[[File:colosseum_xd_3037.jpg|frame|''[[Pokémon]]'' gets [[Darker and Edgier]].]]
'''''Pokémon Colosseum''''' and '''''Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness''''' are spinoffs of the incredibly popular ''[[Pokémon]]'' franchise for the [[Game Cube]]. Produced by ''Nintendo'' and ''Pokémon Company''-owned Genius Sonority and released in 2003 (2004 stateside, ''XD'' in 2005), the games are notably [[Darker and Edgier]] than the rest of the series. The series takes place in the desert region of Orre, where there are no wild Pokémon to be found. So how do you accomplish the usual task of catching and raising your own small army of adorable little forces of nature then? You [[Values Dissonance|steal them]], mainly from the bad guys.
Line 10 ⟶ 9:
The sequel, ''Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness'', was released the following year. ''XD'' scaled things back a few notches by replacing the [[Anti-Hero]] main character with a [[Kid Hero]] called Michael and cleaning up Orre so that it's not quite as gritty as before. The plot this time revolves around "XD001": a [[Olympus Mons|Lugia]] transformed by the Cipher crime syndicate into a Shadow Pokémon supposedly immune to purification. ''XD'' added a few new features, such as "Poké Spots", small areas where you could lure and catch wild Pokémon and a method for mass purifying Shadow Pokémon, Shadow Pokémon now have a much greater variety of moves than just Shadow Rush.

Line 86 ⟶ 83:
* [[Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism]]: Much more cynical compared to the main series and ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon|Mystery Dungeon]]'' games. Lightens up a bit in XD.
* [[Spiritual Successor]]: ''Colosseum'' is one to the Nintendo 64 ''Stadium'' games.
* [[Stealth Mook]]: The cipher Peons aren't always visible in the overworld like most enemy trainers. When you step into their aggro radius, these stealthy ones will jump down from the ceiling and ambush you. One even ambushes you right after you use a cramped elevator, and follows you out of said elevator despite not following you in.
* [[Stripperiffic]]: Some of the female civvie and hood Trainers dress in this fashion, but no more than the average [[Pokémon Gold and Silver|Rockette]]. Cipher Peons ''averted'' this before Galactic Grunts did - slimmer [[Faceless Goons|Faceless Goon]] suits are all you get if you're XX. Venus and Lovrina are somewhere between the two.
* [[Top-Heavy Guy]]: The Bodybuilder Trainer class.
