They have also updated the move animations (and the trainers do a cheesy "rats" air punch when you hurt their pokemon).7

Every pokemon you snag is decent

I don't care if you don't like pokemon, just buy it right now

you CAN catch wild pokemon.

All pokemon must be "stolen" from evil trainers or caught using bait at Poke spots, of which there are a very limited number of types of pokemon available.

There are a few "wild" pokemon in this game, but the selection is so few I don't really count it for anything

Lugia is the best pokemon i have right now

I like how you can actually catch Wild Pokemon in this game (for once) and you can also get all 3 Jhoto starters with strong Pokemon and hard work

I never bought stadium or collosium though, because I liked pokemon for its RPG elements and catching all the pokemon.

The pokemon that appear there are pokemon you'd rather knock out than capture

Every review I read was negative, and seemed to concentrate on how you couldn't catch wild pokemon.

only for the brave at heart and die hard pokemon fan

Go on about your business, and sooner or later, you get a beep on your P*DA saying a wild pokemon has appeared.

There are more obtainable pokemon, better variety, inclusion of wild pokemon encounters (albeit limited), more gameplay, expanded region (though still feels a bit lacking), Unevolved Eevee (player has 5 options of evolution), and Orre Colosseum

Also, one more thing about the wild Pokemon: you can only catch 9

Once again, you can not battle wild Pokemon, like in the Game Boy versions.

If you have a GBA or a DS, you can trade your pokemon onto XD, and you can crush

I got this game, I even remember saying: "At last Ive got it, good bye Pokemon Stadium" then I started playing, imagine my face when I realized you "steal" pokemon from other trainers and not in the open grass terrains, this didnt bother

For instance, the lack of a wide variety of wild Pokemon did make it seem like you had less freedom when it came to creating a party, but the game makes up for that by allowing you to 'snag' certain Pokemon from other Trainers

It was also a little weird playing Pokemon without the intent of becoming the champion, which isn't necessarily

yes, you have to steal Shadow Pokemon from the villians who use them for battling

You have to capture and purify shadow pokemon.

I like how you can actually catch Wild Pokemon in this game (for once) and you can also get all 3 Jhoto starters with strong Pokemon and hard work

I guarrantee you that you'll love pokemon after you play this game

That means no catching them in the wild, and (my biggest issue) no battling wild pokemon for experience.

A pretty long game if you want to catch and purify all the pokemon, so have fun with it

you CAN catch wild pokemon.

A new hero has to snag and purify all the shadow pokemon

So you steal shadow pokemon from trainers and you raise them until they are free from the shadows

One annoying thing is the limited amount of wild pokemon, but pretty much everything else is good

, it's sweet pokemon you can collect,and how it displays.

This was very discouraging, because catching wild pokemon was the main reason I was going to buy XD.

You have a Pokemon-detector that goes off if any wild Pokemon are munching your treats at a Poke Spot.

If you kill the wild Pokemon by accident, just restart.3.

Theoretically, you can purify 15 shadow pokemon at once (9 in the chamber 6 in your party).....not going to go into more detail...buy the game...check it out.4

You can catch WILD POKEMON in XD.

(you can capture WILD pokemon and pass through gyms) and to have done a Pokemon Stadium style multiplayer in which the game has all the pokemon from the series at your disposal

There are many "spots" where you can leave out treats and try to capture wild Pokemon- leaving more treats means Pokemon stay longer, so they're easier to capture

This time, there are wild Pokemon, but only 9 (stinks huh?

Sure, stealing Shadow Pokemon and cleansing their hearts is a little

The game is twenty hours long if you want to run through it, but it can take up to forty hours if you want to purify all your pokemon and be a good trainer and all that stuff

I love pokemon an xd its such a phenomenal game great graphics for a game cube game one of the best

You can also catch wild pokemon and save anywhere in the world, anytime

In XD, you are shown three "Poke Spots" where you leave treats (bait) for wild Pokemon.

My son loves Pokemon, both cards and video games.

ive play it with them all the time.heck, if it wasnt for me, they wouldnt have any purified pokemon right about now.

The graphics are awsome, FULL 3D, and the storyline is very interesting, and it's espeacially cool when the hero uses the snag machine, to snag the shadow pokemon

Plus they added "wild" pokemon, but nothing like the original pokemon games with their wild pokemon.

Colluseum and XD have you well, stealing "Shadow Pokemon" from dark trainers, which you have to purify) most of my favorite
