Let's Play Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness

[Skyblade]

So, having discovered most of the secrets of the Purify Chamber, it's time to find out what I'm supposed to do next.

We've been back like ten minutes, and she just got finished with making the Purify Chamber work.

His name is "Datan"? Wow, he was doomed to a scientist's life, huh?

Ok, I'll fight the bad guys and capture all the Shadow Pokémon, but I'm not going to do a fetch quest upstairs just because you're too lazy.

Yay, go Jovi! I told you she was awesome!

GXXE01-8.png

Stop trying to insert yourself into my family. You're not good enough.

GXXE01-9.png

Have some patience, dangit! No wonder nothing gets done around here when you're constantly bugging everyone for status reports.

...

Jovi is more than capable of telling someone to come here. Just wait.

Ha ha. No.

Heck, handing kids control of something like a level 50 Salamence is not nearly the best way to train them to fight in Pokémon battles.

GXXE01-16.png

You imply that they once were.

GXXE01-19.png

Am I ever going to meet this father of mine?

So the only reason Jovi couldn't get the Data ROM was because Datan ran off. It's his fault, not hers.

Great. Downstairs it is.

This guy is worried that all the Pokémon on the cruise ship may have been turned into Shadow Pokémon. We call this "foreshadowing".

While this news article does raise some questions about the quality of ONBS's reporting, I have to love the reference to the fact that random NPCs only replay a single line of dialogue.

This game is on the GameCube. There are no achievements. Unfortunately.

GXXE01-32.png

Baby? It's a Kirlia. Ralts is the baby form.

GXXE01-33.png

It might be easier if you actually leave the room.

GXXE01-35.png

Great. More running around.

Dangit, Datan. You've wasted this entire post. Where the heck are you?!



I've realized that this has sort of become more of a riff track than a standard Let's Play. I'm thinking I should probably start doing more summary and less comments on each and every line of dialogue. Otherwise this game will take forever, and you all will probably lose interest. I mean, I have 50 folders filled with pictures (10 to 25 apiece, based on post length at the time) that I've been using, and I still have almost 100 pictures either cut or waiting to be used.
