You know what the best part about "Jovi is sad" is? It's unused. You heard me right. There's never actually a scene where she gets sad. She's too happy for that and so we never get to hear it in-game.

Greevil being evil shocked me so much when I was little for a different reason. When I first saw him, I thought, "He looks obviously evil, which means he can't possibly be evil because that's just what the game wants me to think." Of course, that lead to the inevitable, "What?! He actually is evil?! This is blowing my mind!"

[@HenSt-gz7qj]

playing the Japanese version truly puts me in confusion because most if not all the names were changed. Greevil's name in the Japanese version is Deathgold (デスゴールド) and that does sounds weird compared to Greevil (Great Evil ?)

[@evagarcia865]

@@HenSt-gz7qj Greevil is probably from evil and *greed* Because his Japanese name has “gold” and that’s how it was translated

[@Scorpionspear77]

“I don’t think anyone has actually battled Shadow Lugia” Chugga did. He said his strategy is to use the Master Ball on the last legendary bird in Greevil’s party, and I’ve done that strat a few times.

[@dragonmaster1500]

Wasn't that because Articuno has a really high catch rate, even compared to Lugia, or something?

@@dragonmaster1500 nope, Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres have the same catch rate as Lugia, which is the typical legendary catch rate of 3.

[@SemiHypercube]

0:43 actually he did do a playthrough of XD on twitch shortly after his Colosseum video went out! He hasn't made a video on it yet (though you can find it on his VODs channel) and his Colosseum vid came out like a year after he played it on twitch (it's like that sometimes)

[@TrueN8-bit]

17:32 The first time I got to that point in the game I was unfazed. Why? Because I completely forgot about the first encounter with that old guy in Gateon Port. I was probably around 10 at the time and I think about two months had passed between reaching Gateon Port and getting to this point. I don't remember why it took so long, but it probably has something to do with the fact I sucked at Pokémon back then, and I also probably set the game down for a bit. Anyway, I'm also really glad this game is getting some attention, especially since it's always overshadowed by it's older brother, Colosseum. Fun reaction, as is always the case. The little skits got me laughing, especially the door one. Looking forward to your next video.

[@harinandansrikanth2217]

XD: Gale of Darkness is not even close to the darkest Pokemon game when we have had Ghetsis manipulating N into being a freak without a human heart, Team Flare trying to exterminate all Pokemon, and Lusamine being an abusive mother who fuses with parasite and attempts to kill her daughter. XD is just Cypher turning Pokemon into minions.

[@TheShadow1347]

Also Ghetsis tries to kill the main character in Black 2 and White 2 using Kyurem

[@davidmckenzie9086]

Coughs in the entirety of Legends Arceus Pokémon legit kill people in that game and I'm guessing if Arceus didn't send us back in time everyone would be dead

[@netweed09]

But it's arguably just as Good if not overall better than those mainline games.

[@Rixec2]

I actually have both Colosseum and XD: Gale of Darkness. Got them when I was a kid and both are amazing. I really do want to see a third game one day.

[@TrueLucinova]

19:38 I battled Shadow Lugia as a kid, I only catch things in normal Pokeballs - even legendaries - and I've been doing that for as long as I can remember; it's never really been that tough in any game, but I suppose it did take a while in Ultra Moon, due to the sheer number of them lol I also wrnt through the effort of catching Necrozma in a Beast Ball, which _was_ insane since it isn't considered an Ultra Beast (leaving it with 1/10 the catch rate of a Pokeball) That was in base Moon btw, not Ultra Moon

[@TheShadow1347]

That's dedication

[@mrudulasrivatsa]

When I saw Jaiden uploaded this video, knew Pat would love it because he's talked about XD so much on stream

[@CountCivil]

Ya see... When I was a boy at the local mall with my Ma. I saw XD Gale of Darkness on the shelf, $20.00 used. I was told, "No." Henceforth, I'd decided to become a pokemon master and conquer the Ore Region. Then I forgot about it and some time later I got Colosseum instead.

I completely agree Patterrz, XD Gale of Darkness is much better than Colosseum. I loved it so much more when I was younger and still do. However in terms of protagonists…I do prefer Wes from Colosseum to Michael. He just seemed so much cooler plus it was so fun playing as an ex-criminal. Other than protagonists, Gale of Darkness is much better in my opinion

[@Bri_P_768]

Everyone doing a vid on this is what brought my attention to KZbin undoing my subscriptions again, I was beginning to wonder why I hadn't seen anything of Jaiden's in my subscribed vids feed in a bit.

[@peteypiranalover]

Fun fact Patterzz. The original plan for this game was the final Boss and the Leader of Cipher is Wes from pokemon collosseum. After the events of the first game he took over the evil team since the character had questionable morals to begin with. But Nintendo didn't want to do the darker route.

[@ps4pro668]

Gale of Darkness was a really fun game to play. I used Chugga’s playthrough to help me get through it and pick out which Pokémon I wanted to use on my team. I used: Jolteon Gardevoir Tyranitar Sharpedo Crobat Arcanine

3:14 This was my first and favourite Pokemon game, but I haven't played in so long that I could have details wrong (so correct me if I'm wrong), but the captain, we see again in... The Port place? The place where you first run into Zook and Greevil, I think? Idk, I struggled to look it up and am too lazy to properly search. He is in a building to the left of the start and he gives you whatever item you need to get your desired eeveelution. Either that, or it's a copy pasted model of another captain fella. As for the regular sailor, there are so many, idk if it's ever brought up in any dialogues. (Then again idk if it's brought up in the captain looking person's dialogue, it's just my only time remembering seeing that model in game.)

[@yddaniel402]

The two dudes from SS Libra actually survive, i don't remember at what point in the game but in a new's flash (yep, those on the tv's we almost never watched) they say they found them, i'm not sure if THEY were the ones who reported the ship being abducted or if the ship's missing was what caused for them to be searched for, i think it was the first option.

I never played XD, although I did play Colosseum. Unfortunately I did look into buying it online after watching Jaiden's video, and it is RIDICULOUSLY expensive online. Like, people are selling it for $50 for just the BOX, with no game inside. I haven't had luck at used game stores either - most of the time they either don't have it or they do and it's really expensive. I think it's a combo of it being old and also rare since it didn't get a huge print run supposedly (presumably due to those poor sales). Colosseum I don't think is any less expensive online either. 😢
