Pokémon evolves with a full-blown Story mode and an epic tournament.
Opening on the dusty outskirts of new area Orre and spilling out into bustling burgs and desert oases, Pokémon Colosseum's Story mode is a stunning 3-D adventure with beautiful artwork, humor, and two-on-two Pokémon confrontations. As a Trainer with secrets, you can Snag tainted Shadow Pokémon from other Trainers and put them on your team, reintroducing them to their abilities. You'll need strong Pokémon and the help of a psychic sidekick to bring down the criminal organization that threatens Orre.
Most Story mode Pokémon are from Pokémon Gold and Pokémon Silver. The Trainers are new, and many of them are a riot, such as the disco-influenced Miror B., who sports a red-and-white Poké Ball hairstyle and strikes a "Stayin' Alive" pose during duels.
You can enter your team in the game's Battle mode for Colosseum matches or a 100-Trainer skirmish royale on My. Battle. In addition to using Pokémon from Story mode, you can import teams from the GBA Pokémon games into the fray. Multiplayer Gang Battles require GBA systems and GCN-GBA connections. The Battle Now option allows you to adopt a randomly selected team and get right into the mix.
Incredible production values blend with a deep story and a stand-alone battler to make for the most ambitious and well-executed Pokémon game to date.
