'''''Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness''''', released in Japan as '''''Pokémon Ekkusudī Yami no Kaze Dāku Rugia''''' ('''''ポケモンXD 闇の旋風ダーク・ルギア'''''), is the second role-playing game from Nintendo's Pokémon franchise for the [[Nintendo GameCube]]. It is the successor of the GameCube game ''[[Pokémon Colosseum]]'', and takes place in Orre, the setting of ''Pokémon Colosseum''. Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, FireRed, and LeafGreen can connect to this game through trading and Battle Mode.

== Problems ==

=== GCN-GBA Connectivity ===

In stable releases of VBA-M, the GCN-GBA connectivity does not work properly, causing severe slow-downs to the point where both games timeout before an emulated connection can be established. Although unstable and barely functional for Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, the recommended releases of VBA-M to use the GCN-GBA emulated hook-up are the [http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/vbam/files/Win32-Wx WXVBAM versions]. You may need to import the battery save that matches the game running in VBA-M while the GBA BIOS is active for Dolphin to establish the link properly. The save type for the compatible GBA Pokémon games are ''Flash 128K'' if automatic save detection does not work.
