Someone: “So how did you start your Pokémon adventure?”
Wes: “Illegally!”
"With a Bang !"
“Terrorism”
Arson
All of the above
With a War crime
Hey Colosseum, why are you such a hard game?
"The secret ingredient is crime."
Pokemon OwO
Colosseum
Whit no cops arround evrything is illegal
I don't know a game called Pokémon Coliseum
The true reason is "Illegally"
And another reason its difficult: the bosses use actual strategies like earthquake and protect, or rain danc ludicolos
Cynthia: I terrorize players with my Garchomp and Spiritomb.
Miror B: I annoy players with my team of Rain Dance Ludicolo and Sudowoodo.
Cynthia: I play piano and techno music.
Miror B: I play Latin and 80s music.
Cynthia: I'm a sexy Champion with flowing light hair and a stunning wardrobe.
Miror B: I'm a smooth criminal with an Afro and dance moves.
Cynthia: You are a worthy opponent.
Miror B: Takes one to know one.
God damn gorigon in XD kicked my ass several times
Skill Swap Slaking
Late game was pretty easy for me with flygon/skarmory earthquake spam. When I was a kid, it was rough af though. Lol
Or skill swap Slaking.
This is one of the most underappreciative games in Pokemon. It needs a Switch version.
FACTS
or a 3rd entry.
Pokemon in general needs more quality spin-offs that feel like mainline games. Genius Sonority made a quite literally _genius_ move by going the double-battle route. It completely changed the feel of the whole game.
Often when I mention this game to other people and talk about why I like it, I bring up the snag and Shadow Pokemon mechanics, because they're notable, but I should have been focusing on the double battle aspect because that's what I most loved about it when I revisited it this past week.
Seriously, it saddens me that no other Pokemon game does this (except of course XD Gale of Darkness, which I do intend to play next, I never did finish it and I only learned about it a few years back). It feels wrong to go back to single battles. Like a core element of what makes these fights so fun has been lost in favor of traditional combat.
Hell yes...
@@Lucifronz wasn't there that pokemon game for wiias well wich focused on doubble battles, I would argue that game was harder, if you didn't own daimond of pearl copy
"they didn't shove Lillie into a bag!" True, but Nebby wishes they did...
Payback!
Me too kid
Lol I thought the same

Smart
Nuzlockers: "I fear no man... but that thing,"
*points at colosseum*
Nuzlockers: "It scares me."
How would the encounters work for that?
Liam Scully they wouldn't do them. They just use shadow pokemon as them I they want to, I guess.
Its been done before. I forget by who. And yeah, first encounter in every major area is still valid. You can actually choose your encounter in pyrite town
Emerald Kaizo and Radical Red exist.
@@Dr.J42 you got point
This was one of my favorite games as a kid. Me and my dad would play, I'd tell him what attacks I thought would work well and we'd come up with strategies together. Such good times...
Sooooooooooooooooo.... You 2 liked crime and were bald then?
Even out of context "Is Wes okay?" seems like a very appropriate question.
the don't starve references
they hurt
Mikey: *Explaining the whole plot of pokémon colosseum*
Everyone: ok but what does that have to do with the difficulty from the game?
Mikey: We'll get there when we get there!
The plot and gameplay are tied together. One of the best stories.
And yet he never got to the point that this game helped the player catch all Gen II Pokemon to put on their Gen III games.

@@silverbullet1620 don't worry, people dumped the disc so you can get it with cheats nowadays
He has way more teeth than any other pokemon protagonists. All of them except him have 2 really long teeth. One on the upper part and another one on the bottom
Adventures May has the classic anime fangs
@@pokedude720 Nice.
and some of them dont have teeth at all
You mean Bidoof? 🤣
yeah one tooth stretches across the entire gums
if they get a cavity and they need to get to the tooth removed,
they cant eat for several months
I can't believe Pokemon Colosseum is so old now. I remember getting it when it came out and loving it SO much. I thought Wes as so cool.
Also, I thought the reason he started off with lvl 25 and 26 pokemon was because he was supposed to already be a competent pokemon trainer and not someone that you are following from their start.
yes, the idea is those pokemon were from Team snaggem and he was given them as his team members, in turn when he ditched team snaggem he "stole" his Umbreon and Espeon to come with him. not really to shorten the story like he said in the video more like a not shown plot point
Actually the summary screen for them says they’re Wes’ childhood friends, not Team Snagem’s Pokemon
True! Based on all the trainers' dialogue throughout the game, it seems to be implied that Wes is this astoundingly competent trainer whose so incredibly strong that he's basically undefeatable.
Colosseum and XD are my two favorite games in the series. They're fantastic and something I hope Game Freak will be able to match someday in the distant future. The whole game being entirely doubles still seems like a change Pokemon should've kept a long time ago, but sadly here we are.
They could have it like Emerald where there were a lot of flights that were optionally double.
It was actually made by Genius Sonority

Michael: Girls Like Bad Boys, Wes is a Bad Boy...
Other Pokémon Trainer: Seems Legit..
In addition to feeling like you're underleveled the whole time, especially against higher up Cipher, the Realgam tournament was brutal. A 4 trainer gauntlet battle, no healing in between, and they all have high level shadow pokemon.
Not to mention getting Ho-oh is one the worst grinds I can think of in the franchise
But oh boy was finally getting that Ho-oh something else. Nothing beat being the cool kid on the playground with a Ho-oh in their Pokemon Ruby.
I don't get how people are saying you feel underleveled? Are y'all just skipping over literally all the other trainers aside from the bosses? I've actually been _overleveled_ throughout the entire game (although I was only battling with Espeon, purified Meganium, and maybe Plusle sometimes, but my other party Pokémon are miraculously sturdy as trucks!), defeating like 60% of Trainers in a handful of OHKO's. The battles have only gotten harder towards the end, primarily the bosses and trainers using status conditions (also Evice is _terrifying_ 😖)

Oh and there’s one more thing to remember. When it comes to shiny Pokémon in this game, there’s a glitch that occurs after catching the Pokémon. The shiny check happens twice. Once when you encounter it, and again after you catch it. I’ve had a shiny shadow Pokémon lose it’s shiny after catching it.

XD is slightly more difficult only because the shadow moves are super effective on everything that’s not a shadow Pokémon. It makes trying to catch them jus a bit more frustrating.
Or much easier as you can just throw out your own shadow and be completely safe

I think this is the perfect time to bring Colosseum back. The Pokémon Colosseum and XD proved that you could deviate from the usual formula and be successful. There are a lot of older Pokémon fans now that will want to buy it for the nostalgia, difficulty, and playing a protagonist more closer to their age. I would not mind if they decided to add more shadow Pokémon or add Pokémon from other generations. I particularly want a lucario to be a shadow Pokémon. Shadow Aura Sphere!!!
yes.
I think it's mostly story reasons why the game starts you off at those levels for your pokemon. Wouldn't much sense for the expert thief of an evil team to have only 2 level 5s. It also would be kinda weird to have an espeon and umbreon at level 5 too. mid 20s makes a lot more sense on both accounts.
Also looking at wes’ Pokémon shows you his good heart as both are friendship evolutions.

Finally I found a comment about Mikey's butt. God why aren't more people talking about this scene!

Colosseum and Gale of Darkness is amazing!! Especially Gale of Darkness! Colosseum laid the foundation of this spin off, but Gale of Darkness fixed alot of things from Colosseum, updating and brushing things up!
This was my first Pokémon game at age 10. Replayed it again at 22, it has not aged well, but it’s still hard as hell.
Still aged well compared to gen 6
Me: has never played colosseum
Mikey: explains/tells us how edgy the protagonist is
Me, who likes edgy bois: I MUST FIND THIS GAME
Good luck. Its stupid expensive nowadays...
According to your name. You prefer the sequel
Then you'll like the anime SAO, the protagonist is edgy in the first half of season 1 (he becomes more mature though and leaves the edgy stage).
@@mastahrage9931 yea I agree about leaving the edgy stage but I prefer Tokyo ghoul season 2 where kan-edgy the badass was
@@croszx9499 I completely forgot kan-edgy lol. But then again I didnt enjoy season 2 as much as I enjoyed season 1.
This game in one phrase is 'hippity hoppity I just stole your property'
ye
Same for XD to an extent.
I picked this game up for one buck at my churches yard sale, great steal btw! I loved the game but I remember literally screaming at the last battle. I thought it was just me, who was a little kid who didn’t train well. (I trained Umbreon and not Espeon because I liked it better 😂 now I train both) and after many tries my Umbreon finally tanks it and survives solely.
No matter what happens or has happened, Colosseum and XD: Gale of Darkness will always be my favorite games ever. I have them completely memorized and I have written and published walkthroughs of them. I wouldn't mind getting it ported to the Switch but I'm probably in the minority that wouldn't want them as remakes or sequels. These games are too nostalgic and iconic to me and will always have a special place in my heart. Really wish my GameCube's lens would read discs better so I'd have an easier time playing them.
I also noticed you used screenshots at 16:47 from the wiki I created. Makes me happy they proved helpful 😀

Well Mikey, you’ve inspired me to finally beat this game. At the time of this comment, I’m currently about to face off against Cipher Admin Ein for the first time (and catch Raikou), and my team is still only around level 38 (excluding Entei who is still level 40). Admittedly this is without grinding, but that process would still take hours to do, even with the Exp. Share. As for hyper mode, so far I’ve counted 15 or 16 times that my Pokémon have entered the state, and every time it happens I always groan. I’ll update this comment once I have the final results.
Don't forget to get Ho-oh... It's far more brutal of a process then the rest of the game.
@@bvc5320 Oh, I’m sure it is. But I’ve actually stopped playing Colosseum. I got stuck at the Cipher Admin gauntlet and can’t get past them, which is odd because I did get past them when I was a kid since I remember getting stuck on Gonzap, who you fight after them. But at least I beat and completed XD, aside from Mt. Battle.
@@michaelnelson1127 Sunny (Wes) got past the trainer gauntlet including the final and the true final battle.

Best. Line. Ever! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The best thing to ever happen to me playing Colosseum was learning the infinite ball glitch, all the post-master ball fights were so much easier to manage. I still think the single hardest fight prior though is the first fight with Venus were you can catch Suicune.
To me the hardest moment was catching ho ho at the battle tower. Boy was the pressure up...
Raikou is probably harder imo; Suicune’s difficulty can at least be mitigated by using Net Balls.
Pokémon colesseum is one of my childhood favorites. I remember the big reveal of the ciphers boss. Wes is also just a badass. I love that he’s an older protagonist yet some characters refer to him as “kid” or “child”
I remeber being 10 years old and being stuck at the tyranitar boss fight for the longest time. Tyranitar still gives me PTSD to this day
That damn slackoth amiright
It was Suicune for me. Man she was tough
Michael: This game is so hard guys
Me: I regret having never played it and must play it now!
Honestly, the biggest reason is having to use the shitty Johto Pokemon. Look at the list he put up; the vast majority are absolute trash and really aren't even that "cool" for how bad they are. I would be so down for another type of game like Colosseum, but they need to have Pokemon that aren't so lame.
@@Prodigial that’s why they made XD.
@@Prodigial considering you can make Pokémon Sword and Shield hard if you try hard enough then yeah it’s probably that
This game was incredible. I wish this had spun off up to today and we could have something like Legends: Arceus but in this almost Final Fantasy looking world
I love reminiscing about this game; the double battle strategies, the Mt. Battle grinding while eating paddlepop pawprints, the first time completing the story with just my umbreon left. Transferring Pokémon over to my FireRed to complete the national dex for the very first time (needed Johto starters and dogs) is unforgettable.

2:45 Yeah, Colosseum was often heavy metal. It’s definitely a personal favorite among all games I’ve played along with its sequel.
Some fun facts about these two games effecting my pokemon history:
1-These games are why double battles are my favorite battle style
2-Gale of Darkness is why Spheal is my favorite ice type. His sprite was dope af, I called him Bubbles, and Walrein ran house on most of everything in the game when paired next to my Espeon or my Jumpluff.
Good lord these games were great.
Man, Colosseum was such a good game. Realizing it has been 17 years... dear im getting old!!
There's a great glitch in Colosseum where you can effectively duplicate pokeballs and never run out. Catching shadow pokemon is made sooooo much easier if you learn how the glitch works
The whole game is a bit of a challenge run, and really tests you as a trainer because you just have to make due with what you're given, which is one of the reasons I love this game so much.
I love Coliseum and Gale of the Darkness so much and it always makes me happy to see someone talk about them.
Kinda bummed that Grunty Boy's response to "it's a dump truck" wasn't "no it was a bus" but that's more of a squirtle joke I guess
I never realized how violent this game is
I really wish that they would have another game where you were a villain, and actually have you play as a villain. I think it would be enjoyable.

Thank you so much for talking about Colosseum and XD. Colo is my favorite game of the series precisely because of how different it was. And when I heard some of the dev story (ie they brought in outsiders to write it iirc?), everything made sense on the story. also, you bringing up the points on why it's harder made it easier for me to figure out why I love it! (also i found double battles easier? but maybe bc fly + earthquake combo)
also, imagine a slightly modified nuzlocke run of this. since there's already a limit on the pokes you catch, maybe tweaking the "first pokemon of the area" rule somehow to work within the game's framework. but it would make an already relatively difficult game even harder.

i would love these as remakes for the switch one day
God trying to catch Raikou was an absolute nightmare, but I loved this game and wish there was a remaster. Also, I remember that certain nature's determined which was the best method of bringing down a Pokemon's shadow meter, however you could only see the nature after bringing the meter down 3/5 the way. A trick I learned was to have a bunch of shadow Pokemon on your team, have your character walk into a wall, and then tape the controller stick to have them keep walking, since that was one of the methods of bringing down a Pokemon's shadow meter. Eventually you'd see some of their nature's become revealed (some sooner than others because they respond to walking better than say, Scents), then follow through with the preferred method of purification and start again with a different batch.
Also Mike, I wish you also talked about Mt. Battle in the video - the 100 trainer challenge that was required in order to get Ho-oh in Colosseum. I rember having to complete it Numerous times (though can't recall if it was Colosseum or XD) where winning with the SAME TEAM would grant you special ribbons and one of the Johto starters (this one was XD exclusive I believe), but man learning about the necessary parameters After already competing it the first time was gutwrenching.
I love these games, and as I stated, I'd love to see a remaster. Heck, even a continuation of the story in the region would be spectacular!
This game, alongside XD, also has the strongest AI in the series. You don't really notice in regular play (especially in Colosseum's first half which run with "stupid AI") since most Pokémon don't have good moves, but the XD postgame Colosseum can be really tough due to it.

I've always appreciated Colosseum for the double battles and shadow Pokémon. The double battle format allows for the use of strategies and moves that are worse or don't work at all in singles formats, and the limited Pokémon options forced me to use Pokémon I would never have used on main games, and I really enjoyed all of my playthroughs!
The Game Cube era was an interesting time for games. Powerful enough to have games with an expansive world, but not powerful enough for that world to be TOO expansive. This gave us many games that found gimmicks to spread stuff out. This game took place in a barren desert, Wind Waker had a "great sea" to travel from place to place, Mario Sun Shine had portals connecting worlds that looked like they were on the same map as the hub.
Man, I love this game so much. The fact that it was mostly story based and the premise was so cool made this my favorite Pokemon game. I wish they'd make a Pokemon Colosseum 3 because this concept needs more representation.
