no pokemon game will ever come close to beating pokemon colosseum

set in the deserts of pokemon-arizona

playable character, Wes, is a criminal who opens the game by stealing valuable tech, and then riding off into the sunset on his mad max motorbike while the bombs he left in an occupied building destroy it to rubble

you don't catch wild pokemon. instead, with the help of a kidnapped psychic, you steal pokemon from other people. you just throw pokeballs at other peoples pokemon during battle and then leave with their pokemon. how are they going to stop you? with what pokemon? your city now, bitch

the villains in this game have been torturing pokemon to insanity. you have to therapy these pokemon back to health by... forcing them to fight for you.

the music. look up pyrite town theme right fucking now.

miror b........

there's an entire underground bladerunner-esque city hidden from almost everyone. it contains a gang of independent child criminal hackers who do far more to help you than the cops.

i just love the wild west/high tech mashup vibe. its sUCH a choice aesthetic.

DOUBLE BATTLES ONLY

wes the hardened badass edgy criminal and his two main pokemon, espeon and umbreon, a pair of cute dogs who love him so so so so much

the battle system in this game is choice.

because there aren't wild pokemon or random battles, and you can only steal certain pokemon, you actually have really limited options for battles. you'd think this would be annoying, but i really enjoyed it - its a very good foil to the other pokemon games where you have infinite possibilities. it forces a casual player to strategize a lot harder.

especially if you're trying to heal all the shadow pokemon - you have to use pokemon in battle you never normally would have.

this is such an old game, iirc one of the first 3D pokemon games ever? and the graphics are understandably clunky, but even then there is so much heart and care put into it that it doesnt feel outdated, just heavily stylized.

EVERY POKEMON has unique animations that are just so much fun and really shine in the battles. especially their K.O. animations. its just so much fun. modern pokemon, take notes
