Back in 2004 I won a contest at my local movie theatres through their kids magazine for drawing a pokemon and sending it in. My drawing got (randomly) chosen and featured in the next magazine issue, and also ended up winning me a Gamecube and a copy of Pokemon Colosseum. Hearing all of this music again is making me nostalgic to when 9 year old me was constantly playing and dancing to the music. Such fond memories.
This thing had absolutely no right slapping as hard as it did for being just a grunt battle theme, and yet, it's like, one of the greatest compositions to have spawned from a Pokémon game. Bless that slap bass, god speed.
As a kid this song made me think that peon was some sort of second-in-command position, just below an admin. Every Cipher peon felt like a miniboss. It probably helped that a lot of Cipher's goons were just regular trainer classes, with the peons being somewhat higher on the totem pole.
@@BananaReidy I hate to burst your bubble but Genius Sonority is still pretty involved in Pokemon games. Not to the extent of headlining games like Colo. or XD but they still are.
It looks better than scarlet and violet. All of the pokemon have personality when hit using a move or when fainting. It's amazing what Genius Sonority did back in the day.
It was a great game at the time. If I played it again today, I don't think I could get through how repetitive it was, even compared to other Pokémon games
@@InvitationToHadesTo be fair, most of the models and animations were reused from Stadium 0, 1, and 2. The only new models were the Trainers and 135 Pokémon from Gen III.
@orgasplosion true. The level grinding and purifying were repetitive as. I liked the games animations and the region's uniqueness but the gameplay/lack of routes/wild pokemon hindered game
@@vulcanraven9701 Beside the musical composition they made for this and XD: Gale of Darkness. I liked that they gave the pokemon at that time much more lifelike movement compared to a lot of what we get nowadays. I can definitely understand the issue of the repetitiveness with a lot of the story interactions, but I think too it was a great departure from the typical gym format that was present the following 3 generations after. If they're was any remote possibly of a remake, I would hope they modernize it and make more dynamic like Scarlet and Violet for the right reasons
@@jacurururur8848 I remember to have received Colosseum for my birthday, only few days after its release and I was absolutely stunning during the firts battle of the game! Everything was well put together, the animation was great, the battle music was awesome and also the general felling about everything. I feal sad about the cheap labour around Sword&Shield, they don't put their hearts to work anymore. 😥
I love how the violin plays along with the overdriven guitar at the end of the riff when the melody resolves. The composer loves to play wit my emotions.
I definitely love this game but masterpiece is a bit of a strong word... Even judging it solely by old standards, it had problems.

0:30 tugs at the heartstrings hard. I don't know why but electric guitars are just so damn emotional and give me this weird falling feeling. It's tough to explain.
No matter how many times I hear this theme I always get the stank face during the guitar solo And that fucking slap bass building up in the bridge is insane The instrumentation on display in this song was so ahead of it's time
You tried to save a Pokémon who's was stolen from little girl Grunts are laught, you have a little smile because you know they will perish by your Pokémon, then, the music start
Did you know? Pokemon Colosseum and XD Ghale of Darkness were created by a few people who never played any Pokémon game before they wanted to make the main character older so they can young teens can relate more
This is a game I actually want to go back and play again years later. Take notes, Gamefreak. It's too bad there isn't much replayability as far a teambuilding goes.
i remember when I thought you could get all 3 of them at the start,and I got bayleef first because it was the closest but i wanted quilava and when I realized i couldn't get it until post game i just restarted
I was too dumb as a kid to identify that the color of these dudes matched the stating Pokemon element, when for Croconaw just because I happen to exit to the south.
I'm so glad that phones are powerful enough these days that they can run Dolphin. I can take this game with me everywhere I go now and play it whenever I want.
The bass that comes in at 1:00 is so good! And that string melody at 1:12 gives me chills every time. It’s a total time capsule, as it brings me back to when I’d watch my brother play this game.
Holy crap I listen to so many Pokémon songs and didn’t realize how amazing this theme is until today (I even played Colosseum as a kid and also in 2020 when collecting ribbons for my shiny Jirachi) and in my opinion this might just be the best song in all of the Pokémon franchise. It’s flawless, 10/10
I want to hold out hope that someday a new Pokemon game in Colosseum and Gale of Darkness's style comes out and can blow me away. It's just that, ever since the mainline series's jump to 3D on the 3DS and its steady decline in quality, and the aftermath of Pokemon GO heavily influencing The Pokemon Company's business decisions going forward, it makes it that much harder to hope. It's on the same level of painful to hope for as a new true Paper Mario game or a new F-ZERO game.
I may have only done XD myself, but I’m so glad it kept so much of Colosseum’s Music so I could still listen to bopping battle tracks like this! 🤟😝 Update: I’ve now played Colosseum too. It’s just as awesome!
I remember getting xd gale of darkness for christmas when i was younger and had no clue colosseum existed so i was all out of order but it def made me go back and play colosseum and maan did i love it, going from a pretty easy game like XD to a damn difficult game like colosseum humbled my ass real quick and made me go grind 😂
I still remember getting so hyped for this game and accidentally buying the promotional disk that gave you jirachi instead since the actual game hadn't come out yet
All of these battle themes being so urgent made me feel like a lot was at stake, especially when shadow pokemon were present. I had no clue Miror B kept shadow pokemon you failed to catch, so it felt like this was the only chance I had to save them. Good times
Anti-hero A trench coat A motorcycle Espeon & Umbreon as starters Ability to catch opponent's pkmn Unique and diverse settings Complex and awesome battle animation Great story That song (and the rest of the ost) This is the superior pokemon game.
So, Wes was originally going to be the main villain of XD, but the writers wanted to keep his goals and motives in Colosseum ambiguous, especially since he was the character you played as. So it was more so up to the player to come up with Wes' true goal.
I've never had the opportunity to play Colosseum (and people selling this game and XD for $100+ is guaranteeing that I won't be able to play either one), but hearing this song makes me already love this game.
Just emulate it. It's not like Nintendo is gonna lose sales if you do. The likelihood that they do a remaster or re-release for this and XD is very slim.
Most 10 y/o pokemon protags: *I'm gonna pokemon battle your evil organization into submission!* Pokemon Colosseum protag: *Lol, have some C4!* *...THEN I'm gonna pokemon battle your evil organization into submission!*
I wish they did, I'd actually be able to play it for once. The one thing I hate about the game is that I cannot play it because of price scalpers, which I can't blame on the game.
@@starrycat1445 There's a reason for that. The game didn't sell well back then, but now it's become a cult classic. Therefore, it's in higher demand because new fans want to experience it.

I got so lucky finding both colosseum and XD at a thrift store I worked at right outta Highschool. I sold my XD trying to buy the next big game battle revolution. Years later I found both games in decent condition so I hid them in the store to wait the 3 day period. That was a mission and then at the last day I bought them both for $12, add my 50% discount and a young me walked away with two gems for $6 Replaying them and managed to fully beat XD! Next up is colosseum and I’m so ready to hear these amazing themes! >:3
Back in 2005, I would have been too afraid to play Pokémon as a sheltered boy. Shoutout to my big bro, he used me in his scheme to get PKMN XD GALEofDarkness and it worked! Yeah I consider myself hardcore! I GREW up on those hard Pyrite streets!
Because Gamefreak doesn't want to acknowledge other teams work in Smash relating to the Pokemon OST. All Pokemon music in Smash was inspired by mainline series. They also don't like to copy/paste their music in Smash that's why they're all remixes with the sole exception of X/Y music because of release timing.
Omg!!!! I love this song yo such good old memories 16 years ago my mom bought me this game at 31 years of age now seeing this game go for $1000 plus I think I wanna buy it sealed brand new just to have in my collection
pokemon back then: epic music plays while you fight the evil villains and save the world pokemon now: soccer fans chanting while you try to stop Team Cupcake from stealing all the sprinkles from the elementary school cafeteria.
If you played this for someone whos never heard of this game, they'd think this came from a Final Fantasy game or something. Or Xenoblade Chronicles (which I can't unhear) You'd never guess it was from Pokemon, or that the game it was from wasn't even main series and release 17 years ago

And that fucking slap bass building up in the bridge is insane

This is everything a battle theme should be. It starts out intense and builds to an awesome climax at 0:49
Honestly, I really wish songs of this style were in modern Pokémon games. I NEED THAT SWEET OVERDRIVE GUITAR, DAMMIT!
That's the SAME GUITAR IN MMX8 TOOO!!
Quite comfortably contagious 😊🎉❤
Wes and Rui were the best duo in the Pokémon games in my opinion.

If you played this for someone whos never heard of this game, they'd think this came from a Final Fantasy game or something. Or Xenoblade Chronicles (which I can't unhear)
You'd never guess it was from Pokemon, or that the game it was from wasn't even main series and release 17 years ago
No one thinks that
@@kinnikuboneman YOU dont think that. I've asked many people since I posted this comment and they've agreed. Im only saying the music style is similar
