Pokemon Colosseum

Ha-Ha!

That's the way the name of the game appears on the box. So that's the way I spelled it.

Even still, I'm really looking forward to the game.

It's definitely less involving than the GB Pokemon RPGs. Not trying to hamper your enthusiasm (I too, enjoy the Pokemon series), but I think it's worth pointing out the RPG mode definitely isn't as good as it could be.

Still a step in the right direction though.

You are, of course, correct.

I think it's a huge step in the right direction. World maps, town visitation, story, and Poke-fighting. Even if it isn't as complex as a Final Fantasy or a Star Ocean, it's still an RPG. And for this I am thankful.

That's where all this enthusiasm is coming from. Not only is it a move to make Pokemon much more big than it already is, but it's such a huge, well executed (if certain reviews are correct) move to boot. I really can't wait. :D

Well I'll be keeping an eye on this thread once it hits, to hear impressions about that game mode. Getting some more fun out of my Pokemon Ruby cartridge would be pretty cool actually :)

And I'll just ask this here... any word on a U.S. release of the Red/Blue remakes for the GBA that Japan got (or is getting? Not sure...)

I don't know about any Red/Blue remakes, but I doubt I'd buy them if they crossed over. Though . . . they are sure to implement some kind of premium, like newer Pokemon, or Ruby/Sapphire -- Red/Blue connectivity.

Hmph. But I've already played through them once. I don't know if simply adding to the roster of existing Pokemon is enough to get me to buy the game again.

Fire Red and Leaf Green.

I'm pretty sure they already hit Japan.

Are you "pretty sure" about anything else, like new modes of play, or new Pokemon, or any other changes that would get a sucker like me to shell out the cash for them a second time?

Let's see... been announced for the US sometime in 2004.

Pokemon Colliseum is compatible with it. Also Ruby and Sapphire.

Updated graphics, new islands to go to, 2 on 2 battles (which are in ruby / sapphire), be a female trainer, new mini games, new movesets, a move tutor.

That's all I could dig up, at the moment.

MORE: About 200 pokemon to catch, also. And the new islands are three secret islands with new quests.

Hmmm. I don't know if that's enough to convince me. It might be, but not right now it isn't. I'll wait until I hear some more about it.

Thanks. :)
