The game once again takes place in the [[Orre]] region, about five years after the events of {{pkmn|Colosseum}}. In their second attempt at world domination, the criminal organization [[Cipher]] has created a [[Shadow Lugia]], codenamed ''XD001'', claimed to be immune to purification. A young {{pkmn|Trainer}}, [[Michael]], aims to defeat Cipher and prevent their plans. | The game once again takes place in the [[Orre]] region, about five years after the events of {{pkmn|Colosseum}}.

The game opens with a shot of the [[S.S. Libra]] cruising through the sea, when suddenly some helicopters appear overhead with [[Shadow Lugia]], which picks up the ship. The sailors fall out and watch in awe as it flies away, carrying the ship with it. | The game opens with a shot of the [[S.S.

Much like {{pkmn|Colosseum}}, Pokémon XD features a similar 3D gameplay to the [[core series]] of Pokémon games. Mechanics in [[Pokémon battle]]s are directly adapted. Also, similar to its predecessor, Pokémon XD features mostly [[Double Battle]]s instead of Single Battles. Unlike in Colosseum however, [[wild Pokémon]] can be found, albeit only in specific places called [[Poké Spot]]s. | |||
===Changes from Pokémon Colosseum=== | |||
{{cleanup|section}} | |||
Some changes have been made to the region and gameplay from Pokémon Colosseum: | |||
*The main character, Wes, is replaced by Michael. Michael's starter Pokemon is a L10 Eevee instead of a L25 Espeon and L26 Umbreon. | |||
*Gameplay is less challenging until the post-game in Story Mode. | |||
*PCs now have 8 Boxes, and access to the Purify Chamber. The Save function has been removed from PCs, replaced with a Save option in the menu. | |||
*Hyper Mode is renamed Reverse Mode. | |||
*Shadow Pokemon can't be put in the Day Care. | |||
*Shadow Pokemon now learn exclusive Moves via purification. | |||
*Shadow Rush's power has dropped to 50 and no longer causes recoil damage. | |||
*Multiple Shadow moves have been added alongside Shadow Rush. | |||
*Shadow Moves are now super effective against non-Shadow Pokemon but not very effective against Shadow Pokémon. | |||
*There is now a '+' next to an opponent's Shadow Pokemon's level. | |||
*Battle Mode has been dropped, though the Orre Colosseum has been incorporated into the post-game Story Mode. | |||
*Calling a non-Shadow Pokemon raises its accuracy if it's not asleep. | |||
*The Orre Region map got a makeover, and is now viewed from a 3D rather than a top-down look. | |||
*Pyrite Cave, The Under and Phenac Stadium are inaccessable. | |||
*Pyrite Building has been turned into ONBS. | |||
*A Purify Chamber has been added. | |||
*Wild Pokemon, in-game trades, a Move Relearner, Battle Bingo and Battle Sims have been added. | |||
*Strategy Memo is automatically updated. | |||
*In Mt. Battle, you are no longer asked if you want to advance to the next zone. | |||
*Areas 1-3 of Mt. Battle are available from the start. | |||
*Mt. Battle trainer levels now go up to Level 70 and trainers now use Legendary Pokemon. | |||
*TMs 07 (Hail), 46 (Thief) and 37 (Sandstorm) are gone. | |||
*The books in the basement of the Phenac Pokemon Centre are now described as a Hoenn/Kanto region research. | |||
*Time Flutes are gone. | |||
*Poke Balls can now be bought at most Poke Marts. | |||
*There are now stricter conditions for trading with the GBA games. | |||

The game's setting is in the [[Orre]] region, which has been altered after the five years that have passed. More [[wild Pokémon]] have started appearing, but Orre's land is still much less inhabited than other [[region]]s. Pokémon XD features locations not present in Colosseum, as well as landmarks such as [[Mt. Battle]] returning. | The game's setting is in the [[Orre]] region, which has been altered after the five years that have passed.

A girl's Bonsly can be found inside the [[S.S. Libra]] after it appears in the desert. This Bonsly is apparently a Pokémon that Cipher forgot to take to [[Cipher Key Lair]]. After saving Bonsly and taking it to the girl in [[Pyrite Town]], she will allow the player to use a special [[Battle Bingo#Bonsly Card|bingo card]] at [[Realgam Tower]], which features Bonsly as a playable Pokémon. | A girl's Bonsly can be found inside the [[S.S.
