Pokemon Colosseum

[Captain Vegetable]

I realize now that I'm the only one around here who actually gives a flying rat's ass about Pokemon, but I'm not going to let all of you jerks ruin my good time.

Pokemon Colosseum is due out in March (the 22nd to be exact), and it includes not only a battle mode, which was the entire premise of both N64 Pokemon Stadiums, but it will also include a "scenario" mode, which is a stand alone RPG type adventure with new characters.

If you're interested, a preorder of the game will secure you a special bonus disk, not unlike the one found in the Mario Kart: Double Dash!! LE package (only this disk isn't included in the game case; you get it right away), and on this disk is a preview of the game itself, a preview of the new straight-to-video/DVD movie "Jirachi: Wish Maker" or something like that, and the coup de grace, Jirachi himself, in downloadable form. All you have to do is connect your GBA to the GC (complete with either a copy of Pokemon Ruby or Sapphire), and you obtain, with zero effort, this super powerful Steel-Psychic type Pokemon, with which you can kick the living Hell out of all comers.

There's an interview with a few of the developers HERE that explains some of the game modes, and some story bits involved with the scenario mode.

Now I want that demo. I'll have to sweet talk the manager of my local GS.

[Captain Vegetable]

Or I could probably get you one, free of charge. Ask your local GS manager, first, though. I don't want to have to ship to Puerto Rico without good reason.

[Melf]

Will do!

i'll play pokemon again when it's a full fledged console RPG. why has that not happened yet? Hell, GC should have launched with it and everyone but Nintendo realises this.

Looks like you'll be playing Pokemon come March 22nd.

I do believe this game is, in fact, a "full fledged console RPG."

ok, by preview of the game do you mean playable demo? because i am lookign foreward to the game, and if the demo has that, i will check it out, as eb has the same deal.

i thought that part was just a little throw in. If it were a real Pokemon game, it wouldn't be part of the colsseum series.

No, it isn't playable. Just some new vids. But I got it for the Jirachi. Everything else was butter.

Hey, man, I don't know what you're looking for, but the scenario mode takes place in a new region of the Pokemon universe, wherein you travel from town to town, traversing the wilds while searching out and "snagging" up Pokemon in order to do battle with them in stadiums, all the while seeking to undermine the plans of an evil organization, all in 3D.

That sounds an awful lot like a "full fledged console RPG," if you ask me.

Little? It's supposed to be a fairly good used RPG, with some new ideas and features thrown in.

The colliseum is what most of the kids will buy it for, anyways,
