Gale of Darkness
We have some brand new screenshots from Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness for the GameCube.
Posted by John Grothier - GameCube,Game Boy Advance - UK and Europe

This November GameCube owners will sense a dark wind is sweeping across the land; corrupting everything in its path and threatening the people of Orre. Shadow Pokémon are everywhere and the fate of this land now rests squarely on the shoulders of one hero, a spiky haired young boy, and his Pokémon companions. Taking on this exciting role, can you save the Shadow Pokémon from the clutches of this evil organisation?! This will be your mission when Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness launches on the Nintendo GameCube on 18th November.

The sinister CIPHER organisation from Pokémon Colosseum is back! But this time they are determined that these super powered Shadow Pokémon will be unpurifiable. These Pokémon, have been captured by evil Trainers and had their hearts closed... they are only able to do the bidding of their evil masters. And with all new and even more fearsome Shadow Moves, these Pokémon are swift and effective in battle. These unique moves, including Shadow Mist and Shadow Half aren't available to standard Pokémon and are devastating to all Pokémon types . You will need to have your best battle-honed skills on you when you come across those Trainers who send two Shadow Pokémon into battle.

But that's not all, CIPHER have created the Ultimate Shadow Pokémon (eXtra Dark Pokémon), Shadow Lugia, who is specialised in fighting and has exclusive moves. CIPHER believe that Shadow Lugia can never be purified...

As the game's hero, you set out on an epic journey, along with your Pokémon companion Eevee, to 'Snag' and 'Purify' - these Shadow Pokémon. Shadow Pokémon are unlike any others and are not catchable using normal Poké Balls. However, your character's mother works at the high-tech 'Pokémon HQ Lab' supporting the brilliant Dr. Krane, who has developed equipment specifically to combat the Shadow Pokémon menace.

Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness is also fully compatible with Game Boy Advance Pokémon titles like Pokémon FireRed, Pokémon LeafGreen, Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire, as well as the forthcoming Pokémon Emerald. Using the Nintendo GameCube Game Boy Advance Cable, human characters from these games can be imported to Pokémon XD . After finishing the game players will also be able to trade Pokémon between Pokémon XD and the Game Boy Advance versions.

More - as we get it.
