what would ya rather?

[bishpenguin]

shadow rush a la colosseum or the whatever number of new shadow moves?

imo i liked shadow rush + hyper mode. base 90, critical hit + effective against all types. it made pokes like ledian somewhat stomachable for me. now i get this silly reverse mode that has no benefits and somewhat mediocre attacks. blaaaah.

yea yea i know in xd theyre super effective - and if you times it by two - anything higher than a base of 45 damage is better than shadow rush, but i just like the critical hit and base 90 on all pkmn... made it easier to raise all pokes instead of just some in xd.

then again - ive only played xd for like 3 hrs... so i havent seen the other stronger shadow attacks yet.

oh and a supplementary question: do you like the shadow or purified version of pkmn better?

I love the purified and the purified only. The shadow ones make me think of darkness and they make me mad.

I like Shadow pokemon personally, they're so deliciously malevolent, like me.

I like XD, cause I just played Colloseum today and was like "WTF?! Colloseum is way inferior to XD!"

I like purified PKMN better, cause they are more versitile. But there are some Shadow PKMN I like.

Get Hitmonlee, Electabuzz, Arbok, etc. and see the sheer chaos that ensues from Shadow Half.

Shadow Half is the godsend of all moves. It's like Raticate's Super Fang on crack. You get to half EVERYONE's HP. While that, and the recharge drawback may seem a bad thing, it's a godsend while fighting Greevil. It saved my butt and I only DIDN'T catch Moltres from it.

Back on topic, for the above reason, Shadows are way better.

Besides, we have more than just Shadow Rush now. We got Storm, End, Panic, and Half, the saviors to Shadows.

I liked having different shadow attacks rather than just Shadow Rush.

It made it more interesting, and some of the screen effects for the new shadow attacks were cool.

Got variety?

I like purfied pokemon, but I LOVE Shadow Lugia.

[Numel]

Except this time around the shadow pokemon got a MUCH needed multiple shadow move choice which I enjoyed greatly.

[bishpenguin]

i guess. i think i just liked the high critical hit ratio from hyper mode - which i really do miss in xd.
