Yeah not every villian needs to be the leader of an evil team but I think in more recent games they've been doing a away with that Sword & Shield didn't really have an evil team as Team Yell weren't really villians just annoying and in my opinion a bootleg version of Team Skull the real villian was Chairman Rose and Legends Arceus doesn't have an evil team either.

I want to know why a Gamecube game, and a Wii game not only have better graphics, battle animations, models, but also a bigger Pokedex than current Switch games! 242 Pokémon - There are 242 Pokémon available in Pokémon Legends: Arceus 493 Pokémon - Battle Revolution is a 3D Battle simulator, featuring all 493 Pokémon, What is their excuse? Gamefreak has gotten way too lazy. I wish they'd take a year or 3 and actually just release a solid pokemon game, instead of the rushed crap that people continue blindly paying for. I miss when Pokemon games had real heart and soul put into them, no pun intended, but those games are a great example of when you could tell they cared, they tested the game from a player's POV, they made it charming, and... the battle animations are somehow even better in the 2D / 3DS versions, than any Switch game. Pokemon Emerald > Pokemon Legends Arceus.

While I do love the fact that they broke the trend of the protagonist being a goody two-shoes, it's a real shame they never did much with it. There was dialogue from npcs that hinted that Wes wasn't bothered much by petty crime like theft and the reason he blew up the hideout was because of an altercation between members of Team Snagem. It's implied that the argument was between Wes and the head of Team Snagem. I like to think that they were just a notorious gang but Cipher came to them with the plan of using Shadow Pokémon and this might have been where Wes drew the line. Unfortunately, this doesn't really amount to much aside from the confrontation in Realgam Tower. A great idea, but bogged down from the constraints of having a silent protagonist.

This is Colosseum's biggest disappointment imo, and it really makes me wish that they went with the original plans for XD For those unaware, in the original story Greeville wasn’t going to be the head boss of Cipher. It was going to be that you would find out that Wes wasn’t a good guy. Wes didn’t have pure intentions when taking down Evice in colosseum. Instead It was that he knew he was a skilled Pokémon trainer and saw a an opportunity to steal the snag machine from Team Snagem. He used that to get what he wanted, pretending to be a good guy and using everyone in the region to get a battle from Evice. After Cipher lost its boss, he would’ve become its new boss and doing a better job than Evice. They changed it due to thinking it'd be too edgy for a pokemon game and were worried that people who played XD first or replaying Colosseum would be miffed about playing the bad guy the whole time

Can't wait to hear you talk about Gale of Darkness; such a great game with the most absurd final boss in Pokemon history, I still can't believe they did what they did.

Man, I would love to see another Pokemon that is allowed to have this kind of edge. Orre is my 2nd favorite region after Hoenn, the desolate Mad Max styling of it is so unique to Pokemon and I wish Game Freak was willing to give this harsh atmosphere another try.

They did so many things right with Colosseum that it still saddens me to this day that they didn't take enough of the lessons from that game and apply them to the later ones. I understand that the other games make your character a generic blank-slate goody-two-shoes from a small town to make it easier for the players to project themselves into the character but I LOVED how they gave Wes considerably more depth by giving him a stronger backstory and a morally gray one at that. Made playing the game much more interesting and enjoyable. I was supremely disappointed when I played Gale of Darkness and found they more or less reverted back to the norm, making the game feel a lot more boring as a result. You've also hit a slew of the other highlights that make Colosseum a true hidden gem among the other Pokemon games. We're definitely not going to get another Wes for Scarlet/Violet but maybe one day if they ever do a Legends 2 they'll give us a more interesting main character to drive the plot forward.

The shadow pokemon are very interesting too, a criminal group using science to turn pokemon into malicious living weapons is twisted yet makes for a good plot. Even the main character himself formally being a criminal was nice choice as it adds mystery and makes him look like a badass.

Sometimes I forget that there are millions of kids who were born long after the days of GameCube and, thus, didn't get to play this game. :P I was 22 years old when the game released in the US and my sister was in high school. We clocked in so many hours on this game, though I guess that doesn't mean much, considering we did the same thing to every game we've owned. Don't get me started on how much of our lives we "wasted" on Puzzle League. 😆 N64 and GC will always be my favorite consoles. I'm glad newer generations can enjoy these amazing games. Colosseum was an incredibly unique game that my sister and I enjoyed a lot. We still have it. We rarely get rid of our games. Still have a lot of our old NES, SNES, PSX, and PS2 games. ❤️ We, sadly, never got Gale of Darkness. By the time I hunted for it, it was already way over priced. Someday...

That Pokemon expert being brought face to face with Entei is...such a magical moment to behold.

I've been wanting them to come back to this for years. The anti-hero MC (that they needed to expand on) that had an awesome character design, catching other trainer's pokemon to purify them, great animations, taking down an evil organization as the main plot, SIM battles, everything this game had to offer. This was the biggest turn for the series and it's sad that they never tried this again after Gale of Darkness.

Love seeing people try out the GameCube games, underrated entries in the franchise. Didn’t know you streamed on twitch and plan too at least watch your colosseum streams and XD if I can catch those.

I actually replayed these games last year, and for the most part, it’s a great time. I’ll admit that I got stuck on Colosseum at the Realgam admin gauntlet (which is funny because I remember getting stuck on Gonzap as a kid which is a later fight), but I did manage to 100% Gale of Darkness.

That would an interesting idea of giving the bad guys the non-focused legendaries of a game. Actually show that the generals of the evil team are a challenge instead of has more than 2 pokemon

In the attract fight. I got the fight down to my Umbreon vs her Vilploom. I was under attract and paralysis while the Vilploom was confused and paralyzed. The rng in the fight had me on the edge of my seat

Funny how I owned this game, played it multiple times, but can’t remember anything about it at all. Only that it existed

A few extra fun facts to keep in mind: -When you are affected by a sleep status condition, calling your pokemon immediately wakes you up (therefore defeating the entire point of having the awakening item in the game) -Every snaggable pokemon you can get are only from generations 2 and 3. There are NO gen 1 pokemon you can catch in your storied playthrough.

My childhood brain has tried its best to block out the Skill Swap Slowking and Slaking.

Colosseum and XD Gale, Were such fun games. As someone who's played every gen, These felt so fun and unique for their time. God they were such great games in my childhood. Easily in my top 3 Gamecube games

Oh my gosh! I had a strategy guide for this game too and I think this is the first time I’ve ever learned about Mirakle B!

1:37 Not all of them are thieves. Especially not Team Yell who are basically just a bunch of British football hooligans (apparently while football hooligans tend to commit several crimes and acts of straight up terrorism, theft actually isn't common among them).

Fun little thing I ended up figuring out years later after my first playthrough as a kid, the game actually does give you a decent way to grind up for the final Battles of the story Via the many other Colosseums throughout the Region. While the Phenac Colosseum is definitely meant for those who wanna train up non-story party members, the Pyrite Colosseum and the Under Colosseum are great ways to train because all the teams in those Colosseums are all Type based, so its perfect to raise certain types that are in need of grinding.

8:07 If Sega ever outsources another Space Channel 5 game and/or Samba De Amigo game (because they sure as hell won't make one themselves, just as they outsourced the Alex Kidd remake, Panzer Dragoon remake, Streets of Rage 4, etc), Mirror B should be a guest character on the release for whatever Nintendo console is the newest at the time.

It was fun playing Pokémon Coliseum years beck, the animation is beautiful and the story experience is entertaining. Thanks for this video! 😁

I never played this game or its sequel (mainly due to not having a GameCube), but what I've seen of them has really caught my interest. I really wish for there to be another game of this sort at some point in the future. Not necessarily a direct follow-up to the GameCube duology, just a Doubles-focused game in general. Thing is, I feel that Double Battles open up a lot more opportunities for difficult and memorable boss fights as well as creative player strategies/tactics than Single Battles ever could. (And since many people, rightfully or not, complain that Pokémon is "too easy", maybe a game of this sort would satisfy that crowd). I, for one, would love to rise to the challenge and see how clever I can get with the possibilities Doubles offer. And as Monger says, despite how much attention was drawn to their introduction in Gen 3, Doubles have always been incredibly underused in the main series (albeit Emerald at least tried), and then you have all these moves and Abilities clearly meant for Doubles (Wide Guard, Helping Hand, Heal Pulse, Plus/Minus, Telepathy, Healer...), but of course you'll never use them in a playthrough where the amount of Double Battles you'll face can be counted on one hand. It's sad, really. I get that we can get to see some of that in PvP and in Battle Facilities (Tower -& clones-, Frontier, PWT and such), but imagine getting to develop and adjust your Doubles playstyle over the course of a full-fledged campaign. It would be a whole other experience. One we haven't been offered since Gen 3.

I never had Colosseum but did have XD Gale Of Darkness and loved it until I got too scared to fight Shadow Lugia toward the end of the game and never beat it. I was a coward.

That Shadow Lugia was no joke! I tried to do a pokeball only run and even at near 1 HP and asleep, he still wouldn't stay in the ball. I threw so many at it....

I sincerely hope this game gets a proper remake, with all the bells and whistles. I miss Coliseum and XD.

Colosseum & Gale of Darkness are great

Great review this was my goldmine as a kid. This game made my childhood straight up

One of my favorite games of all time. Wish it was ported to the Switch

Honestly, I love how this game has its npcs use moves that in most games are exploits the players discover on accident.

wes: mhm yes these are my dogs umbreon: let me give you a crim-in-al kiss "Kisses espeon"

Just an FYI for anyone interested, in the past few months a hack for Colosseum called Pokemon Grand Colosseum has been released, and it includes things like the physical/special split, harder difficulty, fairy type, new moves and changed shadows. Definitely worth checking out if you want to play this old classic with a new twist!

There's also XG: Next Gen if you want one for Pokemon XD.

As a kid, I remember thinking all of my Pokémon were OP because I brought them over from gold. Just to not win a single gym badge 😂

love the vid Ive been listening to the soundtrack this entire week this vid help enforce my nostalgia

I can't wait to see your Legends Arceus video. I've put in a 100+ hrs and currently perfecting the pokedex

Some of the best childhood memories I have with the entire franchise...I absolutely loved this game and played it obsessively.

Hell yeah! Earliest I've ever been and hyped to see this!

They need to seriously remake/port or sequel this series. The one Pokemon game that I over poured hours into. It's just that good.

I miss this series so much. Sure, it had its flaws, but these are two of my favorite pokemon games ever. The story also felt way more compelling to me than most pokemon games, and I'm really sad that there likely will never be another Colosseum game again.

Take a breath man, that was fast. And now do a video about the second game, please

Finally another person who appreciates mirror b. Like I do and thank you for talking about mirakle b. I didn’t know he existed now I can fight him

I have played through this game so many times and I am only now finding out about mirakle b. Well that’s it time for another playthrough!

I loved this game as a kid. I’m sure I would enjoy it now. This and Pokémon Stadium are the ones I would request for a remake/remaster

Yo, who remembers the unlimited/infinite pokeball glitch? Man that saved me on trips and money good times, good times!

Mirror B is doing a tree only challenge run until the protagonist ruins it

Jumpluff or Ampharos or even Plusle are handy to use; they come with all sorts of status moves to make snagging stuff easier.

The Pokemon animations in these games had life & soul. Not how it is today. I've nothing to spend on games with me trying to just live here, so I'm encouraged to emulate this instead of just worry about the "next best Pokemon game"

I wish I never sold off my copy of Pokemon Colosseum and its sequel Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness on Amazon nine years ago...

I'm glad they havent forgotten this series if they bothered bringing shadow pokemon into GO but hopefully it just hints to a revival of this spinoff in the future. Not only did this introduce a good way of getting new pokemon but the syndicate is my favorite even out of the mainline evil organizations..a team that solely goes for conquering by weaponizing pokemon by closing their hearts is the most brutal thing without being too crazy like "resetting the universe" or something. It even shows with how much stronger a shadow is than their normal form so it adds for a bit of strategy while dealing with them. Even the double battles was fun in these games. Besides this series came out when only gen 3 came out. We are into what, 8 now, so there's a lot more potential to have a mix of pokemon to make as neat shadows to catch. Most likely it'll have to take place anywhere but Orre though with the type of pokemon we know are already there.

As yes, smart AI… (remembers the Chuggaaconroy compilation of misdreavus being hit by normal type moves)

The best part about Mirror B: The Music The second best part about Mirror B: The Ludicolo seem to dace to the Music

I still miss mini games. I'd still play this if there were minigames

I honestly LOVED this game and wished I still had it. 10/10 would play again
