Yes. Yes it is a new RPG. Akin to Colosseum.
And if you do a side quest, you get the Lucky Egg. Wee!

No, it's a half-assed remake of Stadium that's combined with a half-assed RPG.

yeah, looks pretty ass-tastic. 74% on GameRankings that's falsely inflated by a bullshit 8.5 from Nintendo Power
just finished reading the IGN review. sounds crappy.

Is Colosseum not worth getting then? I didn't like RuSa, but GSC was great and I thought Stadium 2 totally kicked ass. The RPG part in Colosseum seems pretty lame though...
So what about the RPG element of XD? In the Colosseum RPG, IIRC, everything was 3D but you were stuck with a top-down forced 2D-view. Does this have camera controls more akin to those of Super Mario 64?
Does the story still revolve around "purifying" Dark Pokémon? Can you catch 'em all? Does this game tie into the story of the other games at all? Why am I even bothering, I thought I didn't like Pokémon anymore?

I actually wrote a review for Colosseum on ign. You can check it here:
http://rr.cube.ign.com/rr/566822/032/032542.html
Totally a step backward from Stadium 1&2 due to the switch to the incompetent developing team 'Genius Sonority'. The story mode is mildly entertaining, if anything, but Pokemon's replay value is both in multiplayer and in team building.
Colosseum and XD's multiplayer modes blow, and their collection aspect for team building is decent, if anything. There are a limited number of wild and snaggable Pokemon across both titles, so if you're really dead set on getting the games for collecting certain Pokemon to be transferred to Ru/Sa/En/Fr/Lg, I'd say give 'em a try.
If not, you're not missing much. The game's character models and sound blow. Basically, both games are extremely subpar. [ 10-13-2005, 12:30 PM: Message edited by: CHaRiZaRd ]
