New details and a new name for Pokémon XD, which will now be called Pokémon XD: Dark Winds Dark Lugia. Ooh, moody.

The latest issue of Coro Coro has new details, and lots of new pictures for Pokémon XD: Dark Winds Dark Lugia. The game will be similar to Pokémon Colosseum as there is still battling but there is a large RPG section as well.

The RPG section has been improved, with a beefier story and more things to do. The storyline, from what we know of it, has you playing as a very skinny male who...well who knows what he is doing but nonetheless he is armed with Pokéballs and the will to collect Pokémon.

The character will once again have the Snag Machine and an Aurora Searcher so that you can trace down Shadow Pokémon. You will begin with an Eevee, which makes me wonder if the evolution you chose will affect the game in any way. The currently known Pokémon that you can snag are Teddiursa and Lugia.

A "dark" Lugia is also very prominent in the magazine scans, and of course the game is named after it, so is bound to play a large part in this game. The game is due out in Japan on August 4th, so expect new info soon, if not next week during E3.
