>>43139758I liked the concept of Shadow Pokemon. It was interesting at least and allowed fofr a different game style. It also made teambuilding more interesting and actually important. Many opponents had neat strategies and hard battles. The fact every battle was doubles made everything feel more strategic. Getting Ho-Oh was also pretty nice and rewarding.
My biggest complains about the game were the edgy protagonist, how tedious rage mode was, and how ridiculous was than the opposing Pokemon fainted itself with Shadow Rush before you were able to catch it, especially when this happened with the legendary dogs, and the lack of minigames, the purifying time was also hellish. Fortunately, many Colosseum problems were fixed in XD, although I'd have preferred another reward for Mt. Battle like a Mythical instead of a Johto starter you can already obtain in both Colosseum or Emerald.
>>43143015I think he's talking about an exploit where you can get "more" Pokemon by trading a Nincada, evolving it into Ninjask and Shedinja, and trading both back for another Nincada and another Pokemon. It's a very slow method, but it's the only way you can get more Pokemon in your save file as far as I know.
