After trying their hand at Colosseum, it seems that Genius Sonority, a relatively new company, have discovered the two strands that make a great Gamecube Pokemon game - the role-playing adventure and the Game Boy interaction. Here's hoping that the next game will bring XD's better half together with Colosseum and Stadium's focus on linked play, and make the recipe even tastier. But as it stands, XD is a straight Pokemon RPG.
