The Dem-fiend is a favourite design of mine; the simple fashion, the cool tattoos, and those great shoes... the hairdo less so. ✂️ So imagine my excitement when I'd be vindicated decades later by SMT artist Kazuma Kaneko revealing he based it on Josh Hartnett's infamous look from 'The Faculty'.

Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness was first out 21 years ago (2005) – and ported to NSO this year.💜 Prepare for trouble! ~And make it double [battles]! This neat spinoff has you purifying dangerous Shadow Pokémon from Team Cipher's evil ploy. Review + Media: www.rpgfan.com/game/pokemon...
