>>50136778Doing the Postgame in XD right now after beating Colosseum a few months ago and I do think it's better in most ways. Not only is the shadow pokemon list expanded but this game primarily focuses on Hoenn and Kanto Pokemon instead of Johto like in Colo, so you have much stronger options and fights near the end have solid teams with the expectations that you aren't using shitter mons like Jumpluff. You can also save whenever you want instead of at PCs, purify pokemon passively, and encounter some wild Pokemon. Can't comment on the speed but it's probably the same as Colo, I played on an emulator with speed up enabled so I can't really tell
