Thoughts on colosseum?

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.nintendo.pokemon (More info?)

I have heard many things about the game, both good and bad, but it
hasn't yet come out yet in the UK and I was wondering if it will be
worth getting. I wanted to know some people's thoughts on the game, and
playability for someone with a Sapphire cart with a squad nearing level
100, and a fan of the games sinse RBY(G). (IE - Me)

I barely started story mode and it's OK but not as good as Ruby/Saphire. I
think you might find the battle mode too easy for a squad nearing 100 or at
least I do with a squad ranging from 43 to 70 on the 100 VS colosseum
battles - all my opponents are at level 70 and I have finished the first 50
battles with no faints on my side til battle 39 and only a couple since...I
have not lost even 1 battle. There are other battle modes that I haven't
tried that may be more competitive.

Story mode's not bad, but the GBA games have more to them. You also
can't store nearly as many Pokemon. I don't know anyone else in my area
who plays Pokemon, so I haven't really been able to get into multiplayer
mode.

I like it so far.

Thing is, Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow/Silver/Gold/Crystal/Ruby/Sapphire
have essentially the same structure to the story, just different
maps and puzzles and such. Story mode at least has a different
structure, so I like it for that.

Here in the US, I pre-ordered, so I got a different disk that gave
me Jirachi with a Ganlon berry for Sapphire and Ruby (other people
report getting Salacs also). Also, you can get Pokemon in Colliseum
that you can't get in Ruby and Sapphire.

I'm not saying it's worth buying a Gamecube for, but I don't regret
the money I spent on the game itself.
