It follows the idea of the Nintendo 64 Pokmon Stadium video game series. The game was released in Japan on November 21, 2003, and was released in North America on March 23, 2004. Pre-orders for the game started on February 9, 2004 and those who pre-ordered the game were able to receive a special bonus disc that contains the normally unattainable Pokmon Jirachi, as well as a fix for the now infamous time/berry bug in Pokmon Ruby and Sapphire. Europeans saw the game released on May 7, 2004, but without a bonus disc. This title features support for the Pokmon Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, FireRed, and LeafGreen games. It features all 386 known Pokmon as of the Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald era. The game feature a first for the Pokmon series, a true 3D role-playing game mode that allows the player to capture Pokmon that cannot be captured in Ruby and Sapphire, allowing them to eventually be transferred into said games. This includes Legendary Pokmon such as Ho-oh. There is a rumor that Celebi may be obtainable in the game, but it only makes a couple of non-obtainable appearances in the game. In Japan, people who pre-ordered received a bonus disc with various items and Pokmon, including Celebi. It also adds a new Pokmon type, Shadow Pokmon, which cannot be traded to any game until they lose their Shadow type. While it is the first 3D Pokmon video game with an RPG mode, it doesn't allow the player to use rental Pokmon the way the Pokmon Stadium games did. This was probably done because Pokmon are obtainable in the RPG mode, thus meaning that use most of the features in the game are still usable without a Game Boy Advance Pokmon game or rentals. Pokmon Colosseum also puts significantly less importance on the non-RPG aspects of the game than Pokmon Stadium and Pokmon Stadium 2. For example, there are no minigames, nor is there a Gym Leader Tower, and there does not appear to be a "Round 2". This new RPG takes place in the arid Orre region, and features new Shadow Pokmon and a brand new criminal organization, Team Snagem. They are similar in some respects to Team Rocket of previous games. This team is attempting to turn all Pokmon into evil Shadow Pokmon by closing their hearts off, and it is the player's job to stop them. In another twist to the Pokmon series, this is be the first game ever where other Trainers' Pokmon can be captured—or snagged, as they call it in this game. This only applies to Shadow Pokmon, and the purpose of capturing the Shadow Pokmon is so that they can later be purified, changing them back into normal Pokmon. The player's character has a female partner who has the ability to see the dark aura surrounding Shadow Pokmon. While it will have limited storage ability, the other GameCube game, Pokmon Box, has taken over the storage duties from the Pokmon Stadium games. External links Colosseum
