      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.

    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.

    • @Fallen_Pup
      @Fallen_Pup Рік тому +1

      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

      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_ 😖)

    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!!!

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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
