"Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness" will be released in October 2005 in North America. The release date for Japan has been confirmed as August 4th. Nintendo have promised a "dark and sinister" plot for the game, a "serious plot, because Pokémon is serious business." While some fans have expressed reservations over this, given similar promises made regarding [[bp:Pokémon Colosseum|Pokémon Colosseum]] which some mature fans feel were not kept, it is impossible to know at this point what the plot actually is, and thus impossible to actually comment on its maturity level. One can safely speculate, however, that once again, the plot will involve "snagging" dark Pokémon and purifying them. Additionally, Nintendo of America has released a number of new screenshots. Several previously released screenshots have also been released in a higher resolution. {{Clear-right}} [[Image:BulbaNews XD New Screenshot 01.jpg|thumb|180px|left|[[bp:Snorlax|Snorlax]] using [[bp:Hyperbeam_(move)|Hyperbeam]]?]] [[Image:BulbaNews XD New Screenshot 02.jpg|thumb|180px|left|From left to right: 'Main Character', his little sister Mana and an yet unknown Trainer]] [[Image:BulbaNews XD New Screenshot 03.jpg|thumb|180px|left|Shadow [[bp:Lugia|Lugia]] flying at night]] {{Clear-left}} [[Image:BulbaNews XD New Screenshot 04.jpg|thumb|180px|left|Shadow [[bp:Lugia|Lugia]]]] [[Image:BulbaNews XD New Screenshot 05.jpg|thumb|180px|left|[[bp:Arbok|Arbok]] and [[bp:Jolteon|Jolteon]] in battle]] [[Image:BulbaNews XD New Screenshot 06.jpg|thumb|180px|left|Shadow [[bp:Lugia|Lugia]]]] {{Clear-left}} [[Image:BulbaNews XD New Screenshot 07.jpg|thumb|180px|left|'Main Character' and Mana]] [[Image:BulbaNews XD New Screenshot 08.jpg|thumb|180px|left|[[bp:Butterfree|Butterfree]] in battle]] [[Image:BulbaNews XD New Screenshot 09.jpg|thumb|180px|left|Some guy and the 'Main Character']] {{Clear-left}} [[Image:BulbaNews XD New Screenshot 10.jpg|thumb|180px|left|Shadow [[bp:Arbok|Arbok]] and [[bp:Jolteon|Jolteon]] in battle]] {{Clear-both}} Trailers are now available from IGN and Nintendo.com ===See also:=== * http://media.cube.ign.com/media/716/716652/vids_1.html - Trailer for Pokémon XD at IGN * http://www.nintendo.com/gameminiav?gameid=d5ee1100-0385-4455-b6ad-df678c8da714 - Trailer for Pokémon XD at Nintendo.com
