Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness/Unused Song Filenames
This is a sub-page of Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness.
Unused Song Filenames
In Pokémon XD, there are quite a few unused music files. Rather than deleting the unused music files, the game's developers replaced the contents of the file with what sounds like the cry of the Pokémon Pidgey, making each of these music files sixty-five kilobytes (this is also the shortest length for a Pokémon cry). Thus, forcing the game to load any of the tracks listed below will simply play Pidgey's cry once. The filenames themselves, however, are still notable. Oddly, most of the filenames seem to originate from pop and rock songs from the 80s and 90s as well as a few films released around the turn of the century perhaps as placeholders or for testing purposes.
Like the majority of files in the game's data, all of XD's audio files are in the fsys format.
