Orre is an arid region, with almost no Pokémon in the wild. Instead of catching in the grass, you use a machine to snatch Shadow Pokémon from other trainers' hands, in the middle of the fight, and then purify them.
Almost every battle is a double battle, the tone is darker than usual and the opponents play seriously. Colosseum opens the story; XD, from 2005, continues it years later, with more species and a corrupted Lugia on the cover.
It is for you if you
- Want a Pokémon RPG with a different mood
- Like double battles
- Had a GameCube
Maybe not, if
- You want to explore: here the world is small
- You miss catching freely

Pokédex
Orre has no regional Pokédex: the cast is the Shadow Pokémon snatched from opponents, and that list is not in the public database the atlas uses.
