Review

Pokemon Colosseum, like the Pokemon Stadium games that begat it, is primarily a way of seeing the Pokemon you've caught in Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire in full 3-D on your GameCube. By connecting a Game Boy Advance to your GameCube (link cable required) you can upload all your data from the portable games so that it appears on your GameCube and on the big screen. This means you can examine your Pokedex of over 200 Pokemon in full 3D, swap and trade items and Pokemon, view extensive tutorials, set out your hidden base, use e-cards and, most importantly, battle.

Pokemon Colosseum features a range of battlegrounds, ranging from out in the middle of Petalburg Woods to within a giant stadium with thousands of onlookers. You choose to fight the battles either against the computer, a friend or in a team battle with four people, but whatever you decide suddenly your Pokemon and all their amazing moves will be in super realistic 3-D--they look even better than they do in the cartoon. Using either the GBA or the normal GameCube controller makes the battles really come alive as you fight for honour or one of the many unlockable secrets.

The only problem with Pokemon Colosseum is that it's out so long after Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire, but if you can wait that long this an absolute must-have for any Pokefan. --David Jenkins
