It's only good for one reason

Pokemon Colosseum is not a fun game it's boring to be all the time battleing in double battles(even though it can be used for stadegy). The only reason this game is good is to get Pokemon that can not be obtained without this game. And the bonus dick is allso a help for the other games. The attacks in the battles look very stupid, having the tecnology of the Gamecube they could of made that the attacks look better, they tried to make it look like the attacks in the Gameboy/Game Boy Advance games.

So boring it bores itself.

This game is extremely boring, and one of the most boring games I ever played. You play as an unnamed thug in a hideout in the desert. You witness a device that can snag other trainers' pokemon, then you steal it and go on your merry way. The graphics are alright, the sound is alright, the control is normal, but the gameplay sucks. Why? Here's why:you run very,very,very slow. It ruins seventy percent of the whole gameplay! The rest of the flaws is the battling. All you do is battle, and battles come so unexpectedbly and at times when you wish you can quit, you have to get to a save point, but before that, more...effin'...battles!! So it's stressful in this case, other than Pokemon Battle Revolution for Wii. And what's worse: the game's sequel, XD:Gale of Darkness,is even more boring. So avoid this game. If it crosses your path, feed it to your Charizard.

is it as good as some earlier pokemon games

personally i think that pokemon colusuim is a bit low profile.me,my family and friends all agree gold silver and crystal are all better.Its just not as good the thought of shadow pokemon is good but the way they hav fitted to a story is rubbish.Where poemon XD gale of darkness is so much better because the theme and the story is fits in s it makes sense and well lets face it you have more fun. between a few new advanced things that should have been in coulisuim e.g the radar to find Mirror B.

pokemon for GC!

People rate this game low but it interested me playing it after many GBA pokemon games.It was a refreshing twist being able to catch shadow pokemon like entei,sneasel etc.Yeah sure it could be better but some change is better

Nintendo tries to bring the Pokemon franchise to the Gamecube

I remember buying this game when it was $50 bucks and I hated it with such a passion. I give Nintendo credit for trying something different with the pokemon franchise. Instead of capturing wild pokemon you capture shadow pokemon, which are evil pokemon whose hearts are close and need to be reopened to be turned back to normal. You get to catch pokemon that are only able to catch in the game outside of the gba pokemon games and trade with the pokemon games. I beat the game all by myself in like three days or less and it just lost all replay value t me. This game will probably please hardcore pokemon fans who enjoy the show and the movies but if you have been playing since the beginning say away from the gc games and stick with gba games.

Pokemon... you can do better!

Wow. A good but super annoying game at the same time. Well, lets see. Battle after battle after battle after battle. Well, lets look on the bright side. There were good clear graphics and some cool areas... but I got totally sick over the continuous BATTLES! Then the last two boss trainers kept walking all over me, and I wanted to kill my game. All in all, a mediocre game.

I rather buy pokemon on GBA

In the world video games there are good, bad ,and dissapointments and I have to say this must the worst pokemon game in history. I mean I know the the pepole who make pokemon wanted to make a 3D pokemon game but that should of only been a dream and never a reality. The fact is that this game as no Voice overs and crappy graphics 'but on the game cube what else could f****** expect'. Lets not for get about the game play I mean it starts out good but it just gets boring and boring until it make you bark. People a word of advice buy the GBA verison but since this the first and hopefully the last 3D pokemon ever I'll be a little soft on it.

Pokemon, I hardly knew ye.

What in the name of the lord happened to pokemon games??? The graphics are o.k.... Now lets talk 'bout why this game was terrible. MULTIPLAYER. WHO THE HELL DECIDED IT WOULD BE FUN TO NOT LET PEOPLE PICK OUT A VARIETY OF POKEMON AND BATTLE WITH THEM! INSTEAD YOU CAN ONLY USE POKEMON FROM STORY MODE(WHICH SUCKS A TON!!) OR LINK UP YOUR GAMEBOY! AGGGGGGGGH!! WORST GAME OF 2004 AND 2003. I CRIED WHEN I RENTED THIS GAME! (I DIDN'T REALLY CRY BUT I WAS REALLY MAD) I LOVE POKEMON AND THIS RUINED EVERYTHING I LOVED ABOUT POKEMON! OH WELL, IT'S NOT AS BAD AS Pokemon Channel...just saying that makes me vomit!
