I still have my original gamecube copy. Was an enjoyable game.
If they let that Lugia form be transferable to Home and modern games that would be awesome!
From what I gather NSO games won't be Home compatible, and this is part of the reason why FRLG weren't put on NSO.
Even if XD is Home compatible its also certain that you wouldn't be able to transfer Shadow Pokemon. Back in the day you had to purify them before sending them to GBA games.
Legendary.
I’m surprised they dropped this in the stream but still didn’t mention when Colosseum is coming.
