> > Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness > Battle CDs 
One of the big new features of Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness is the Battle CDs. Behind that unusual name are simply around fifty discs that let you play virtual battles at the Realgam Tower.
Of course, these battles are a real challenge, because they are all about strategy, with very specific objectives to meet.
Either way, you can always use this little guide to find every disc and become a master strategist! For more information: [email protected]
