'''Pokémon Colosseum''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンコロシアム''' ''Pokémon Colosseum'') was released on November 21, 2003 in Japan, March 22, 2004 in North America and May 14, 2004 in Europe on the [[Nintendo GameCube]]. The game followed the basic stadium style battling found in the [[Pokémon Stadium series|Pokémon Stadium games]] but an extra was included in the form of an RPG which allowed trainers to catch [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]] Pokémon in the desolate region of [[Orre]].
'''Pokémon Colosseum''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンコロシアム''' ''Pokémon Colosseum'') was released on the [[Nintendo GameCube]] on November 21, 2003 in Japan, March 22, 2004 in North America, and May 14, 2004 in Europe. The game followed the basic stadium style battling found in the [[Pokémon Stadium series|Pokémon Stadium games]], but extra gameplay was included in the form of an RPG story mode comparable to the [[core series]], which allowed Trainers to catch [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]] Pokémon in the desolate region of [[Orre]].


In the game, the [[player character]] [[Wes]] was part of an organization called [[Team Snagem]] and they obtained a machine which allowed someone to snag another's Pokémon as if it were wild. Another team, [[Cipher]], was responsible for corrupting the hearts of Pokémon and giving them to Trainers. With the help of a young girl named [[Rui]], [[Wes]] was able to find the Pokémon whose hearts were sealed and surrounded by a purple aura and use the [[Snag Machine]] to rescue Shadow Pokémon and restore them to normal.
In this game, the [[player character]] [[Wes]] was formerly a member of an organization called [[Team Snagem]], which had obtained a machine that allowed the user to "snag" another Trainer's Pokémon as though it were wild. Another team, [[Cipher]], was responsible for corrupting the hearts of Pokémon and giving them to Trainers. With the help of a young girl named [[Rui]], [[Wes]] was able to find the Pokémon whose hearts were sealed and surrounded by a purple aura and use the [[Snag Machine]] to rescue Shadow Pokémon and restore them to normal.


==Story==
==Plot==
{{incomplete|section}}
{{spoilers}}
The game starts with an opening scene depicting the {{player}} stealing equipment from the strongly guarded headquarters of [[Team Snagem]], and then proceeding to flee with an {{p|Espeon}} and {{p|Umbreon}} as the base explodes. After riding on a strange one-wheeled motorcycle for a while, the player stops at the dilapidated gas station of [[Outskirt Stand]]. The player battles Rider Willie, who tells the player about [[Phenac City]] after he is defeated.


==Characters==
Upon reaching the new location, a pair of shady people are just leaving the city with a noisy, wriggling sack in tow. Once they see that they've been caught, one of the goons, Folly, starts a battle with the player. After defeat, both people get away, leaving the sack unattended. A girl emerges from the bag after some trouble undoing the knot, and claim to have seen the kidnappers use some kind of strange looking Pokémon. The girl becomes the player's partner and both go to find the Mayor to clear things up. A strange man bumps into the player as he leaves the Mayor's office, predicting that he will see the player again sometime in the future. The player and partner then enter the house as the girl proceeds to alert the Mayor of weird Pokémon that have a dark aura and attack humans. The Mayor assures the team that he will look into this case, and suggests going to the city's Stadium. At the doorway of the Stadium, some Snagem members recognize the player as the traitor who blew up their base. A battle with one of them ensues, and upon defeat, the girl tells the player that she doesn't care about the past, but she does encourage buying some Poké Balls for future use. After this scene, the girl, [[Rui]], becomes the player's permanent partner, and will follow the player throughout the length of the game.
''See [[:Category:Colosseum characters|Colosseum characters]] category.''


==Locations==
Then, after purchasing some Poké Balls at [[Outskirt Stand]], the player returns to Phenac City, only to find it taken over by some thugs. The player tries to rescue the Mayor, but finding the decked-out [[Miror B.]] and his mischievous friends in his wake. The player's partner identifies the first Shadow Pokémon available for capture after entering a battle with Miror B.'s underlings, [[Folly]] and [[Trudly]]. After beating both in a battle, and/or capturing the Shadow Pokémon, the player tries to leave the city for [[Pyrite Town]], but is waylaid by brightly clad goons at each exit. Each has a Shadow Pokémon, but defeat of one will cue the others to leave.
''See [[:Category:Colosseum locations|Colosseum locations]] category.''
 
From this point, the player and partner will journey all across the [[Orre]] region, battling Trainers, snagging Shadow Pokémon, and uncovering the disastrous plan of the secret organization, [[Cipher]]. This shady group and its ambitious admins are the creators of Shadow Pokémon, closing their hearts to strengthen their stats. The player eventually learns how to reverse the effects of this process, and must capture all of Cipher's Shadow Pokémon to thwart the evil mastermind behind it all. After defeating [[Miror B]] in [[Pyrite Cave]], [[Dakim]] in [[Mt. Battle]], [[Venus]] in [[The Under]] and [[Ein]] in the [[Cipher Lab|Shadow Pokémon Laboratory]], the player goes to [[Realgam Tower]]; after defeating the {{tc|Cipher Admin|Admins}} again, [[Gonzap]] comes out and reveals that Cipher gave [[Team Snagem]] the [[Snag Machine]]s; and that Snagem gave the Pokémon to Cipher, who created Shadow Pokémon; meaning that this was all one master plan hatched by Cipher. After defeating Snagem, [[Nascour]]—the boss of [[Cipher]]—is defeated by the player. Afterwards, it is revealed that [[Phenac City]]'s mayor [[Es Cade]] is actually [[Evice]], the true boss of Cipher. After he is defeated, he tries to escape; however, fortunately, a {{p|Ho-Oh}} uses {{m|Sacred Fire}} to stop him, saving the day.
 
Even with the true leader of Cipher under arrest, there is still a post-ending to be completed. [[Secc]], from the [[Kids Grid]], emails the player information about some interesting characters who end up telling the player about some points of interest. Eventually, the Snagem Hideout becomes available for exploration, the Shadow Pokémon Laboratory gets some Cipher refugees to battle, and a hidden Stadium in the Under is brought to the player's attention. Lastly, after all the Shadow Pokémon are snagged, the player will be notified of a Trainer that is attacking people with another Shadow Pokémon, who supposedly looks just like the player. After the copy's defeat, there are still [[Colosseum Battle]]s to be won and a Ho-Oh to be obtained in Battle Mode.

===Purification===
{{main|Purification}}
Pokémon in the game can be purified in a variety of ways.
 
* Walking around with [[Shadow Pokémon]] in the party.
* Rubbing [[Scent]]s on the Pokémon (these can be bought at [[Agate Village]]).
* Sending them out in battle.
* Calling out to the Pokémon when it is in Hyper Mode.
* Placing a Shadow Pokémon in the [[Pokémon Day Care]] in Agate Village.
 
Once the [[Heart Gauge]] reaches the point where it says "The Pokémon's heart is about to open! Undo the final lock!", Trainers would go to the Agate Village shrine and use its power to restore the Pokémon's heart and remove the move known as {{m|Shadow Rush}}. Once the Pokémon has been purified, it will gain all [[experience]] and [[friendship]] it earned during the time it was a Shadow Pokémon, and acquire a special [[Ribbon]] exclusive to purified Pokémon. No [[effort values]] are earned until the Pokémon has been purified.
 
After players have beaten the game, Pokémon can be traded to all [[Generation III]] games provided that their hearts are open (and certain objectives have been completed in {{v2|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, if they are being traded to). Note that trading Pokémon to Ruby and Sapphire will not unlock the [[National Pokédex]].

==Purification techniques==
==Battle Mode==
{{main|Purification}}
The other half of the game, known as [[Battle Mode (Colosseum)|Battle Mode]], consists of [[Colosseum Battle]] and [[Battle Now (Colosseum)|Battle Now]]. This mode allows players to focus solely on Pokémon Battles, similar to the Stadium series.
Pokémon in the game can be purified in a variety of ways.


* Walking around with [[Shadow Pokémon]] in the party.
===Colosseum Battle===
* Rubbing [[Cologne|scents]] on the Pokémon (these can be bought at [[Agate Village]]).
{{main|Colosseum Battle}}
* Battling with them and calling out when the Pokémon reaches its hyper mode.
Colosseum Battle allows players to participate in various challenges that can earn the player [[Poké Coupon]]s. Along with a different version of the [[Mt. Battle]] 100-Trainer Challenge, Colosseum Battle also consists of several Colosseum venues to which Trainers can send Pokémon from the RPG or the [[Game Boy Advance]] games to battle.
* Placing a Shadow Pokémon in the [[Pokémon daycare]] in Agate Village.
 
Once the [[Heart Gauge]] reaches the point where it says "The Pokémon's heart is about to open! Undo the final lock!", trainers would go to the Agate Village shrine and use its power to restore the Pokémon's heart and remove the move known as {{m|Shadow Rush}}. Once the Pokémon has been purified, it will gain all experience it earned during the time it was a Shadow Pokémon, and acquire a special [[Ribbon]] exclusive to Purified Pokémon.
 
After players have beaten the game, Pokémon can be traded to all [[Generation III]] games provided that their hearts are open (and certain objectives have been completed in {{v2|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, if they are being traded to). Note that trading Pokémon to Ruby and Sapphire will not unlock the [[National Pokédex]].
 
==Colosseums==
The other half of the game consists of several Colosseum venues that trainers could send Pokémon from the RPG or the [[Game Boy Advance]] games to battle.

* [[Deep Colosseum]]
 
===Battle Now===
{{main|Battle Now (Colosseum)}}
Battle Now allows one to two players to battle immediately, without any preparation or other games or Pokémon necessary. {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}' [[Quick Battle]] is almost identical to this mode.


==Rewards==
==Rewards==
While competing in the [[Mt. Battle]] 100 Trainer challenge in either the RPG or the Colosseum section of the game, players can receive [[Poké Coupon]]s which can be used to buy [[item]]s. Additionally, players have the option of storing Poké Coupons on a {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby or Sapphire|s}} game pack for later use. Here is the list of what players can receive after collecting a set amount of Poké Coupons.

==Compatibility==
{{main|List of glitches in Generation III#In Pokémon Colosseum|List of glitches in Generation III}}
Pokémon Colosseum is compatible with all five of the [[core series]] Pokémon games on the [[Game Boy Advance]]. Items and Pokémon can be traded between them in the same manner that they can be traded between each other. However, the player must have defeated [[Evice]] in Story Mode in order to unlock it, have a GameCube-Game Boy Advance cable, and a Game Boy Advance.
 
==Localization changes==
* In Europe, a GameCube Bundle could be purchased which included Pokémon Colosseum, a memory card, [[Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire]] as a bonus disc, and a [[GameCube]]-[[Game Boy Advance]] [[Game Link Cable]].
* In the international localizations of {{g|Colosseum}}, [[Rui]]'s shirt and skirt were lengthened.
* Due to the [[Card e Room]] being dummied out in the international releases, three Shadow Pokémon that were exclusively obtainable via e-Reader cards are not available in the localized versions. The Shadow Pokémon distributed via e-Reader cards were {{p|Mareep}}, {{p|Togepi}}, and {{p|Scizor}}.

* Despite being on the cover, {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} are not available in the game unless traded from a [[Game Boy Advance]] game. This is the only time that a Pokémon that [[version mascot|appears on a game's cover]] is not found in the game, aside from the storage game {{g|Box Ruby & Sapphire}}.
* The player's first Pokémon, {{p|Espeon}} and {{p|Umbreon}}, already have some [[experience]] points toward the next level at the start of the game.
* The game contains 3D models of the Trainers from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} despite being released before them. This situation is similar to that with {{g|Stadium 2}}, which was released on the same day as {{game|Crystal}} in Japan and several months before it in other regions. These models can be seen in Battle Mode when a team from the appropriate GBA cartridge was registered.
* Since both of the player's [[List of the player's first Pokémon|first Pokémon]] are always male in this game, this had the outcome of preventing players from obtaining {{p|Eevee}} in [[Generation III]] (by [[trade|trading]] with {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} and [[breeding]]) until the release of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.

* If a Pokémon is traded from Pokémon XD to a GBA game and then to this game, the caught location will most likely be displayed as [[Mt. Battle]], regardless of where it was actually caught in [[Orre]], even if it was caught in an area accessible in the game, because both games use [[List of locations by index number in Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD|exactly the same internal index list for locations]]. Doing the reverse also produces a status screen oddity.

* This game is the only game in which none of the members of the {{p|Zubat}} evolution family are obtainable without trading.

* In Europe, a GameCube Bundle could be purchased which included Pokémon Colosseum, a memory card, [[Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire]] as a bonus disc, and a [[GameCube]]-[[Game Boy Advance]] [[Game Link Cable]].
* The Pokémon storage system only has 3 boxes, thus allowing a maximum of 90 Pokémon to be stored. As there are no wild Pokémon to be caught and trading yields no additional Pokémon, the player normally can never get more than the 48 ordinary Shadow Pokémon, the three Japanese e-Reader exclusive shadow Pokémon, {{p|Espeon}}, {{p|Umbreon}} and gift Pokémon. However, when a {{p|Nincada}} evolves, the game still creates the additional {{p|Shedinja}}, thus allowing the player to keep the purified Pokémon in the game plus more from other games. It is untested how the game reacts when a shadow Pokémon should be caught but the player's party and all boxes are filled.
* A trailer for Pokémon Colosseum was included on the bonus disc that came with preorders for ''[[smw:Mario Kart: Double Dash!!#Bonus disc|Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''. The trailer shows an early, more simplistic logo for the game, followed by various story and battle footage with Japanese text.
* In [[Hidenori Kusaka]]'s message from [[Pokémon Adventures volume 29]], the name of this game is misspelled as "Pokémon Coliseum".

StrategyWiki has more about this subject:

Pokémon Colosseum (Japanese: ポケモンコロシアム Pokémon Colosseum) was released on the Nintendo GameCube on November 21, 2003 in Japan, March 22, 2004 in North America, and May 14, 2004 in Europe. The game followed the basic stadium style battling found in the Pokémon Stadium games, but extra gameplay was included in the form of an RPG story mode comparable to the core series, which allowed Trainers to catch Generation II and Generation III Pokémon in the desolate region of Orre.

In this game, the player character Wes was formerly a member of an organization called Team Snagem, which had obtained a machine that allowed the user to "snag" another Trainer's Pokémon as though it were wild. Another team, Cipher, was responsible for corrupting the hearts of Pokémon and giving them to Trainers. With the help of a young girl named Rui, Wes was able to find the Pokémon whose hearts were sealed and surrounded by a purple aura and use the Snag Machine to rescue Shadow Pokémon and restore them to normal.

Plot

201
Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.
201

The game starts with an opening scene depicting the player stealing equipment from the strongly guarded headquarters of Team Snagem, and then proceeding to flee with an Espeon and Umbreon as the base explodes. After riding on a strange one-wheeled motorcycle for a while, the player stops at the dilapidated gas station of Outskirt Stand. The player battles Rider Willie, who tells the player about Phenac City after he is defeated.

Upon reaching the new location, a pair of shady people are just leaving the city with a noisy, wriggling sack in tow. Once they see that they've been caught, one of the goons, Folly, starts a battle with the player. After defeat, both people get away, leaving the sack unattended. A girl emerges from the bag after some trouble undoing the knot, and claim to have seen the kidnappers use some kind of strange looking Pokémon. The girl becomes the player's partner and both go to find the Mayor to clear things up. A strange man bumps into the player as he leaves the Mayor's office, predicting that he will see the player again sometime in the future. The player and partner then enter the house as the girl proceeds to alert the Mayor of weird Pokémon that have a dark aura and attack humans. The Mayor assures the team that he will look into this case, and suggests going to the city's Stadium. At the doorway of the Stadium, some Snagem members recognize the player as the traitor who blew up their base. A battle with one of them ensues, and upon defeat, the girl tells the player that she doesn't care about the past, but she does encourage buying some Poké Balls for future use. After this scene, the girl, Rui, becomes the player's permanent partner, and will follow the player throughout the length of the game.

Then, after purchasing some Poké Balls at Outskirt Stand, the player returns to Phenac City, only to find it taken over by some thugs. The player tries to rescue the Mayor, but finding the decked-out Miror B. and his mischievous friends in his wake. The player's partner identifies the first Shadow Pokémon available for capture after entering a battle with Miror B.'s underlings, Folly and Trudly. After beating both in a battle, and/or capturing the Shadow Pokémon, the player tries to leave the city for Pyrite Town, but is waylaid by brightly clad goons at each exit. Each has a Shadow Pokémon, but defeat of one will cue the others to leave.

From this point, the player and partner will journey all across the Orre region, battling Trainers, snagging Shadow Pokémon, and uncovering the disastrous plan of the secret organization, Cipher. This shady group and its ambitious admins are the creators of Shadow Pokémon, closing their hearts to strengthen their stats. The player eventually learns how to reverse the effects of this process, and must capture all of Cipher's Shadow Pokémon to thwart the evil mastermind behind it all. After defeating Miror B in Pyrite Cave, Dakim in Mt. Battle, Venus in The Under and Ein in the Shadow Pokémon Laboratory, the player goes to Realgam Tower; after defeating the Admins again, Gonzap comes out and reveals that Cipher gave Team Snagem the Snag Machines; and that Snagem gave the Pokémon to Cipher, who created Shadow Pokémon; meaning that this was all one master plan hatched by Cipher. After defeating Snagem, Nascour—the boss of Cipher—is defeated by the player. Afterwards, it is revealed that Phenac City's mayor Es Cade is actually Evice, the true boss of Cipher. After he is defeated, he tries to escape; however, fortunately, a Ho-Oh uses Sacred Fire to stop him, saving the day.

Even with the true leader of Cipher under arrest, there is still a post-ending to be completed. Secc, from the Kids Grid, emails the player information about some interesting characters who end up telling the player about some points of interest. Eventually, the Snagem Hideout becomes available for exploration, the Shadow Pokémon Laboratory gets some Cipher refugees to battle, and a hidden Stadium in the Under is brought to the player's attention. Lastly, after all the Shadow Pokémon are snagged, the player will be notified of a Trainer that is attacking people with another Shadow Pokémon, who supposedly looks just like the player. After the copy's defeat, there are still Colosseum Battles to be won and a Ho-Oh to be obtained in Battle Mode.

Purification

Main article: Purification

Pokémon in the game can be purified in a variety of ways.

  • Walking around with Shadow Pokémon in the party.
  • Rubbing Scents on the Pokémon (these can be bought at Agate Village).
  • Sending them out in battle.
  • Calling out to the Pokémon when it is in Hyper Mode.
  • Placing a Shadow Pokémon in the Pokémon Day Care in Agate Village.

Once the Heart Gauge reaches the point where it says "The Pokémon's heart is about to open! Undo the final lock!", Trainers would go to the Agate Village shrine and use its power to restore the Pokémon's heart and remove the move known as Shadow Rush. Once the Pokémon has been purified, it will gain all experience and friendship it earned during the time it was a Shadow Pokémon, and acquire a special Ribbon exclusive to purified Pokémon. No effort values are earned until the Pokémon has been purified.

After players have beaten the game, Pokémon can be traded to all Generation III games provided that their hearts are open (and certain objectives have been completed in FireRed and LeafGreen, if they are being traded to). Note that trading Pokémon to Ruby and Sapphire will not unlock the National Pokédex.

Battle Mode

The other half of the game, known as Battle Mode, consists of Colosseum Battle and Battle Now. This mode allows players to focus solely on Pokémon Battles, similar to the Stadium series.

Colosseum Battle

Main article: Colosseum Battle

Colosseum Battle allows players to participate in various challenges that can earn the player Poké Coupons. Along with a different version of the Mt. Battle 100-Trainer Challenge, Colosseum Battle also consists of several Colosseum venues to which Trainers can send Pokémon from the RPG or the Game Boy Advance games to battle.

Battle Now

Main article: Battle Now (Colosseum)

Battle Now allows one to two players to battle immediately, without any preparation or other games or Pokémon necessary. Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness' Quick Battle is almost identical to this mode.

Rewards

While competing in the Mt. Battle 100 Trainer challenge in either the RPG or the Colosseum section of the game, players can receive Poké Coupons which can be used to buy items. Additionally, players have the option of storing Poké Coupons on a Pokémon Ruby or Sapphire game pak for later use. Below is a list of what players can receive after collecting a set amount of Poké Coupons.

Poké Coupon shop


Compatibility

Pokémon Colosseum is compatible with all five of the core series Pokémon games on the Game Boy Advance. Items and Pokémon can be traded between them in the same manner that they can be traded between each other. However, the player must have defeated Evice in Story Mode in order to unlock it, have a GameCube-Game Boy Advance cable, and a Game Boy Advance.
