>>47865533Colosseum was great. One of my all time favorite games. You're not some 10 year old living in safe fantasy land, but a 20+ something gangster who has had a change of heart and goes about trying to set things right. You wander a desolate land controlled by gangs, corrupt mayors, and a crime syndicate. There are no cops to save you, no places to run to for safety. It's just you and your Pokemon watching your back. Your crusade for redemption brings you face to face with your former comrades. The story was freaking awesome.
XD was pretty meh, IMO. You're back to being some kid in some happy fantasy land. There are cops, the Under has been filled in, and most towns are free of corruption. Orre feels less desolate as there are more lush areas like the scientist's overgrown mansion, and you can catch wild Pokemon. The world feels safe and the plot is boring.
