![]() ![]() All of the characters in the mainline games say that you have a strong relationship with your Pokémon, but it’s hard to really see that from a player perspective. One of the most emphasized things about Pokémon games is the relationship you have with your Pokémon. Perhaps in the future, there can be another protagonist like Wes with a criminal background, and we can have a story focused more on redemption. I wish they dove more into this part of the game to make things more interesting. ![]() Second, it features a protagonist with a criminal history, looking to right his past wrongs. ![]() For one thing, it tries to actually tell a coherent story, years before Pokémon Black/White. The story of Pokémon Colosseum isn’t anything too special, but it is interesting in a couple of ways. Upon meeting Rui (you can change her name), who has the innate ability to see Shadow Pokémon, Wes decides to walk the path of redemption and take back Shadow Pokémon from Cipher. Sick of his gang’s ways, Wes destroys Team Snagem’s hideout at the start of the game and makes off with the Snag Machine along with his partners in crime, Umbreon and Espeon. Pokémon are captured by Team Snagem using this machine and then sent off to Cipher to convert the Pokémon into Shadow Pokémon. The syndicate known as Cipher has created the Snag Machine, which allows its user to capture other Trainers’ Pokémon. You play as Wes (you can change your name), a member of Team Snagem. However, how does this game hold up today? I have fond memories of waking up around 5AM to play this game before school started, and once my homework was done, I would start playing again. Of course, Pokémon Colosseum was the first game I had for the system. Not too long after the game came out, I turned down my parents’ “one-time only” offer of putting a TV in my room in order to get a GameCube. So when I heard kids at school talking about Pokémon Colosseum, I knew I needed a GameCube. When I was a wee lad, I didn’t know much about gaming. ![]()
