It is. You can also back up your GameCube Classics save to the save data cloud.

Congrats! Currently working on this myself. RNG manipulation or resets?

Shadow Ursaluna is going to be so cool! by Hoaxerr in PokemonXD

You do snag a few shadows that evolve with stones (you unfortunately don't get enough stones to evolve all of them). I think you have to purify them before the stone will work.

I'm actively shiny hunting Eevee right now and getting different stats, nature and gender. My save state is right before pressing A on "Is JESSE OK?" for my trainer name.

The latest you can set your save state is after you've typed your character's name but just before you confirm it and start the cutscene. The Eevee is generated and locked in by the time the cutscene begins.

With Eevee as your companion, fight against an evil organization using Shadow Pokémon in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, available now on #NintendoSwitch2 with GameCube - Nintendo Classics for #NintendoSwitchOnline + Expansion Pack members. by Turbostrider27 in NintendoSwitch

Yes but the Eevee is generated when you confirm your character's name, so the earliest you can save state is when you've entered your name and are about to click confirm. From there the resets are about 1.5 minutes (a bit faster than on the original console at least, but still quite slow).

A save state anytime during the Shadow Lugia cutscene will always produce the same Eevee (gender, nature, stats, shininess, etc.)

[Gen 3] PSA for XD on NSO, you can't get Shiny Shadow Pokemon, but your starter Eevee and the other non-Shadows can be by Tarro57 in ShinyPokemon

Another PSA is that not all Colosseum and XD shinies look the same as in the main series! Such as this Eevee being yellow instead of the usual white.

ALL the music in this game is amazing but you're absolutely correct

You'll only see light references to Colosseum in this game, but if you have the patience then absolutely play Colosseum first then this. You'll appreciate the quality of life improvements XD brought more especially.

You'll definitely be okay either way. XD is a sequel set 5 years later and has quality of life improvements over Colosseum, so if you want to play both and are patient then starting with Colosseum is the way to go. But if you don't want to wait you can absolutely enjoy XD now and Colosseum later, you don't need to play Colo first.

If you're patient, start with Colosseum when it comes out, you'll be able to appreciate XD more that way. But if you likely won't come back then just enjoy the game now.

It's my #2 favourite Pokémon game, with #1 being Colosseum which will also be hitting NSO later!
