Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness Gateon Port Recreated in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater
Pokemon and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater are two series that defined the world of gaming throughout the late 1990s and into the early 2000s. With Pokemon storming its way into pop culture and becoming one of the biggest video games in the world, and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater introducing an entire generation of gamers to skateboarding, the two gaming staples continue to sport legions of fans to this day. Recently, a creative fan of the two franchises designed a map that allows them to shred and grind through a memorable location from one of Pokemon's most popular titles, Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness.
