. This is foreshadowing Mr. Verich or rather Grand Master Greevil of Cipher, who most definitely did NOT use it for good.
