I'd like to say this new pokemon game is really interesting, but sadly, the graphics don't look good. I hope they will make it just the way it should for the Gamecube.

I don't have any review for this game since I haven't played it yet. It's stupid reviewing when it didn't came out yet.

Finally, they're coming out with a new stadium game. I've played pokemon stadium 1 and 2, and always wanted one for gamecube, and here it is. This one has all 391 pokemon, and you can compete in 2 on 2 battles. There is an RPG mode where you are a thief, and you go around capturing other trainers pokemon. then you can send these pokemon to the GBA and use them in Ruby and Sapphirre. That is the only non-cheating way to get old pokemon in to R/S. If you want to Know more, go to www.serebii.net(something like that)

My favorite

I like this game because I like snagging other people's Pokemon. I like doing battles on Mount Battle. I like going on adventures in different places. It is my favorite game because it's fun doing the tasks in it.

It Rocks

For those who have loved Pokemon on the gameboys and for those who loved battling pokemon one on one in 3d environments on the N64 this is the two worlds combined for a fun, interactive game in a new manner of looking at things.

The graphics are a great leap from the limited resources of the original pokemon games though it is still not without a few flaws. In story mode you start out with two pokemon (Espeon and Umberon). The game is very easy, a child could easily master the game but there are plenty of storyline puzzles to be solved like any great RPG to make it challenging enough.

The only thing I didn't like was that you could not change the way you view things there is only one angle in the playing mode. You can go into your pokedex and view the individual pokemon and turn them in any direction but that's it. It was easy and fun enough that it kept both myself and my young sister entertained for hours. It's rare that I buy video games but this was a definate purchase!

Worst Pokemon Game Ever

Pokemon Colosseum is easily the worst Pokemon Game to come out since "Hey You Pikachu". In Colosseum you play as an ex member of Team Snagem who must use a stolen device to pirate Pokemon that has become evil (a.k.a. Shadow Pokemon). You search for these Pokemon in the Orre region, a desert wasteland not known for many wild Pokemon. You fight Pokemon belonging to trainers including Street Performers, hunters, Cool trainers, Reseachers and Peons of the Chipers, the organization who created shadow Pokemon. Once you have a Pokemon with a black aura swiped from a trainer you must open there heart then purify them. Once rid of their evil they can be trained and registered into colosseum mode. Unfortunly story mode isn't very long and can be beaten within a few days. The whole concept of stealing others Pokemon is a good change from catching the wild ones but this is not a very well done game. Not recommened.

Pros
- Good Graphics
- Great music
- a new twist on Pokemn

Cons
- Short story mode
- Lot of text diolog
- Only one save file and you can't copy or move game data from one memery card to another.

Disappointing

Well, I was quite a bit disapointed by this game. I have played all the generations of pokemon for GB/GBA starting with yellow version, and they all share a lot in common. For example, you are a starting trainer, a professor gives you your first pokemon, you have to fight your way through gym leaders and defeat the evil villain team along your way to fighting the elite four. You can catch and train pokemon in the wild.

Pokemon Colosseum is very different. You're an evil villain turned good, there aren't gyms but stadiums which aren't important to the plot, and there is no wild in which to catch pokemon. Plus, maybe I'm not doing a good job of playing it, but I found a lot of my battles pretty hard without training for a while. Maybe it's supposed to be like that, but I'm used to pretty easy battles in the GB/GBA games.

The battle mode? It's ok. The best part about that is getting your pokemon from Ruby/Sapphire to fight. The rest isn't really that fun for me. It might be great to some, but since I haven't tried it that much I can't give a very detailed review.

The graphics were somewhat of a letdown too. Of course they're better than on a GBA, but the people and scenery aren't too great. The pokemon are cute, though.

Overall, I would tell pokemon fans like me who have already played the GB/GBA games to get this, if only because it is a pokemon game. If you haven't played Ruby or Sapphire, though, get those first (as long as you have a GBA), since I find them a lot more entertaining than this game.

This Game Exceeded My Expectations

I found this game to be very amusing. I had pre-ordred this game and it was worth it. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The story mode I found to be fairly challenging. It was fun to see all those new Pokemon in this game's smooth 3-D action. I especially enjoyed the GBA linking up to my GameCube so I could see all my favorite Pokemon fight in incredible graphics. Overall this game was worth my money.

I really liked the story mode where you could walk around and challenge other trainers because it's like the Game Boy games. That was one of the only good parts. One problem I had with it was the gym leader you first challenge. He is way to difficult considering the pokemon you first aquire. It took me about 15 tries to beat it each taking an extremly long time. I have played some of the origanial games including Silver version, Sapphire version,and the two 64 games but I found this game particularly annoying. The graphics and storyline were good but not excellent. Now to the battle mode. The problem I have with this is you have to have a gameboy and a gamecube gameboy cable. Also if you have lots of other games on your memorycard chances are you'll need another one because it takes 48 blocks. Considering the price of the game and other things you need it's a bit of a rip off. I might be a bit harsh saying it's a rip off because it's an ok game but it has some flaws.

You Need This Game

I would rate this game's fun a 5,but it's really short and there's not that many pokemon to catch.But then there's MAJOR reason's why you should get this.Even when you're "done with the game",you're not.All the pokemon you didn't "snag"(this game's term for "catching"),you have another chance at snaging again.(except for one...I THINK...).And the music....and I'm serios...it will touch your heart.I recorded some of the music on my Play it Now.I mean come ON!!I leared the meaning of life and death!(you live so you can FEEL happiness,and have fun,and die so that persion's memory will be in your heart,making you more strongly like/love that person...well..you'll see.)Once you get to Agate Villedge,I recomend you ocansinaly go to Celibi's relic after you,ummm...do stuff(for ya know..the music).Anyway,your a boy in this game and you can't change that,but a girl who you can name(oviosly,you name the boy too),tags along with you.Even if you're NOT a pokemon fan(......WHY?!?),you should buy this,no matter what the price.
