Pokémon Colosseum - Bonus 1

[@animekirby100]

For the Snag Machine thing, I think it gives you the ability to take a Pokemon that already belongs to a Pokeball and put it into another Pokeball, because I don't think that's initially possible. Rui just prevents you from snagging a regular Pokemon, because "NO!".

[@Bardguy5623]

My theory about the snag machine is this: The trainer blocks the ball, but the hand goes around the trainer, to the shadow Pokemon, (because the shadow Pokemon are the only Pokemon affected by the snag machine) and the hand turns the Pokemon into that flash of light, the hand takes whatever the light is (I don't know, data?) back to the Pokeball, and that's the process. Basically, the trainer blocks the ball, but the hand extends the ball's range past the trainer, (maybe through the trainer, as the hand seems almost holographic) and to the target.

[@spencerbowden2979]

From what I understand it’s impossible to catch a Pokémon that is registered to a pokeball. There has been a case in the anime where Dawn tried to catch pikachu and the ball let him go. Dawn immediately said “that means you have an owner”. The snag machine seems to have the ability to nullify whatever the poke balls do to keep them from being caught.

[@damienthonk1506]

[@Lazer_Specter]

Less ridiculous than Emile's explanation/theory but yeah that makes perfect sense actually.

[@ryandennison8754]

It'd be a real pain to reset for natures in this game considering that they're not revealed until you purify them for a bit.

That's why nobody does that in this game.

+Kalli T I was being hypothetical.

[@seancheney1991]

I do lol. I have no life. No but what i really do is look at their stats and if they look a bit funky ill reset until i like them a bit more. like if a furret has higher special attack than physical there is something wrong.

[@seancheney1991]

Just in BW

[@verdethestarwarrior1088]

Natures are preset in this game. Each Pokémon has the same nature every time, so resetting will only change the Pokémon’s ability

i love how in pokemon colosseum and pokemon XD you get to actually steal pokemon from people

[@juuichimikazuki2863]

But it is for a just reason. These pokemon would continue to suffer if you DIDN'T steal them from these trainers. Especially in Colosseum, where if you didn't interfere Cipher would continue to have a stranglehold on Orre and continue to create tons more.

[@Zeromega159]

i think the snag machine is less holding the trainer back and more grabbing the pokemon before they can block it. because as the hand comes out of the ball, its likely that it pulls it in instead of the ball fully reaching it, like a modified 'return beam' that you see balls produce in the anime

[@corentingraulier4133]

That was a very well planned ambush. Skrub ain't no scrub.

[@saberiandream316]

It's in his name!

[@naxgulengames9863]

First off, I believe the technical lore is that you can catch trainer pokemon with your P-balls. However, unless given up willingly, the trainer I.D. # will not allow you to transfer it to your ownership. Thus making it so you cannot use it in any official battles. As you can only use registered pokemon for things like gyms. Also, the PC will alert authorities to your action. This is more of the real life/anime reason. For the games, they just have the trainer block to ball to prevent you from doing something that would get your character arrested in the games. The snag machine however, erases the former trainer ID and replaces it with your own. Now for the people in the stadium. I agree that the vast majority of them were there before you however, you must not count any that would be employed by the bad guys as they would not count as visitors. That means you must take out any bosses, peons, and guards at a minimum. thus making it even more realistic that you could be the 1000th visitor.

[@derpofnerf6673]

That is likely true because when you succeed in snagging a shadow Pokémon the trainers I'd is erased from the pokemon's poke ball at first, but purifiy a shadow Pokémon your trainer I'd is added to replace it. Very likely the hand is to make the ball still reach the Pokémon anyway.

In Pokemon Origins, which is based off the games, the Pokeball just flat out didn't work, so idk why the games have the trainer blocking the ball. Maybe the trainers just aren't aware that they won't work anyway? The Snag Machine likely does overwrite the ID info, but Shadow Pokemon seem unable to even have ID info, as it doesn't appear at all until the Pokemon is purified.

[@weavileforce3654]

Let's see...choosing to play by the luck of what you get as opposed to resetting the game to get good natures on your Pokemon, it seems like the *fun* way to play. It isn't a serious competition, so why put so much effort into catching the pokemon with "perfect" natures, when that doesn't have much of an effect on the game itself?

[@andypark7314]

Although I agree that you shouldn't reset for the "right" nature, those that good have a good reason. Having a physical pokemon with an attack decreasing nature can make the difference between winning a match or simply damaging an opposing pokemon.

[@Skullmasta]

From all that ive learned throughout my years in pokemon, considering all the hints weve had for pokeballs from Mewtwo strikes back to this, i think that, the way it works is, that when a pokeball hits a caught pokemon, and catches it without a snag machine, that pokemon will be bound to 2 pokeballs, while the snag machine removes the bind from the other pokeball, and only binds it to the one it threw.

[@ChaosContrl]

[@agentredhead4612]

The nice thing about rewatching this series is being able to go back and actually see what natures these Pokémon had. And sure enough, the only ones who had good natures were Espeon, who had a serious nature, that didn't buff or nerf anything, Quagsire, who had sassy like Typhlosion, which raised special defense and lowered speed, and I guess Misdreavus, who had a mild nature, which buffed it's special attack but hurt its defense. I believe Forretress had a careful nature, which raised its special defense and lowered its special attack, which isn't horrible, but out of all of them, Granbull easily got the worst one: Bold, raised defense and lowered attack.

It may have been because Teams Snagem and Cipher are working together so he stole the snag machine and destroyed Snagem's base

[@cyndaquilofpower2562]

Then what did he have against team cipher?

[@blade_of_rage]

if i recall correctly, both Wes's starters, espeon and umbreon start with return in their moveset, kinda implying that Wes values his pokemon and is affectionate towards them. Cipher closes pokemon's hearts and Wes might not be okay with that

[@gummybearchewy5444]

deadmadnessguy I do know that in the sequel the plot that they where original going to do was that Wes did it so he could make his own evil organization from ciphers ashes. Learning from ciphers mistakes and how someone could possibly destroy an organization. He would become more successful then cipher ever could. It would then be up the the antagonist in the sequel to put him in his place. However I do not know if this was there intention from the start of the series or if this was an after thought that did not make the cut. Either way I wish they had went with it. It would have made such a great twist and given an already great character so much more depth.

[@nothingmorethanageminiboar4929]

My personal headcanon has - since I first noticed, at least - always been that he's not actually a good guy. It's implied early on that he was the best snagger for Snagem, so I believe it was partly smug/haughtiness and part teenage boredom/rebelliousness and just wanted to "spice things up a bit." It was Rui and everyone "good" he kept running into that dragged him into being a hero.

[@CrazyWS]

[@ShadowDRGN]

Yeah, It makes me wonder though; Wes has quite high morals: being kind enough to fight off those M.B. Scrubs and save Rui and also bold enough to take on Cipher and even handle the highly dangerous Shadow Pokemon. What I wonder about is why Wes was with Snagem in the first place, he's better than them, and he's not the kind of guy who would steal Pokemon from innocent people. Little side note: Wes kinda reminds me of Roxas from KH; They're both good guys who just hung out with the wrong people.

[@ClefairyRox]

The Snagem Hideout is the main place to go to if you missed Shadow Pokemon from Cipher Peons in the main story. A random Peon that had/has a Shadow Pokemon will drop on you when you pass that opening near the PC, which is why Chugga got jumped by a couple of them. It's really mean when you want to heal, though.

this is late but think anime. one time ash is an idiot and throws a pokeball at a trainers pokemon. it does nothing, and the trainer yells at him. but because of team rocket stealing pokemon everyone is scared. and in later games the other trainers in other regions heard about the snag machines and block it because they are scared of you stealing their pokemon. just a theory though.

[@TheNinwii]

my theory on the snag machine is that it uses technology similar to the pokeballs mewtwo used to steal trainer pokemon in the first movie. But in that movie, it was the pokeball itself that had the "snag" ability. In this game, it appears like the technology was altered and placed within a mechanical arm which can change the ball to have snag abilities.

With what you were saying about being able to catch other trainer's pokemon, I remember in the Anime during Jotoh this kid wanted to catch Ash's Pikachu. And Ash was freaking out because he could lose Pikachu, so with the game saying the trainer blocked the ball and Ash's situation with Pikachu in Jotoh, I think that the Snag Machine really was just something for the game to say," Here go catch this pokemon. The trainer is using it for evil and stuff."

That wasn't what he was trying to point out. He was saying that in the other Pokemon games, the trainer blocks the ball if you attempt to catch their Pokemon. However, in this game you can somehow catch the trainer's Pokemon with just a help of a machine. His theory is the hand that pops out of the ball during the animation is holding the trainer in place, so they watch helplessly while their Pokemon is being captured.

[@WilliamX5000]

There could be a possiblity that 2 hands pop out of the Poke Ball, one for getting the Pokemon and one for holding the trainer.

[@CralexKokiri]

I've always thought of it as trainers blocking the ball out of courtesy to their Pokemon rather than fear of it working. I imagine that a normal ball would refuse to capture a Pokemon with an OT number, but a Snag Ball would have this restriction disabled, possibly with added functions to overwrite the old OT number with your own. This would make it hard to prove that a Pokemon was stolen unless there were witnesses.
