Wow I haven't seen this game run before. Neat! Colosseum would make a good live action movie if they could find someone ~*fabulous*~ enough to play Miror B
I like to believe that the stars aligned when Genius Sonority got the permit to make this game, and the subsequent effort (graphics, battle animations, etc) they put in to making their first game turned out to be phenomenal. Colosseum was my first Gamecube game. I loved it then, and I still love it to this day.🤣🤣
Was fun to watch.. and shocked myself when the donation about 131 came in and I was able to pull it from my memories that it was Lapras. No idea how I was able to remember that.
48:45 OMG as a kid I only knew about the entrance at the bottom, so I thought Croconaw was the ONLY option and I couldn't believe you could choose a different one
2:23:50 Aren't they supposed to be like, fame chasers? Because they hang out with Mirror B. and all over the more shadier, underground style collosseum areas? But yes. They are called 'Rocker' in the german version iirc, which is a slang term for our take on greasers and fancy biker people. So i think that's what they were going for with the design.
this game is really challenging but purifying all the Pokemon and getting Ho-oh is tedious. But I liked using Espeon and Umbreon as well as the Legendary Beasts for the first time to complete a game. I wasn't able to use any of these in Pokemon Gold back in the day.
There's another Colosseum runner, Sparkle, who at one point dubbed Lapras "Bingus" for Ironmon, mostly just cause it was a funny name. His community loved it so much I guess it was put in as a bidwar name! I don't know if it exactly came from there but I assume it probably did, and I wanted it to win since I like my fellow Colosseum runners :D
Bingus is apparently the name of a hairless cat and has become somewhat of a meme. Whether thats implying Espeon is the hairless cat of the eeveelutions or not, I'm not sure.
omg.... why the hell aint they calling out to the quilava to lower that heart gadge for speedrunning? edit... going for dig when they can go magnitude was gutsy.... also why doesn't folks go with grass from the city?
No calling because that uses a turn up and they'll unlock the necessary moves fast enough without it. If you mean why no Bayleef? They mentioned the issue with Razor Leaf being a weak move that hits both enemies (double the animation time0, but it's also got worse speed and attacking stats, so won't KO things as fast.
This game despite being over ten years old has some of the best battle animations of any Pokémon game
20, to be more exact
This game is almost 20 years old.
it's almost 20 years old
.... which is a PROBLEM, GAME FREAK. AAAUGH.
Nostalgic also loved this game but xd man just that game was wow
I am a MASSIVE Pokemon Colosseum fan. I soft reset myself an Adamant Shadow Vibrava and got every Gen 3 ribbon on him.
Vibrava is a good Time Flute target for an ingame run.
One of my favorite games from my childhood, which absolutely ruined my understanding of which pokemon were gen 2 or 3.
I love this game!!!! And love this speedrun! Go Swiftalu!!!

Four hours seems like a long time for a speedrun, but knowing this game that's like, nothing.
I think it used to be like 6
Anyone got the link to that PowerPoint?
Yup! Here you go! docs.google.com/presentation/d/1VuiKT4oseiRtmACao-KNRs4Z-7CROLp7z-_-u3bsOTw/edit?usp=sharing

20 years later and we’re still waiting for a main series game to be as challenging or as well animated as this.
Also Espeon is my favourite Pokémon altogether but Leafeon is GREAT and Mae is WRONG
great how she baited all the Leafeon fans into donating
What an incredible run! This was so much fun to watch! Well done to Swift and the whole couch. Such a delight! 😃
And well done chat!

Enjoying this speedrun so far, but had to comment I love and respect our trans Quilava. What an icon

is there a link to the powerpoint mentioned in the video?
Certainly! Here you go :D docs.google.com/presentation/d/1VuiKT4oseiRtmACao-KNRs4Z-7CROLp7z-_-u3bsOTw/edit?usp=sharing
My fav game ever!!!!!
And I thought beating this game in 12 hours was fast 🤣
Lets goo!
1:40:19 oh hey it's Prof. Turo back in the day.

Soooo what's the deal with "Bingus"? Is there a story behind that name? Other than that it sounds funny?

I'm 70 hours in and still have plenty to do.
Weird how the only grass move Leafeon gets in this game is Hidden Power
Trapinch has 100 atk not 130
SALSA!
Hi
great run, this game seems like it’d be a really boring and monotonous speedrun so it’s cool to see people try despite that
trans rights for trans Quilava!
Trans Quilava
Heheheh. Bingus.

TRANS RIGHTS ARE QUILAVA RIGHTS
