While the singles format tends to favor fast sweepers, bulkier Pokémon and Pokémon with status-based movepools have heightened importance in the Doubles format. The doubles format is interesting, as each attack must be directed at a target. In fact, Pokémon Colosseum and XD are the first (and only) games where doubles take center stage. Although doubles is the main format in Pokémon VGC, they are seldom used in the traditional games' story mode.
Regional Differences (Japanese Exclusives)ĭouble Battles are a battle format introduced in Generation 3.(Useful) Bugs, Glitches and Miscellaneous.Hyper Mode, Reverse Mode, and the Call Feature.This guide will attempt to explain these mechanics in a streamlined manner. Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness can be rather confusing to players, as they explain their new mechanics through character dialogue post-battle or memos and not through a tutorial like most other Pokémon games. XD made many improvements over Colosseum with nearly every aspect, as the Shadow Pokémon mechanics are much more fleshed out, wild Pokémon were added, and the animations and graphics were improved, to name a few. The sequel, Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, has more liberty in its Pokémon selection, as when it came out, Fire Red, Leaf Green, and Emerald were already released. This lead to Colosseum having a very limited pool of Pokémon to use for its main adventure. Pokémon Colosseum's main purpose, besides being a way to battle in 3-D, was to give access to Pokémon missing from Ruby and Sapphire, mainly the Johto starters and the legendary beasts.
The player can snag these Shadow Pokémon away from the trainers with the use of the Snag Machine and proceed to go through the process of purification to open the Pokémon's heart. Shadow Pokémon are different from standard Pokémon due to their hearts artificially being closed, which makes them battle machines. What separates the GameCube entries from the mainline handheld entries is the frequent use of double battles, the land of Orre having little to no wild Pokémon, and the existence of Shadow Pokémon, a unique type of Pokémon obtainable only in these games. Colosseum is the first in the series, while XD serves as its direct sequel. Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness were the first 3-D RPG Pokémon games created for the Nintendo GameCube.
