I do plan on making an XD video! It’ll take some time to complete the play-through, record, and edit tho! I don’t have a set date for it yet but starting the play-through prob next week on my Twitch channel
Minor update! I’m about 1/4 done with the script. I’ll be covering basically everything in the game! I wanna release sometime in April(may be later may be earlier)
As someone who beat all the rounds of Orre Colliseum good luck. I did that once and I have no interest in doing it nor will ever do it again. You ever twist a controller so hard you manage to crack it? not just the plastic casing but the actual circuit board. And this was a GameCube controller.
This is the only video I have seen of yours but it was really solid. Long enough to fully go through everything but not dragged out like some content can be. I subbed and would love to see an XD video. The only piece of advice I would give is that if this does start to take off for you to get a better microphone to prevent some of the popping in the audio as well as having a cleaner sound, but it's nowhere near something that is a problem though.
This game was quite possibly the start of my crippling addiction to pain when I play video games. Literally every single Pokemon battle has a recoil inducing move. It takes the pressure of capturing Pokemon before they struggle themselves to death, then puts it in AT THE START OF EVERY BATTLE. And I love it.
Something to note about many shadow Pokemon is that they have modified catch rates. That is why the starters(180), the legendaries and Metagross(15) are relatively painless to catch but Skarmory(15) and Tyranitar(10) are more difficult to catch. In XD almost every shadow Pokemon has a either the same catch rate or higher than normal with the birds having a catch rate of 25.
Very good info! At times catching Pokémon early mid game before MB was pain lol and it felt like some of the pokes just did not wanna get in the ball 💀
@@Cyndoughquil Most shadow pokemon have higher catch or identical rates though only a few have lower like Skarmory, Tropius, Tyranitar and Togetic. You can really feel it with Tropius as it when from 200 down to 45. The shadow Legendary beast higher catch rate makes it so that throwing a regular red and white pokeball at full health has the same chance to capture as an Ultra ball at 1 HP on a regular legendary at 2.106%! The legendary birds in XD have a higher chance to catch than 1 hp Paralyzed Bird. XD catch rate are all either higher or the same as the base Pokemon.
That’s interesting about the dogs, Raikou in particular was a nightmare to catch and I almost missed it the 1st time cuz it just wouldn’t get in the ball lmao XD I feel is the easier game in terms of catch rate, just has more Pokémon to catch
Possibly my favorite game of all time. Such a cool and concise retrospective of the campaign and postgame. This has definitely enticed me back into another playthrough. Can’t wait for the XD video! Congrats Cyndoughquil on a great video. Wishing you the best on your video production journey!
Thank you! For sure start up that play-through! This video was a pure passion project so I tried my best! I’m prob starting XD next week on my twitch, should be a fun time! Video will take a bit tho as XD is massive lmao
The number one problem I hear first timers have with colosseum is the difficulty curve but the best way I've found to countet this the 100 trainer mountain that you mentioned earlier as well as the underground colosseum. Both can be re-challenged as many times as desired offering a endless supply of money and exp. (Edit) when I said underground colosseum i meant the one you unlock after beating venus in the main game not the deep colosseum in the post game.
Yeah I remember my first time playing as a kid and sheeeesh I struggled lol This time around I actually enjoyed the challenge so I tried to avoid training as much as possible! Honestly the hardest thing about Colo for me recently was Mt Battle Jirachi fight, Trainer 90 Registeel and that damn Kyogre on level 100
@@Cyndoughquil I dunno if ya noticed it, but one thing i really enjoyed was Ho-Oh flies closer into the arena the more you have progressed with the quest. At first it just flies off into the distance after stopping the cipher escape, once you catch all shadows it will actually fly around the arena itself, purify them all and it straight up flies INTO the arena and back out again.
Before watching this video I was 600lbs and only stayed home hating on random strangers online. Watching Cyndoughquil 100% this game gave me the motivation to rethink how I live my life. Now I’m down to 180 lbs, benchpress 355, own my own company which makes billions of dollars daily, and am happily married with a supermodel wife and two kids. Thanks Cyndoughquil for this amazing video which was the catalyst for turning my life around!
I love this game, and this was a fantastic breakdown and analysis of the game. On the surface it doesn't seem that hard, but oh boy, those sweet summer child, they don't know what they were in for. This was amazing, I didn't know I needed this in my life.
It was truly a work of passion haha I love Pokémon Colosseum so much and I feel it doesn’t get the love it deserves! I figured including a story “playthrough” along with the challenge would strike some sweet nostalgia with peeps and hopefully get more ppl to check out the game! Thank you and glad you enjoyed it :)
@@Cyndoughquil A lot of people love the game, and its sequel, the only issue is it is a difficult game to actually be able to make content for, it's not as simple as an HDMI capture unit like modern systems use, and many people don't want to emulate it for content, because they respect the game too much. the first group is where I am at, thankfully I do have a necessary hook up system for it

This was a really cool video to watch! The "Orre" games as I call them are my favorite Pokemon games and I've played through both serval times. That said, I actually never knew about the ability to obtain Ho-oh on Colosseum nor that shadow Togetic battle either since I never attempted to fully purifying everything in that game. I did however fully purify everything in XD and discovered the special ending where your character takes off and removes the snag machine, which I thought was cool. Definitely looking forward to watching your playthrough of XD!
Glad you enjoyed it! Sadly I don’t think we’ll see the Orre region ever again, but they are both gems of the gamecube era. This video was the 1st time I ever got Ho-oh and it felt really good haha the togetic is apart of e-mail simulator so it’s easily missed. I’ve actually started XD, until script is complete I’ll be doing it once a week, once script is done it’ll prob be streamed almost daily so I can get all the footage needed :)

did not expect the dragonfly cave shoutout! that site was the best in like 2003, it's a relic of how dope the old internet was. taught me how to recolor sprites!
Getting the Earth Ribbon from the story mode of Mount Battle is what I consider as 100% completion and you can also transfer Pokemon from Emerald, FireRed & LeafGreen not just Ruby & Sapphire.
Fair point, for my 100% I always just considered completing the dex In Pokémon games Similar to Hollow Knight I consider ribbons, Battle Frontier etc as the extra 12% for “true” completion
The _"LOL, Miror B. is a lot like Afro Samurai, isn't he?"_ Bit was proof that Retsupurae left us far too soon. By the sixth time it was repeated, I couldn't take it anymore. I paused the video and shouted at nothing and no one, _"I WILL KILL YOU WITH MY HANDS!"_ I mean I didn't stop there, I said some more stuff- expletives mainly, but I won't go into detail. Just so you know, I wasn't seriously considering killing a man over a bad joke. I just felt I was gonna shatter like a dinner plate if I didn't vent out the uglier parts of me.
I think I found my little TH-cam brother :o I've always been reppin typhlosion. Just stumbled upon your channel looking for colosseum vids :) Started a playthrough of colosseum myself recently been having a blast ^^
Plussle is a hidden gem in this game. It's a trade Pokémon, so it will gain double the XP. If you give the XP Share and keep it in the back of your party for awhile it will not just catch up with but even outgrow its team mates. I had mine 30 levels higher than the rest at some point.
Really like the video and can’t wait for the XD one! I wish you would’ve updated us on your team periodically through the video, but overall the video was great!
Such a good game. I replayed this during quarantine, both games, and it was so nostalgic. Sent everything up right to Home. I really want a Remake, third installment or even an import for the Switch!!!! Best Pokémon games in my opinion.
It’s an amazing game that is under appreciated! The Orre region has so many unique spots and cool characters but sadly I don’t think Pokémon want to do anything regarding Colo or XD In the future :(
If this was Japanese version, (or if you're proficent enough with the Action Replay stuff) you can hack your way into Virtual Reality room, and hack all the virtual trainer battles via e-reader card pack. You can get 3 more shadow pokémon that way. This was cut in the NA & EU versions. This game is only half-done really, there's an entire third box empty for no good reason, and there were leftover game files found mentioning a whole lot more pokémon than what's available. I hope this game gets a Wind Waker HD treatment and gets re-released with all it's cut content and e-reader content restored, along with the two bonus disc content.
I wish this game would get remastered! I don’t think Pokémon have any plans to ever touch the Orre Region again sadly I wonder what the 3rd box was for tbh, and luckily I do have the jirachi bonus disc! I think the other was celebi?
@@Cyndoughquil First: Check "Cutting Floor Room" for detailed information about what I've said. My guess is, that if things went as planned, we'd get all those mentioned extra pokémon in the datamined files to fill that third box with... Yes, the other JP version exclusive bonus disc was Celebi (and a Pikachu holding Light Ball). HOWEVER: If you remember or read about obtaining Celebi requiring all 48 Shadow pokémon being captured and purified, instead of just given out like Jirachi, is because THE EVENT ITSELF IS CODED INTO THE GAME. THAT THE JP BONUS DISC ACTS LIKE AN IN GAME EVENT ITEM! Meaning, if you have a means to hack the game, you can trigger (albeit untranslated) Celebi event in your save file, and legitimately get an english Celebi in your Colosseum save file, and your GBA carts if you have the other necessary hardware (GC, GBA-GC link cable, GBA and same region games). I did so in emulator, so I guess with necessary stuff, it's also possible to do in legit console. Currently, what's missing in the base game is A Shadow Togepi, A Shadow Mareep, A Shadow Scizor (all 3 are virtual trainer room exclusives), A LightBall Pikachu and a Celebi.
Great work! Love your story telling ability. Just a small tip when you edit you may want to increase your audio as you are a soft-spoken person and sometimes you get drowned out by the Colosseum music. :)
@Cyndoughquil I was thinking wow so cool What If you could control them and do emotes jumps and moves and kept going and going till I realized ahh you wouldn't pay attention to the stream like I was just then lol
NO WAY! YOU HAVE TO DO MT BATTLE FROM THE MENU?!? when I was a kid I had long since purified every shadow Pokémon and then traded over a bunch of Pokémon from Gen 3 and beat all of Mt Battle and never got the Ho-oh and I just thought I must've done something wrong. Same thing in XD, I grinded up my team expecting to get the starter or whatever the prize was and beat it in game and never got it. I cannot believe you were supposed to do it from the freaking menu!!!
Yep haha they don’t clarify it in Coliseum but menu Mt. Battle! Actually only realized it when I was doing this play through for the video lmao. It’s a cruel cruel Pokémon world out there 🤣
I really don’t understand why people say this game is the hardest Pokémon game. Yes it’s limiting with what Pokémon you could capture, but I feel it does good providing good options for you to choose. I’ve never had an issue 100% this game, even when I was younger. Nice to see someone else actually try and 100% this game. Doesn’t get as much attention compared to is sequel, XD
This game for sure deserves attention especially with how Ehh the newer Pokémon games are! For me, I usually tried to purify shadow Pokémon when I got them and would switch out Pokémon that could level up so I was always under leveled stuck with just Shadow rush, but I enjoy the challenge. Shame we’ll never see a mature Pokémon game like Colo and XD again tho 😞
Great Video! It would be awesome to see the XD run, I think I was able to get lugia purified when I was younger but never did the ho-oh so great to see!
Thank you!! I Deff know I can improve future videos so I wanna make the XD even better! This was actually my first time getting Ho-oh, I had no idea it was in Colo when I was a kid
Colosseum was and still is to this day a timeless classic. Although i'll never forgive Gamefreak for getting rid of The Under in XD, that was my favorite place in the game, the soundtrack of the place goes hard after all these years.
@@Cyndoughquil The sad thing is that you're probably right about that. We might probably never see another Orre game ever again, let alone a remake or remaster of either Colosseum or XD. With Today's Gamefreak's philosophy on how their games are nowadays it's highly likely they'll butcher up these games.
I have zero reason why, but every time I play through either Colo or XD my strategy will eventually wind up being "1 STAB move, one double hit/coverage move, Protect/setup move, EQ" on just about all of my pokemon (unless EQ is already the STAB/double hit move, in which case it'll be another setup move or protect). It's probably because so many pokemon have either ground weakness or bad/shit physical defense stats.
As a big fan of the Orre games, I say you should go for XD! It has a lot more shadow pokemon, but more quality of life improvements. No cool secret like Ho-Oh, but at least the shadows have unique moves.
100% agree with ya! Lugia is arguably the best legendary so getting that is worth! Plus I overall think XD is the better of the 2, more areas and content!
@@Cyndoughquil It sucks that it's more of a defensive pokemon, and therefore, a weak shadow to use. Especially if you don't save a slot for it against Greevil, the one time where shadow resistance matters to it.
I remember playing this game fairly blindly and ended up learning there was an extra time flute at the top of the battle mountain. I was thoroughly dissapointed to learn this after apending an eternity with Togetic
This video is such an oddity to me, because the question that it poses.. is immediately thrown out until the second half of the video. O_o I kinda have to wonder what the intended audience for this video is since most of it is just telling me what a plain old playthrough of what this game is like is. But it also seems like a weird question to ask, because catching all of the shadow Pokemon is like... the point. If you're not going to do it, why even play the game at all? It's not like not catching the shadow Pokemon is that much easier than catching them (especially since you're willing to reuse the master ball)
It's really not that hard once you get the Master ball, because you can use the glitch to keep reusing it by switching it's item spot on your second command after selecting it on your first. Infinite Master ball glitch. You get the master ball right before a lot of the very hard high level encounters happen in the game.
Have you looked up doing the E-Reader Rooms on the US version? Accessible via Action Replay codes. Will need a Japanese E-Reader Plus (need the Plus) and printing the Dot Codes on material stiff enough to scan on real hardware. Pretty easy to do via Emulation as well. Getting shadow Togepi, Mareep, and Scizor would technically be "true" 100%. Or 103%.
@@Cyndoughquil Depends on how authentic you want it to be, and whether you care about transferring these rare Shadows forward 1. No matter what, if you want to do it on Real Hardware, you’ll need a Japanese E-Reader Plus. GBA is region-Free, as is the GBA-GCN link, which you'll also need. 2. If you want to be 100% authentic, you’ll also need a Japanese Gamecube, a copy of Japanese Colosseum, and a Japanese Ruby or Sapphire or Emerald (GBA-GCN connectivity between games is region-locked). And have to play through the game again in Japanese. Action Replays can break the Region Lock, though, and allow you to play Japanese games on non-Japanese Gamecubes. Soft-Modding a Wii can do the same. So you’ll just need a copy of Japanese Colo. There are also ways to convert your NA Save to a Japanese Save on PC, but it needs a way to extract the save file from the Memory Card. One of the ways is with a modded GameCube or a modded Wii to extract the save. Soft-modding a Wii is probably the easiest, and you won’t have to play through the whole game again. Then just do the process as normal. Print out the Dot Codes on something stiff like Photo paper (the real cards are super expensive), scan all 24 cards three times, get Togepi/Mareep/Scizor, trade to Japanese RSE, trade to NA RSE, and can transfer it forward (Pal Park is region-locked). 3. Alternatively, there’s an Action Replay code that allows you to access the E-Reader room in NA Colo. So you’ll just need an Action Replay, and don’t need Japanese Colo. The Japanese E-Reader Plus is surprisingly compatible with the NA version of Colo (but not the PAL version). The E-Reader language will be in Japanese, but it’s easy to navigate with instructions. Everything else in the E-Reader room (other than the Shadow Trainer dialogue) was translated to English, and the Japanese cards work just fine with the transfer (E-Reader Plus and the Colo cards were never released in NA). NA Colo Shadow Togepi/Mareep/Scizor will be generated in English and can be transferred forward to Home. Technically, people will know that these Pokémon were not officially obtained because they're in English, and they were not officially obtainable on non-Japanese Colo. But Game Freak’s hack checks aren’t that thorough. 4. This can all be done on Emulator for free if you just want to show it off in a video. Saves can be transferred to and from real hardware though with a modded console or GBA Cart Dumping hardware.
@dabom88 HOLY Thanks for the info! Will have to research and see if it’s even something worth doing one day. Emulation could be viable for sure as well, could be dope for a future video!
I appreciate that! A lot of my viewers say they watch my vids to go to sleep (in a good way) haha I believe radical red is my next Pokémon related vid coming!
Even a game with only 48 catchable pokemon feels like it has more post content than Pokemon post XY(Scarlet/Violet might be different, didn't get to beat those yet)
I’d agree with that. Crazy that the sequel XD has prob double or triple the content Colosseum has. Scar/Vio have decent postgame stuff but it’s mainly just 6/7 Star raids
Fun fact. The dumb 8 year old I was always thought that Silva's name was saliva and my brain did not think to question that until today at the ripe old age of 24 when I heard you said his name. For 16 years i thought that dudes name was saliva 🥴
Howdy! I recently caught and purified all the shadows (yet to go for Ho-Oh). When I did the battle for Shadow Togetic, I easily caught it but would go on to lose the battle. I saved over my old file being excited that I finished all the Pokémon, but I’m finding it impossible to rematch the guy that pretends he’s you. I know it’s not the biggest deal but it feels wrong to consider the file 100% when people still act like they hate me for attacking them with a shadow togetic 😂 Did you run into this problem or have any suggestions?
I was able to fight him again even after catching togetic and losing the 1st time. All I had to do was speak to him again at Outskirt but if that isn’t working for you, I’m not too sure then 💀
@@Cyndoughquil I remember going back and he literally wasn’t there LMAO Re interacted with the tv and everything, what I’ve decided to eventually do is download a nearly complete save of the game on PC, play up to that point and PKHEX my exact team into the game to fight him. If it’s a glitch I can’t help I at least want the satisfaction of knowing I beat him
That’s fair! That’s also odd the game does that, wonder if it checks for him to have shadow togetic in his party and if he doesn’t it just despawns him lmao
@@Cyndoughquil if you re-fought with no issue, I think my problem was that I basically purified the Togetic right after I got it. The guy might despawn if the game sees I have everything purified. But yeah, I still want the satisfaction of beating him with my team so I think I’ll try to just do the battle on another file
Would you consider doing the two big mods for XD (XG:Next Gen) and Colosseum (grand colosseum)? They're huge improvements on the base game, the difficulty is definitely there, and XG actually has a post game legendary hunt unlike XD
@@Cyndoughquil oh yeah they were, played through them both (without 100%) and they were fun, a ton more shadow Pokemon in XG, plus Wailord gets drizzle. Budget Kyogre is a blast.
ive been meaning to get back into this game. (i stopped halfway and skipped a few shadow pokemon i think?) so... i gotta catch em all? and beat em all to get the ho-ho? i didnt realise it was even in the game. (i also have to start gale of darkness)
It’s a great game, for sure suggest getting back into it! You have to catch and purify all shadow Pokémon and beat the Mt Battle 100 trainer challenge to get Ho-oh
@@Cyndoughquil Wanna hear something stupid? When I got put to sleep and attacked with dream eater, I restarted the whole game because I thought it erased my whole pokemon's mind. Like an in real time kinda thing

The _"LOL, Miror B. is a lot like Afro Samurai, isn't he?"_ Bit was proof that Retsupurae left us far too soon. By the sixth time it was repeated, I couldn't take it anymore. I paused the video and shouted at nothing and no one, _"I WILL KILL YOU WITH MY HANDS!"_
I mean I didn't stop there, I said some more stuff- expletives mainly, but I won't go into detail. Just so you know, I wasn't seriously considering killing a man over a bad joke. I just felt I was gonna shatter like a dinner plate if I didn't vent out the uglier parts of me.
Lmaoooo fair fair
Damn such a good video! You got a talent when it comes to explaining Pokémon games
I think I found my little TH-cam brother :o I've always been reppin typhlosion. Just stumbled upon your channel looking for colosseum vids :) Started a playthrough of colosseum myself recently been having a blast ^^
Ayy welcome! The Cyn line is the best starter line for sure!
And hope the Colo playthrough goes well! It’s soooooo good and underrated
That Registeel was trying to end the whole run. cyndouShambles
It took many attempts and I honestly thought the run was dead 😭
Great video man! You gave me some much needed nostalgia. I hope we get to see another game in the orre region in our lifetime
Of course 💪🏻! We can only hope, I’d take ports or remakes any day!
Plussle is a hidden gem in this game. It's a trade Pokémon, so it will gain double the XP. If you give the XP Share and keep it in the back of your party for awhile it will not just catch up with but even outgrow its team mates. I had mine 30 levels higher than the rest at some point.
30 levels is crazy haha but yeah me personally not a huge fan of plusle so I always box it immediately lol
@@Cyndoughquil Plusle with Helping Hand to boost Suicune with Surf and Mystic Water is a huge amount of power though.
@Leto85 you ain’t wrong haha that would’ve been nice during the playthru for sure
Really like the video and can’t wait for the XD one! I wish you would’ve updated us on your team periodically through the video, but overall the video was great!
I agree with the team updates! For sure meant to do it for Mt.Battle specifically!
XD vid is in the works! Hoping to release soon! :)
Such a good game. I replayed this during quarantine, both games, and it was so nostalgic. Sent everything up right to Home. I really want a Remake, third installment or even an import for the Switch!!!! Best Pokémon games in my opinion.
It’s an amazing game that is under appreciated! The Orre region has so many unique spots and cool characters but sadly I don’t think Pokémon want to do anything regarding Colo or XD In the future :(
If this was Japanese version, (or if you're proficent enough with the Action Replay stuff) you can hack your way into Virtual Reality room, and hack all the virtual trainer battles via e-reader card pack. You can get 3 more shadow pokémon that way. This was cut in the NA & EU versions.
This game is only half-done really, there's an entire third box empty for no good reason, and there were leftover game files found mentioning a whole lot more pokémon than what's available. I hope this game gets a Wind Waker HD treatment and gets re-released with all it's cut content and e-reader content restored, along with the two bonus disc content.
I wish this game would get remastered! I don’t think Pokémon have any plans to ever touch the Orre Region again sadly
I wonder what the 3rd box was for tbh, and luckily I do have the jirachi bonus disc! I think the other was celebi?
@@Cyndoughquil First: Check "Cutting Floor Room" for detailed information about what I've said. My guess is, that if things went as planned, we'd get all those mentioned extra pokémon in the datamined files to fill that third box with...
Yes, the other JP version exclusive bonus disc was Celebi (and a Pikachu holding Light Ball). HOWEVER: If you remember or read about obtaining Celebi requiring all 48 Shadow pokémon being captured and purified, instead of just given out like Jirachi, is because THE EVENT ITSELF IS CODED INTO THE GAME. THAT THE JP BONUS DISC ACTS LIKE AN IN GAME EVENT ITEM! Meaning, if you have a means to hack the game, you can trigger (albeit untranslated) Celebi event in your save file, and legitimately get an english Celebi in your Colosseum save file, and your GBA carts if you have the other necessary hardware (GC, GBA-GC link cable, GBA and same region games). I did so in emulator, so I guess with necessary stuff, it's also possible to do in legit console.
Currently, what's missing in the base game is A Shadow Togepi, A Shadow Mareep, A Shadow Scizor (all 3 are virtual trainer room exclusives), A LightBall Pikachu and a Celebi.
watching this while going back and playing through ORAS again, thanks for the good background noise!
Glad you enjoyed it! ORAS is amazing! Make sure to complete the dex 👀
This video really purified my heart.
Sick video man, I loved this game growing up!
Great work! Love your story telling ability. Just a small tip when you edit you may want to increase your audio as you are a soft-spoken person and sometimes you get drowned out by the Colosseum music. :)
Thank you! And yes will Deff up my own audio for the XD video!!
glad to see XD coming, subbed and looking forward to it
Thank you for the sub! I’m currently working on the playthrough portion but XD 100% is massive lmao so I’ll say video will take some time to come out
Half way through I started watching the little pokemon avatars and had to restart 10 mins of footage 10/10
Lmao I’m sorry they were distracting 😂😂
@Cyndoughquil I was thinking wow so cool What If you could control them and do emotes jumps and moves and kept going and going till I realized ahh you wouldn't pay attention to the stream like I was just then lol
The cool thing with the Pokémon avatars is all that is possible on stream! You can jump, fight, sling etc etc!
@@Cyndoughquil pikachu face :D
NO WAY! YOU HAVE TO DO MT BATTLE FROM THE MENU?!? when I was a kid I had long since purified every shadow Pokémon and then traded over a bunch of Pokémon from Gen 3 and beat all of Mt Battle and never got the Ho-oh and I just thought I must've done something wrong. Same thing in XD, I grinded up my team expecting to get the starter or whatever the prize was and beat it in game and never got it. I cannot believe you were supposed to do it from the freaking menu!!!
Yep haha they don’t clarify it in Coliseum but menu Mt. Battle!
Actually only realized it when I was doing this play through for the video lmao. It’s a cruel cruel Pokémon world out there 🤣
This video was really well done 🤙
Looking forward to gale of darkness!
Thank you! XD is already in the works! Getting through the play-through part of the project now, 100% is a huge task for this game 😂
With your channel name, someday you should ask your fans to draw you a picture of Cyndaqiul and Fidough lying on each other sleeping.
I’d love to see that actually lmao
I really don’t understand why people say this game is the hardest Pokémon game. Yes it’s limiting with what Pokémon you could capture, but I feel it does good providing good options for you to choose. I’ve never had an issue 100% this game, even when I was younger.
Nice to see someone else actually try and 100% this game. Doesn’t get as much attention compared to is sequel, XD
This game for sure deserves attention especially with how Ehh the newer Pokémon games are! For me, I usually tried to purify shadow Pokémon when I got them and would switch out Pokémon that could level up so I was always under leveled stuck with just Shadow rush, but I enjoy the challenge.
Shame we’ll never see a mature Pokémon game like Colo and XD again tho 😞
Great Video! It would be awesome to see the XD run, I think I was able to get lugia purified when I was younger but never did the ho-oh so great to see!
Thank you!! I Deff know I can improve future videos so I wanna make the XD even better!
This was actually my first time getting Ho-oh, I had no idea it was in Colo when I was a kid
I give this essay a C for Cullaseeum
Nice vid! Loved this game growing up
Thank you! It’s a masterpiece! 🔥
4:56 We see afrosamurai and sephiroth... that made me laugh hahaha🤣🤣
They practically spitting images 🤣
Cynny coming in hot with the hard work
I legit thought this was FF7 for a second
…..
Colosseum was and still is to this day a timeless classic. Although i'll never forgive Gamefreak for getting rid of The Under in XD, that was my favorite place in the game, the soundtrack of the place goes hard after all these years.
100% agree! I won’t forgive that we prob won’t see the Orre region again! The music, characters and stories were such a blast
@@Cyndoughquil The sad thing is that you're probably right about that. We might probably never see another Orre game ever again, let alone a remake or remaster of either Colosseum or XD. With Today's Gamefreak's philosophy on how their games are nowadays it's highly likely they'll butcher up these games.
I think GF came out and said they didn’t like the mature setting of the game or something and almost wanna forget Orre exist :(
@@Cyndoughquil Well that's lame coming from them.
Well Gamefreak didn't make XD and Colosseum it was pokemon company so blame them.
Your thumbnail is great!
I have zero reason why, but every time I play through either Colo or XD my strategy will eventually wind up being "1 STAB move, one double hit/coverage move, Protect/setup move, EQ" on just about all of my pokemon (unless EQ is already the STAB/double hit move, in which case it'll be another setup move or protect). It's probably because so many pokemon have either ground weakness or bad/shit physical defense stats.
It’s a great Strat for these games! Most mons get devastated by EQ. I’ve found special attackers get bodied in these games too often lol
This and 2 need a remaster, yesterday.
Remasters for sure and a 3rd game while as well!
This video changed my life 🤯
So glad I could be apart of something that great
As a big fan of the Orre games, I say you should go for XD! It has a lot more shadow pokemon, but more quality of life improvements. No cool secret like Ho-Oh, but at least the shadows have unique moves.
100% agree with ya!
Lugia is arguably the best legendary so getting that is worth! Plus I overall think XD is the better of the 2, more areas and content!
@@Cyndoughquil It sucks that it's more of a defensive pokemon, and therefore, a weak shadow to use. Especially if you don't save a slot for it against Greevil, the one time where shadow resistance matters to it.
I agree! Mann talking about XD has me excited to 100% it!
@@Cyndoughquil I'm glad! I recently finished the story without evolving Eevee to see if there was any special dialogue. ... there was not.
LMAO rip the dream
Congrats on 60k man what an awesome video!
my dawg
I remember playing this game fairly blindly and ended up learning there was an extra time flute at the top of the battle mountain. I was thoroughly dissapointed to learn this after apending an eternity with Togetic
I feel ya there haha my first play through I missed both extra time flutes and had no idea about the colognes that help purify shadow Pokémon
It is very hard to 100% ANY Pokemon game...
Very true
Great vid 👌
I used to always save whenever possible in the event i missed a pokemon that can't be re-encountered
Same here! It’s such a hassle to miss a shadow since battles can take forever
I always read the mayor's dialogue in Danny DeVito's voice.
Currently going through this to get the ho-oh and a few other mons before Bank disappears! Its a fun grind!
Good luck! Game is a masterpiece so enjoy your playthru!
This video is such an oddity to me, because the question that it poses.. is immediately thrown out until the second half of the video. O_o I kinda have to wonder what the intended audience for this video is since most of it is just telling me what a plain old playthrough of what this game is like is. But it also seems like a weird question to ask, because catching all of the shadow Pokemon is like... the point. If you're not going to do it, why even play the game at all? It's not like not catching the shadow Pokemon is that much easier than catching them (especially since you're willing to reuse the master ball)
The things I would to play this game again
Do itttttt
It's really not that hard once you get the Master ball, because you can use the glitch to keep reusing it by switching it's item spot on your second command after selecting it on your first. Infinite Master ball glitch. You get the master ball right before a lot of the very hard high level encounters happen in the game.
I initially put this video on as background noise as I got ready for bed but as I heard that Afro Samurai joke, I stopped I was doing to subscribe.
I appreciate that very much! 🔥plus had to give the goat a nice little reference
Have you looked up doing the E-Reader Rooms on the US version? Accessible via Action Replay codes. Will need a Japanese E-Reader Plus (need the Plus) and printing the Dot Codes on material stiff enough to scan on real hardware.
Pretty easy to do via Emulation as well.
Getting shadow Togepi, Mareep, and Scizor would technically be "true" 100%. Or 103%.
I have not! Would love to do that if able but I can’t imagine how expensive all that could be
@@Cyndoughquil Depends on how authentic you want it to be, and whether you care about transferring these rare Shadows forward
1. No matter what, if you want to do it on Real Hardware, you’ll need a Japanese E-Reader Plus. GBA is region-Free, as is the GBA-GCN link, which you'll also need.
2. If you want to be 100% authentic, you’ll also need a Japanese Gamecube, a copy of Japanese Colosseum, and a Japanese Ruby or Sapphire or Emerald (GBA-GCN connectivity between games is region-locked). And have to play through the game again in Japanese.
Action Replays can break the Region Lock, though, and allow you to play Japanese games on non-Japanese Gamecubes. Soft-Modding a Wii can do the same. So you’ll just need a copy of Japanese Colo.
There are also ways to convert your NA Save to a Japanese Save on PC, but it needs a way to extract the save file from the Memory Card. One of the ways is with a modded GameCube or a modded Wii to extract the save. Soft-modding a Wii is probably the easiest, and you won’t have to play through the whole game again.
Then just do the process as normal. Print out the Dot Codes on something stiff like Photo paper (the real cards are super expensive), scan all 24 cards three times, get Togepi/Mareep/Scizor, trade to Japanese RSE, trade to NA RSE, and can transfer it forward (Pal Park is region-locked).
3. Alternatively, there’s an Action Replay code that allows you to access the E-Reader room in NA Colo. So you’ll just need an Action Replay, and don’t need Japanese Colo. The Japanese E-Reader Plus is surprisingly compatible with the NA version of Colo (but not the PAL version). The E-Reader language will be in Japanese, but it’s easy to navigate with instructions. Everything else in the E-Reader room (other than the Shadow Trainer dialogue) was translated to English, and the Japanese cards work just fine with the transfer (E-Reader Plus and the Colo cards were never released in NA).
NA Colo Shadow Togepi/Mareep/Scizor will be generated in English and can be transferred forward to Home. Technically, people will know that these Pokémon were not officially obtained because they're in English, and they were not officially obtainable on non-Japanese Colo. But Game Freak’s hack checks aren’t that thorough.
4. This can all be done on Emulator for free if you just want to show it off in a video. Saves can be transferred to and from real hardware though with a modded console or GBA Cart Dumping hardware.
@dabom88 HOLY
Thanks for the info! Will have to research and see if it’s even something worth doing one day. Emulation could be viable for sure as well, could be dope for a future video!
Great video! looking forward for the XD vid :D
Thank You! 💪🏻💪🏻 XD will for sure take some time to complete but I’ve already started playing through!
well done 38 hours is a good runtime!
Thank you! Yeah I was pretty happy with the time it took since I had prob a few hours stopping to record and name clips etc etc
you should make Pokémon walkthrough man, your voice is soothing.
I appreciate that! A lot of my viewers say they watch my vids to go to sleep (in a good way) haha
I believe radical red is my next Pokémon related vid coming!
Hells yeah man Pokemon is awesome! Dude you also play Halo? We gotta play sometime together soon bro.@@Cyndoughquil
I thought you had to beat all 100 trainers without dying so I never bothered.
So that’s true, but you get continues and each trainer you beat gives you 1 continue. But if you run out then it’s a full reset
I’m subbing purely for the amazing name
Thank you! 💪🏻 your name is pretty dope!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Absolutely love that channel name! Insta sub!
Thank you! Next vid is the XD so it’ll take some time to come out :)
Gale of Darkness is amazing! So much fun!
In the process of writing the script up so look out for it 👀
Even a game with only 48 catchable pokemon feels like it has more post content than Pokemon post XY(Scarlet/Violet might be different, didn't get to beat those yet)
I’d agree with that. Crazy that the sequel XD has prob double or triple the content Colosseum has.
Scar/Vio have decent postgame stuff but it’s mainly just 6/7 Star raids
Fun fact. The dumb 8 year old I was always thought that Silva's name was saliva and my brain did not think to question that until today at the ripe old age of 24 when I heard you said his name. For 16 years i thought that dudes name was saliva 🥴
Lmao that ain’t too too bad tho! 😂
Lit video bruv
Ah, yes, a man of culture
No one has ever made a video about truly 100 per centing Pokémon Colosseum by importuning and recorded every Pokémon on the in game Phone by trading.
he forced me to comment. help he has my family and my pikachu
Howdy! I recently caught and purified all the shadows (yet to go for Ho-Oh).
When I did the battle for Shadow Togetic, I easily caught it but would go on to lose the battle. I saved over my old file being excited that I finished all the Pokémon, but I’m finding it impossible to rematch the guy that pretends he’s you. I know it’s not the biggest deal but it feels wrong to consider the file 100% when people still act like they hate me for attacking them with a shadow togetic 😂
Did you run into this problem or have any suggestions?
I was able to fight him again even after catching togetic and losing the 1st time.
All I had to do was speak to him again at Outskirt but if that isn’t working for you, I’m not too sure then 💀
@@Cyndoughquil I remember going back and he literally wasn’t there LMAO
Re interacted with the tv and everything, what I’ve decided to eventually do is download a nearly complete save of the game on PC, play up to that point and PKHEX my exact team into the game to fight him. If it’s a glitch I can’t help I at least want the satisfaction of knowing I beat him
That’s fair! That’s also odd the game does that, wonder if it checks for him to have shadow togetic in his party and if he doesn’t it just despawns him lmao
@@Cyndoughquil if you re-fought with no issue, I think my problem was that I basically purified the Togetic right after I got it. The guy might despawn if the game sees I have everything purified.
But yeah, I still want the satisfaction of beating him with my team so I think I’ll try to just do the battle on another file
Ahhh that may be it then! I’d consider him one of the tougher fights in the game so good luck! :)
it’s simple. when i see a new video on colosseum pop up in my recommended. i click it
💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Afro samurai and Sephiroth lmfao😂
Had to mix it up 👀
It's very accurate
awesome vid !
Thank you! Already workin on the XD 100%!
Would you consider doing the two big mods for XD (XG:Next Gen) and Colosseum (grand colosseum)? They're huge improvements on the base game, the difficulty is definitely there, and XG actually has a post game legendary hunt unlike XD
100% would be down to do those! After the XD 100% they sound like a good time
@@Cyndoughquil oh yeah they were, played through them both (without 100%) and they were fun, a ton more shadow Pokemon in XG, plus Wailord gets drizzle. Budget Kyogre is a blast.
I’m bout it! I’ve been suggested XG before but never got around to it
I understand there could be a hard game I grew up with that game
XD is probably a 8 because Mt battle 3 times for the starters ...
Everyones playing this right now?
Yes just reached deep coliseum
@gangbangingtec Deep is 🔥🔥🔥
Amazing 🔥🔥
ive been meaning to get back into this game.
(i stopped halfway and skipped a few shadow pokemon i think?)
so... i gotta catch em all? and beat em all to get the ho-ho?
i didnt realise it was even in the game.
(i also have to start gale of darkness)
It’s a great game, for sure suggest getting back into it!
You have to catch and purify all shadow Pokémon and beat the Mt Battle 100 trainer challenge to get Ho-oh
@@Cyndoughquil a big task... I could at least do a 100% on a second play?
Oh for sure yeah!
Was the Orre Colosseum in this game? And will Orre Colosseum be required to complete on the Gale of Darkness run?
No Orre Colo in this game but in XD! I’ll be doing a full 100% which includes all the colosseums, I’m not excited for the Orre one lol
@@Cyndoughquil Good luck. That colossuem made me hate Gardevoir as a pokemon for years.
LMAO I can’t wait to struggle 💀
@@Cyndoughquil Wanna hear something stupid? When I got put to sleep and attacked with dream eater, I restarted the whole game because I thought it erased my whole pokemon's mind. Like an in real time kinda thing
LMAO I’d be in shambles from something like that
This really fills my Ultraballs… if u know what I mean
Based
Am in the underground right now on my second play through am going to do this fully complete the game
Hell yeah! Games a masterpiece so enjoy! :)
10:24 "our mango"
Lmao
1:16 Antagonist??? You mean Protagonist
Yeah that’s my bad LOL
That's actually the easy task I've always considered getting all lvl 100 lost the memory card need to start up again eventually
Ahh losing a memory card is the worst 😞
@@Cyndoughquil absolutely was the worst man lol.. great video by the way I really enjoyed it

Best part
22 mins of Registeel hell had built up 💀💀
Regice
I think he added it to his count
LMAO
I swear some games feel impossible to 100% lol! This game felt that way to me lol
Especially Pokémon! I’d say this one is a bit more forgiving as opposed to the mainline games!
Great vid.
