What do you mean "they don't gain any exp once purified?" Well duh, if you use a cologne massage scent or a time flute they erase all currently gained exp on the shadow pkmn you are using them on. Did you not know that? LITERALLY ALL shadow pkmn gain exp when used at one of the 2 lead spots in a battle, and at purification they gain all that exp. You either battle to purify OR use cologne scents, you cannot do both.

[@katieb9428]

I personally loved this game growing up. I got it as a present from my parents. When Rui was introduced and they had the option to name her I thought “Awesome! This is a two player game so I can play with someone!” So I named her Dad thinking I could play with my dad. It wasn’t a two player game and some random NPC that was a girl named Dad just followed me everywhere lol

The bonus disc is amazing. I bought it second hand for $20 in high school thinking it was the actual game. I didn’t get the actual full game until freshman year of college. This game is great, although the beginning is a bit tedious as espeon and umbreon don’t get many moves early on

[@zoinksscoop20yearsago68]

YES. But without changing the Pokémon in-battle movement nor their body length to the current ones. Those were full of charm compared to the newest games...

[@storymaster21]

One big issue in this game is the fact that it takes forever to purify the shadow pkmn, and that the cologne scent items and time flutes [only 3 in game] remove ALL exp when even one is used on any shadow pkmn. This means that you might spend hours grinding in Mt. Battle or other places to drain the meter to zero and gain exp for leveling, and after all that you use a cologne scent to get that teeny tiny bit of the purification bar to zero, and unknowingly erase every single one of the exp points gained. You basically have to carefully choose what you want to do to purify and what you want to purify. Because battling takes hours and hours, and the cologne scents take tons of money, but in the end you get the same results. But should you mix the two, it just erases all the exp.

[@custom-r]

Whoa really? Never knew that. Geez. I recall beating this game but not once did I realize cologne scent does that.

[@ethosterros9430]

Purifying speed and method is based on natures. If you get a good matched nature then its pretty fast but yea the legendaries take time no matter what.

[@HybridAngelZero]

I remember how excited I was when I got Colosseum. I was already an avid RPG fan in addition to loving Pokemon, so a darker Pokemon game with a vibe that reminded me of Trigun or Wild ARMs was just awesome. Also, here's a really cool sort of trick/ bonus thing: normally, since this game has no wild Pokemon, you can only get a finite amount, but if you want to add a Pokemon to your Colosseum game from a GBA game while still keeping all your Pokemon caught in Colosseum in that game, just trade one Pokemon for a Nincada from a Hoenn game, evolve the Nincada in Colosseum, and boom, you have two Pokemon from just that one, and you can trade to get your other Colosseum mon back and trade to add a new Pokemon to the game as well!

[@unwithering5313]

Well played

Came for the Nostalgia, stayed for the banger tunes and the insane story this game brings. 10/10

[@DirgeCrowley]

I seem to remember the guide for this had misprinted all the postgame teams as having levels in the 80's when in reality they're all in the 60's. Not just one trainer, all of them. Made me grind to a high level in Mt. Battle before attempting them only to find out i was now ridiculously overleveled

[@Surfermario]

Everytime you would engage in a battle boss music would play .

[@LadyTorix]

Oh god, I remember getting that damn Ho-Oh. It was a big deal at the time, since you couldn't really get one any other way. (Except events, maybe?) I still have the bugger in Sword/Shield/Pokemon Home, along with most of the other shadow Pokemon because I transferred them over the years. Which is honestly kind of wild that I have Pokemon that are nearly 20 years old.

[@CC_ThePhil]

5:16 the guide explains 3/8 moves wrong here. For Taunt, they actually describe the Encore effect, they don't specify that Snatch only works for status buffing/healing moves and they say that Reflect is stackable, which isn't the case.

[@rooislangwtf]

At first I thought they mixed up Reflect and Barrier, then I re-read their description and now I have no idea which move it could be.

Thank you for this video! I FINALLY played through Colosseum just last year! What sucks though is that I got my copy used and it had a few small scratches. Luckily I was able to finish the whole game and transfer my Pokemon to a GBA cart. But... when I got to the LAST FIGHT in Mt Battle (the 100 round post-game version) the game crashed - meaning that my Mt Battle progress was gone. As badly as I wanted that Ribbon (which, we're talking full-lockdown times here, so it was pretty bad) I wasn't about to spend several hours/days redoing the entire thing for nothing due to a few small scratches that were on the disc.

My brother and I spent hours and hours on this game in the house we grew up in, taking turns in the 1p campaign or linking our gameboy advances and battling with our RSE teams. We'd always fight about which pokemon to keep on the team in the campaign, and once I accidentally KOd the shadow Yanma and he was so mad at me we didn't play for a week. All of these silly memories, this game, the time I spent with it... all very cherished to me.

yes, randomly blow up a random innocent mayors house the entire region would be after your head. you need to cover your own ass. you cant kill the faux affably evil bbeg with good publicity until they are outed as the bbeg unless you want to be arrested. same as killing baby Hitler. if someone just shows up and kills a random baby that is not going to be well received.

I personally love Colosseum and DX the most out of all the Pokemon games because of the focus on double battles. The change results in both new strategies and making previously mediocre/bad moves somewhat useful (Seriously, a skill-swapped Slaking is terrifying). The soundtrack is absolutely masterful and fit the environment perfectly. Best of all, the trainers in Colosseum and DX generally have decent AI and Pokemon, compared to the main series where I find trainer AI questionable and their team composition irrational outside boss characters.
