Now we just need TPCi to realize we need a remake or remaster of both games! Due to Dogs in Love’s popularity. I grew with XD being my second Pokémon game that I beat, with PMD1 being the first. Diamond was the first mainline one I beat. It would’ve been Emerald, but I didn’t know how to strategize as well back when I was in my late childhood/early teens, so I could never get past the Elite Four.

You underestimate how deranged the challenge run community can be. Anything that exists can be amped up.

Can we talk about snag technology The snag machine lets you STEAL ANY POKEMON. Its not JUST shadow pokemon, its just that the protagonists never DO steal non shadows.

[@mayday2237]

The second one has a failsafe. But yeah the first is just Ruri yelling at you if you try.

[@SohiHien]

as a kid this game introduced me to the idea of saving every 10 seconds and restarting a lot because the shadow pokemon are gone forever if they are defeated in the battle instead of caught. And they would often be hard to catch so I quickly learned to save all the time so I could redo any battle if I messed up on the catch without losing much progress.

[@KeroseneZanchu]

They actually aren't gone forever! They're just gone for the duration of the story - you can rebattle the trainers with them or find other trainers with the ones you missed in the post-game.

[@percher4824]

Unfortunately the game doesn't tell you that...

[@Wapfgaming]

You can't fully miss any shadow pokemon actually. Some of them are hard to rematch but you can always find them again
