Extra Dimension

I may be wrong here, but I was under the impression that it's Extra Dimension because this game takes place in another dimension, different from the regular Pokemon world? And in this dimension, there are Shadow Pokemon, and the like. -Dalkaen 13:38, May 24, 2005 (UTC)

The websites I've read indicate that it was told or implied to them that "Extra Dimension" is referring to either the 3D graphics or new gameplay features. Example [1] -Luigi2 00:54, May 25, 2005 (UTC)

I have a Pokémon XD promotional poster that confirms that is is Extra Dimension. -- ~PinkDeoxys~ 01:36, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
Also, the game box says "Welcome to the Extra Dimension" MegaCatZero 05:31, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Known obtainable Pokémon?

Maybe I'm simply out of the loop (which is unlikely with Nintendo games), but where are some of the Pokémon on this list coming from? Most specifically I'm doubtful about Mewtwo, Rukario, and Deoxys. I have a feeling this is either ignorance, vandalism, or a combination of the two. Can anyone clarify on the issue? -Luigi2 | Talk 22:29, Jun 9, 2005 (UTC)

Legendaries removed. I'm iffy about some of the other unlikely additions (like Seviper and Snorunt) too. --Un-logged user
We don't know if any 4th generation Pokémon will be catchable yet. The current version of the list matches the Serebii list. Sonic Mew 07:38, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)
I've removed vandilism from XD's list of obtainable Pokemon and its driving me nuts! I think its the same person vandilising the article...maybe? Evilgidgit 21:11, Mar 17, 2006 (UTC)

Battle Disc

Okay, we need contributors to help gather info about ALL 50 Battle Discs, if you want to contribute, please respect the format I'm using...

Please don't. That'd make a great FAQ on GameFAQs, but we don't need a list of all 50 battle disc battles. - A Man In Black (Talk | Contribs) 04:46, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

Future tag

Do we have to keep the future tag? The point of it is to say that contents could be speculative, but as the game has already been released in Japan, it isn't! Sonic Mew | talk to me 20:30, September 12, 2005 (UTC)

Well, right now the contents are mostly speculative, and it technically hasn't been released in English. If someone who actually knows something about it wants to rewrite the article to be about the game rather than a summary of the previews of the game, well, that's when I'd take off the future game template. - A Man In Black (Talk | Contribs) 06:32, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
I rewrote it like that when the game came out. But then you removed a substantial amount. And confirmed info isn't speculation. It has been released, therefore it isn't future anymore. Sonic Mew | talk to me 16:58, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

Correct Release Date?

Is the NA release date right, I was just at Best Buy and picked it up; according to the data box, it's not due out until tomorrow, and GameFAQs lists September 28. -- VederJuda 03:12, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

For some reason, a lot of shops started selling it a few days before the official release. Sonic Mew | talk to me 18:27, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

GameCube bundle

Would it be prudent to note that there is a GameCube bundle available with Pokemon XD for $99.99? Alex 07:43, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

I'd say so. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 21:33, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

LONG Story

Hey, does anyone think the story is a bit overboard? I mean, there are a lot of good points about it, but it doesn't need to show every single detail, right? Dee man45 23:44, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

I'm actually surprised that someone bothered to type out the whole story...a small summary would be nice, but this? O_o Blue Mirage 20:32, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
I like this. Besides, those who may need info on the story if they wish to write fanfiction or something like that could look it up here. And it could also give good information on characters that do not have articles yet. Evilgidgit 21:06, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
I think the Story section turned out well after all. 67.182.178.220 00:19, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Cleanup

I just went through this article. Here is the notable items:

  • Deleted the lists of Pokémon ("Obtainable Pokemon" and "4th Generation Cameos". Belongs in a Wikibooks entry, not on WIkipedia
  • Shortened the story section. There are FAQs for those who are playing the game or want to know more detail; they don't belong here. I made it into a general overview of sorts.
  • Various cruft and GameFAQs-like items from the remaining entries.
  • More specific detail when needed. For instance, Shadow Pokemon are not "guided to normalcy," their hearts are opened. (Unlees it's changed for XD, then please change it back)

Let's try to clean this up. - Hbdragon88 00:27, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

I'm going to add some more of what needs to be taken out; I'd just like somebody else's opinion first:
  • The Preview section seems a bit stupid. I don't know why anybody would care about this information.
  • The Nintendo Promotions is a good candidate. The demo can't be found anywhere right now anyway.
I will sort the characters in order by initial appearance in the game for now.PrimeCupEevee 19:54, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

I disagree with the deletion of most of the Story section. It is ridiculously short now, and it might as well be sub-categorized. I think more should be included. More Story,Kevin 20 5 23 26 22:57, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Perhaps it could be lengthened again, but I'm hindered by the fact that I have yet to play this game. I say that the story section I wrote for Pokémon Colosseum is a good length. If you want to add to it, go on ahead. But WP:NOT#IINFO states this: "plot summmary", not a full-length blow-by-blow account. hbdragon88 00:22, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

obtainable pokemon list

Can some one make an obtainable pokemon list?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.57.116.217 (talk • contribs) 15:28, May 21, 2006 (UTC).

Um, no, please don’t. The PCP has determined that such lists are unencyclopedic and should be removed from game articles, not added. -- WikidSmaht (talk) 23:55, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Shadow MOVES

Just a reminder that there are Pokémon MOVES, not Pokémon attacks.

Merge Michael (Pokèmon) into this article

That article should be merged into this one due to most of the information, if not all, being in this one. Dr Doomed 06:36, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

I agree. He's not prominent to have his own article. -Sukecchi 17:54, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
I also agree. Maybe if he appears in sequels, then he'll deserve his own article. Hardcore gamer 48 04:47, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Oppinion

The phrase "more proof he's lost his mind" is completely oppinionated. He can think very well, as is proven when he takes the Robo Kyogre and makes it into a machine to help you. I think someone should revise that. I also think that the resemblance to E. Gadd should be put in a trivia section instead of the character description as it is rather out of place. Sincerely, Kevin 20 5 23 26 18:51, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Uh, what? Are you mixing Pokémon and Suepr Mario Brothers together? hbdragon88 20:05, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Sequel

This looks like the sequel to Coliseum to me. 67.188.172.165 21:09, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Ali and Pichu?

Who's idea was it to rename the main character? Also, the player never gets a pichu, certianly not as a starter.--Wii Kid2 14:06, 5 August 2007 (UTC) (FYI, i edited out all of the refrerences to this in the article

It was vandalism, thanks for fixing. SpigotMap 18:55, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
They did it again...--72.146.115.101 23:49, 15 August 2007 (UTC)


Ok, I've fixed again, whoever did this should be reported for vandalisim.Wii Kid2 (talk) 01:14, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

You can get a totodile,cydaquil, and a chicorita by beating Mount battle without changing your party! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.110.214.52 (talk) 23:06, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
