I am still appalled that a pokemon game all about double battles and with limited pokemon to catch would give you a Plusle and never a Minum to pair with it. The one game where that ability might matter to the player and they squander it.

5:47 - In Pokemon Colosseum, the catch rates are different from the mainline games. Using the same catch rate calculator from dragonflycave that you're using in the video (with Entei's HP set to 1 with Sleep status), there's an option to select if the Pokemon is a shadow Pokemon, so it's actually a 23.416% chance of being captured under those conditions. It's still really tough (and it'd be challenging in itself to get Entei into those conditions), but it's technically not as bad as what it would be in a mainline game.

@JustNachi3 күн бұрын
@@GreenBlueWalkthrough Except anagrams are established names for a particular type of thing grammar/English-wise. Like how you wouldn’t call a comma a period because of the little tail it has. Truthfully, though, the only reason I even realized and can go on this tirade is because there was an old word game that I remember from Neopets where you had to unscramble anagrams into their proper words within a set time frame. If you had to guess a word like “Meet” but they threw it in as “Meek” instead because they liked the letter K, then the player would be mad that it wasn’t an actual anagram like the description described and how they would they have been expected to have gotten “Meet” out of “Teek” or something anyway. Well, that and I remember people petering on about Es Cade’s name in regard to this game. I did not mean any offense, just was mostly laughing at myself.

I remember watching my older sister playthrough Colosseum as a kid(we didn't realize it was a single player game because we were dumb)she definitely struggled badly vs Dakim. Considering how much of a difficulty spike he is it makes sense. Earthquake + Protect combo in the first double battles focused Pokemon game, not to mention Entei's level and high BST, was quite the hurdle for a kid to overcome. It did not help that my sister only bothered training up Umbreon, Espeon and Plusle(she thought it was cute). She did use shadow Pokemon as well, but since a lot of them suck and all they knew was Shadow Rush they weren't much help. Also, Trails in the Sky music used for BGM found in the wild. Booyah!!!

Thanks for the great video showcasing one of pokemons most underrated fights and having a channel focused on this cult classic! Which this video made me realise how much this game influenced my tastes for game design I have been using the poast 13 years as gaming press and the past 5 years as a game designer... Both in a good and bad way such is colossem being an extremely mixed mixed bag but is rembered foundly for all it quite an achment... Which is the first time I have felt this way to a peice of media that influenced me so greatly... To learn so much both positive and negitve from a single mid to long length game in casul play times of corse. Which I would not have reviewed all that well back then and defnational not if it came out now... But unlike the vast majority of mixed bag games colosseum as aghed like fine wine.. Despite it being a exact same ganme it was and feeling the same way to play then it did... Which is really weird like not even the most broken on launch games with the most funding don't change how I feel about collossem... Like it never had much bugs or anything it was just 50/50 on the game design... Which Pokemon is kinda know for... Having perfectly working games with a mix of design chouices you may like or not... that are good or not... Colossem just makes it painfully obvous.

The first time I fought Dakim as a kid, I remember just barely getting him to send out his last pokemon with only two of mine left alive and when I saw it was Entei my little mind was blown. I started questioning everything. Only the player was supposed to get legendaries, did that mean Dakim was the main character and I the npc? It sure felt like the main character just kicked my ass. It was the first pokemon fight in my life I seriously struggled with my life at that point. And funnily enough this super hard fight motivated me to play the game more than any other pokemon game. I just kept trying to beat him over and over again. The prize of getting an Entei for winning was too tempting and I was determined to prove I was the main character not him.
