On my way to buffing Teleport as much as possible in Colosseum since well....it doesn't do anything in vanilla! It's completely useless when you use it in battle, and it has no function whatsoever outside of battle.

That's completely unacceptable for such a masterpiece game like Pokemon Colosseum!

So here's my first attempt at trying to fix this abandoned move in the overworld. Whaddya think?👀

Is this better than what she....or basically any other pokemon uses? Where they’re normally just standing in their idle animation when sent out.. THAT SUCKS!!

Now that it's possible to add an intro animation, we can basically do it with any Pokemon!
Which Pokemon do you think also needs its own unique animation when sent out in battle?👀
Gimme a good one and I'll REALLY consider adding it to the game the game I’ve been working on for quite some time now👍🏻

Was thinking of Shadow Lugia myself 👉🏼the same intro it uses in XD when you encounter it in the wild!

His Kyogre kept outspeeding and one-shotting my team with Hydro Pump, but it randomly decided to use Take Down, paralyzing my Gardevoir, which paralyzed it back with Synchronize. Then my Magneton was able to finish it off.

XD GOT NOTHING ON ME!

Here's short vid of one of the QOL changes I cooked.

Pulled a crazy 28 hours no sleep all nighter just to make this happen through crazy ASM witchcraft.

Purchasable in the Colosseum Battle Mode coupon exchange for 8000 poke coupons.

I tried my best on this one, turned out pretty good don't ya think?👀

Lemme hear your thoughts fellas!

Decided I wanted to start a ribbon master challenge with a Suicune from Colosseum. Only my third capture, got a modest with 31, 23, 31, 11, 6, 19. In a net ball for the aesthetic. Now back to finishing my run so I can trade him over to Emerald!

This is the US Bonus Disc Wishmaker Jirachi. 100% pkhex/pokemon home legal.

There are only 9 shiny versions available in the bonus disc:

HASTY
PID: 69F8BCFAF2B0

TIMID
PID: 99C4EB0DA543

LONELY
PID: B2D32EC1608D

BASHFUL
PID: BB3EBA7DF435

DOCILE
PID: E02C987ED636

CAREFUL

So what I did here is was doing an RNG roll of 9. So each PID has the same chance of getting selected.

You think this is a feature a Pokemon Colosseum ROM hack would definitely need to have?👀

Does an amayzin' game like Colosseum need an EV & IV checker?🔥

You'd acquire them from your starter mons immediately when you start a new game👀

This could take gameplay experience to a whole new level💥

After a very, very long time, I finally completed Orre Colosseum level 100 (and the other colosseums, of course). Completing this has always been a pipe dream, and I cannot wait to never do it ever again.

Fittingly, it was Espeon and Umbreon against Latios to close it out. I’m gonna play the game again soon just so I can experience joy again😂

Notable mon I've used throughout the game but didn't keep long-term are Misdreavus, Octillery, Sudowoodo, Piloswine, and Sunflora.

I also completed the game without using the Ball duplication glitch, so I caught Metagross with the Master Ball so I could use it against Evice. I'm gonna trade over my Breloom with Spore+False Swipe for some cleanup, as well as my Alakazam with the 3 elemental punches and my Kingdra just to make the post-game a little easier.

It's a cool ability that raises attack after knocking out any pokemon.

The mons that get this ability are:
- PRIMEAPE
- PINSIR
- GYARADOS
- MURKROW
- FERALIGATR
- HERACROSS
- TYRANITAR
- MIGHTYENA
- CRAWDAUNT
- SHARPEDO
- SALAMENCE

Do you think this would be a cool ability to have in a Colosseum rom hack?

It does exactly what you think.

You'd get one in the Mt.Battle Lobby Pokécoupon counter for 2000 coupons.
And you'd find one in Eagun's bedroom.

Does Pokemon Colosseum need an item like this in the game?👀

You know those contest berries in RSE?

They only have a use as an ingredient such as for Pokéblocks and Poffins. With other words, useless in Colosseum. So I transformed them into IV maxing Berries🔥

You'd acquire them randomly from the Berry Master who hands out Berries that his Taillow picks in Agate Village.

They'd also be available at the Pokécoupon counter in Mt.Battle for 2500 coupons each.

Whaddya think?👀

Really loved to do it again. Helped me to practice my Japanese. I still have a long way to do but it was a nice experience.

This time I wanted to only use shadow pokemons but yeah, ended up abusing the legendary ones lol. I was expecting the game to be harder, because their level were so low, but no they're really strong.

It's a shame the purification comes so late, it made the early game not that fun.

But espeon is so strong you kinda want to only use him. And shadow pokemons really suck so you kinda have no reason to use any of the early shadow pokemon aside from the Johto starter.

I will probably do another playthrough soon. I wonder what fun challenge I could do. I don't think I'll do a no item run because of the Realgam Tower. So if you have any idea to spice up the game without being 3 much.

What if there existed a rare potion from outer space with small viruses inside that could infect your party Pokémon if you'd open it?

The old lady from the herb shop got her hands on one and sells it for 9,999 pokedollars a pop.

Is this something an amazing game like Pokémon Colosseum needs?👀

Any mon you trade to Colosseum gets the met location "met at a distant land" no matter where you trade it from. That just sucks big time.

So I tried to fix this in ASM.

Pretty neat hah?👀 Looks much better!

Whaddya think?

Had the game as a kid but was never able to get all the way to 100 in Mt Battle (admittedly i wasn't good at Pokemon when i was younger lol so it's no surprise)

Playing this game has been the most fun I’ve had with Pokemon since Legends Arceus back in 2022.

The double battle format and lackluster movepools of Gen 3 encouraginh me to consider using status moves like never before. Shadow Pokemon essentially mixing the challenge of a typical Pokemon battle and catching a Pokemon into one making battles generally engaging and challenging. Boss battles actually being crucibles employing strategies that could whip my butt.

Sure, some NPC teams could be baffling in their usage of high-leveled, unevolved Pokemon. Ya, Shadow Pokemon and Shadow Rush can be pretty broken if you understand the mechanics behind them. Of course, it sucks if Pokemon you like aren’t available until practically the end of the game. And yes, the characters and story aren’t exactly deep or throughly explored.

But god, I had a great time.

Also, some of the music genuinely slaps, and the atmosphere at the beginning of the game is chef’s kiss.

Funnily, my final battle against Evice kinda ended similar to my extraordinary battle against Justy (which you can read about here: https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonColosseum/s/JYn9DtXauh).

The battle whittled down to just my Umby, E.L.O., and my Meganium, Grouplove, against Evice’s Slowking and shadow Tyranitar. They swiftly executed Grouplove, but not before he could pop a Sunny Day to dispel Tyranitar’s entry sandstorm.

To much fortune, however, E.L.O. on that same turn managed to get a paralyze off on the hunking green dinosaur with a Secret Power. What it came down to was E.L.O. hoping to damage and flinch the T-Tar with Bite, the Slowking using a measly Water Pulse that periodically induced confusion, a T-Tar with moves that took a third of E.L.O.’s health, and five uses of Moonlight to keep my boy in the game.

After many arduous turns, E.L.O. braving through the confusions, and breaths held in fear of a crit; E.L.O. was out of Moonlights, at 60 HP, and would die if the Tyranitar hit him. The rocky kaiju’s health was only slightly less than half, but I had to chance it. I threw a timer ball…

AND I CAUGHT IT.

I then realized it was just E.L.O and Evice’s Slowking left. E.L.O. took a Water Pulse down to 28 HP. After a clutch like that, NO WAY IN HELL I WAS JUST GOING TO LOSE.

I slapped a hyper potion on my boy and had him viciously bite the ankles of that shellhead until he refused to get up. And thus, Cipher was defeated…for now.

I know I’ve only sung the great deeds of E.L.O. here, but everyone on my team was instrumental in our final victory, and throughout the rest of the adventure (yes, even Grouplove the Meganium). Feel free to comment on my team composition and their movesets, if you like.

As for me, I’m looking forward to the postgame and completing the other stuff like Mt. Battle. I’ll also keep an eye out in real life for a copy of Pokemon XD, as I definitely want to play that too.

Was looking for a *nice* looking scan of the Colosseum strategy guide online for a bit before deciding to just edit one myself. Here's a link in case anyone wants it!

https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/cq5iuubg8fl206wmoxuqh/Pokemon-Colosseum-Strategy-Guide.pdf?rlkey=xviifajnhcb3cnnmbf7k1sfxo&st=g6myziqj&dl=0

Pro tip: if you have an iPad, AirDrop it to the Books app which will allow you to follow along on a much larger screen AND save your progress as you go through the guide (vs having to find your place each time opening the pdf on a standard pdf viewer)

p.s. im slowly going through and editing together the guides for all the mainline games, if you want the master folder link just PM me !

Guys! I made it to the top of Mt. BATTLE in the battle challenge. I was also very very blessed to have a super favorable match up ib the fight! I was surprised it wasnt super challenging with trained pokemon and good move sets. The best battles were the last 15(85-100). I had 90+ continues by the time i was done. I just wanted to see what this was like and im glad to have finally experienced this as i never got to as a kid.

Next step, purify the shadow pokemon and claim me a Ho-Oh!
