Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness coming to 3DS!?

MegaDrive20XX

Segatron Genesis... call me the wizard.
That spiky-haired character is holding a Pokéball, the game is on the 3DS, and that's Agate Village from Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness.

For more than a decade now, Pokémon fans have been clamoring for a console version of the role-playing games that set Nintendo's handhelds on fire, and for year's they've been getting watered down crap. Console titles like Pokémon Colosseum, Pokémon Battle Revolution, and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness gave players a small taste of what they really wanted, but kept the full Game Boy and DS experience just out of reach.

So now, instead of giving players what they want, it looks like Nintendo is porting one of the games they didn't want to the 3DS. This makes perfect sense.

The redhead in the scan is definitely the main character from Gale of Darkness, and Agate Village is a location visited in both Gale and Colosseum's adventure mode. Since both games feature similar locations, perhaps they're combining both.

If the scans prove true, it looks like Nintendo is ready to bring the experience of being disappointed by a Pokémon game to the 3DS. Seems like a smart move to me.

Woow..... The only pokemon game I have LOVED since the days of the game boy color is coming to the 3DS?????!!!! SIGN ME UP!!
 
Actually I really liked Gale of Darkness. It was the only console version that came somewhat close to the gameplay of the handheld titles. I would get a 3DS version.
