I'm sorry but I have a HUGE soft spot for Colosseum. The battles gave me a moment of excitement and seriousness before 3D Main Poké games were a thing. I love the Pokemon's 3D models. I remember having a crush on the main dude as a kid and idk why outside the standard physical appearances. The music is very wonderful to me. Like that Relic Forest theme gives me so much emotion that I rarely get from other soundtracks and I used to listen while looking at the pokedex. I swear, I think I'll get some fangasm listening to the soundtracks fully. Or just cry out of nostalgia and bittersweet memories. Tbh, I couldn't tell what gender Miror B was specified because they look androgynous to me growing up, but hey, they got a nice design and was one of the first game characters I've seen with an Afro. I wonder how many people talked about how haunting it was to face the final boss without music, like the game couldn't have a song that best fits the situation in a somewhat good way. I really wanna see more games like this and have been waiting for years for such.

[@tgags123HD]

I got the Ho-Oh :) There's an unlimited Master Ball glitch for catching shadow Pokemon and a glitch that allows you to purify the six Pokemon in your party while not playing/overnight, but even with them it still takes a lot of time! Not sure if some people consider it illegitimate to take advantage of glitches, but it will certainly make your life a whole lot easier.

[@ElekktrOde]

yo, can you explain how to do the glitches? also, to get ho-oh, do you need to use your playtrough team?

[@tgags123HD]

@@ElekktrOde I don't remember exactly but there are tutorials for both on KZbin. I know the master ball glitch has something to do with using it during your first Pokemon's turn and then going into your items and switching its place in the bag on your second Pokemon's turn. To purify shadow Pokemon there's a specific corner in Agate Village where if you walk into it at a specific angle your character keeps walking and the game thinks you're moving (which purifies shadow Pokemon). So if you set it up and rubber band your control stick you can purify Pokemon while you're sleeping, or a work/school, etc. I used my playthrough Pokemon for the battle tower challenge to get Ho-Oh, but I don't think it's required. You can probably bring in Pokemon from other games.

That would be polarizing. I'd rather them expand and refine the traditional formula in 3D rather than reinvent it. These games are spin off's for a reason. So they have creative freedom to do something different. I'd love to see the same type of creative freedom in a mainline game, but I wouldn't want them to try and reinvent the formula.

Pokemon Colosseum actually happens to be my favorite Pokemon game of all time. Not only is the selection of shadow pokemon bad, but the opponents teams are also ALWAYS filled with better quality and higher-leveled pokemon, something that really made this game difficult for me haha. I went more in-depth on specifics of this game, like the art direction, influences, and themes this game's story went into. In no way am I self-promoting, just in case someone wanted to know more about how Persona 2 influenced this game, or how the jagged rough art style came to be for this game, I talk about that on my channel and how Colosseum is my favorite.

You mean the Snagger Leo 1-shot manga? Or would we have gotten something epic with a guy name "Colosseum" being epic? Admit it we all wanted Colosseum & XD to get Special Adventures mangas, although it probably would have interfered with the quality of the mangas we actually got if it happened. At least Gale sounds like a real name that the boy in Gale of Darkness would have. Pyrite Town always felt like it was 1/3rd of the game, so we could probably expect the Manga to capture that feeling if it ever happened. Maybe someday some fan will make a manga for Colosseum? For some reason I get the feeling that Dakim's Entei would probably prove unsnaggable in the 1st Battle & happen in Realgam Tower in the manga. 90 Chapters of Colosseum & 90 more Chapters of XD would be awesome to see someday, even if it had to be fanmade. I keep imagining what it would be like for these 2 games to get chapters that are to the side of the accomplishments of the Pokedex Holders.

I played this and while I had a great and exciting experience building my team and divising Doubles and capturing strategies (this is its strongest point imo), I noticed some glaring flaws. The very limited mon selection, the slow pacing of battles, Shadow-type being very undeveloped, lots of backtracking in dungeons bc No Fly HM, etc. Really wish they did more with Wes in this game, easily the most unique character in design and experience yet it's another silent protagonist... Also, the Shadow Pokemon concept reminds me of the 4th movie where Iron Mask used those Dark Balls to corrupt and fortify Pokemon. I wished to see this in a Pokemon game and I got it!

i HAVE that HO-OH. i very recently completed my full playthrough of ALL gen 3 games, including XD and Colosseum, it was good fun. plus i had the bonus disc which gave me Jirachi! too much time spent finishing the pokedex. (i cry that mew, Celebi, and Deoxys will never be filled out on those cartridges)

[@HistoryandReviews]

AR codes dude

[@ElekktrOde]

did you have to use the playthrough team to get ho-oh? or you can use any team?

[@wesnohathas1993]

Easily my favorite Pokemon game aside from possibly XD Gale of Darkness. Genius Sonority knew how to make a Pokemon game way better than Gamefreak would like. It's so good, it even served as the inspiration for my username.

So here's someone that found this a year later, I found a great let's play of this series by a channel called whattageek and it got me hooked I had to get the game. Bought it, played it on Dolphin and I completely loved every second of it and yes, I spent the time to get Ho-Oh. Each battle takes a minimum of 3 minutes with the top 10 taking more like 6-7 minutes each, some up to 10m, the final battle, well, I had 82 continues when I started, and 80 remaining when I finally won it, but it was so worth it. Now to figure out how I can take some of these amazing Pokemon with me to my Pokemon Home, I'm sure there's a way with a DSi and Gen V but that's going to be a mission in itself.

Good luck

Watching this after having beat the game a few weeks ago is so relieving 😌

[@AJponyAPschannel]

I was finally able to finish the game this year with the legendaries

[@worldofmonterra]

I wish gamefreak and the Pokemon company get the rights to this game and make a remake

[@BluePhoenix_]

Then we would have bad animations, Gamefreak shouldn't touch Genius's masterpieces.

[@toblerone1729]

Don't let GF get their mitts on this masterpiece

[@riotkitty]

That would be cool. However Nintendo owns this game, if you desire a remake, they’re the ones to go to.

[@pelagiusseptim3454]

now I want a Colosseum remake because of you

[@xDinomanx]

Some of these battles were VERY difficult. I tell you what though, the team I had by the end which consisted of Espeon, Umbreon, Feraligatr, Flygon, Entei and Tyranitar is one of the strongest teams I have ever had. That Tyranitar you catch in this game from Evice is a MONSTER with some of the best coverage moves of Gen. 3 at the time (Tyranitar also being one the few pseudo-legendaries and a TANK too).

[@andrebraga3839]

True People know " EL RHYTMO" Yes i'll join your gang dubby

[@captainh5329]

Honestly I would rather not see these games making a return seeing as how lazy current GameFreak is i'd assume all the mons would have the lifeless new models instead of the decently fancy gen 3 models. They really botched sword and shield and all previous 3d games.

[@johnhawkins5314]

Is worth bearing in mind it was Genius Sonority who developed this, so if they were to do it again, we'd be fine.

[@captainh5329]

Nano Tenko very true still in the realm of remakes the diamond and pearl one will be a botched mess I am 100% sure of that

[@shinydnb]

I played this game tons when I was younger and I still do! Played it last week even! Just finished my playtrough and went on towards XD for another run :)

[@madeinheaven1860]

I will never forget this game, played it so much when it first came out, good memories

[@Dragonballwatchrb]

Oh yeah, I managed to that Ho-oh.

[@ItsReallyGeo]

Same. OT: Mattel

[@ElekktrOde]

you had to use the playthrough team to get ho-oh? or you can transfer a team from gba?

[@artilleryisbetter]

This game was indeed the HARDEST but did have a great soundtrack. Can't wait for this to be remade or released again for Switch

[@jamesfidler1818]

That mount battle challenge was fun

[@kindasomeviews]

i just wish they went all-in on the protag, and had him do way more than steal the snag machine and taking down the leader. we needed more cutscenes that was like the opening, and this was the perfect time to make him up there with Red

[@imperiumregalis4193]

Give me a remake of this with custom character creation (being able to make my very own character) and I'm *Good-to-Go*
