Topic: New details on RPG mode of Pokemon Colosseum in Nov NP!!

[jmoe316]

Direct from page 103 of November 03 issue of NP:

"We've got a major announcement that's going to blow away your expectations for Pokemon Colosseum. The GCN game's going to include a scenario-based adventure mode! In an original story line, you'll investigate a mysterious organization that turns Pokemon into Dark Pokemon. And you'll also see a new character with an unusual new power! We've got a first look based on the Japanese version of the game."

( 6 Screenshots)
CAPTION: Though we don't know much about the never-before-seen character, we do know that his power enables him to snatch Pokemon away from opposing Trainers. After revealing a Poke Ball from his sleeve, he releases his special power in a blaze of energy! Check out the exclusive shots of his cool move.

(3 More Screenshots)
CAPTION: You'll see the fresh character in a wide variety of locations-all of which are new to the Pokemon world, and some of which appear to be the perfect sites for massive showdowns!


This is some good news! I am glad to see some effort being put towards this mode instead of Nintendo just slopping something together to put some more things on the feature list of the game. This game might actually be worth checking out for the RPG mode alone. Obviously it aint gonna be some 40 hour adventure, but heck, it should still be fun!

Wow! I was gonna buy it anyway but.. this sounds incredible! I really wish we were getting this game this year. Oh well, GOTY 2004 then

This game will sell millions. Dark Pokemon! Dark Pokemon is an awesome concept, ive always wanted a dark evil themed Pokemon game. I cant wait for this game!

Thanks for that.

hmmm guess no one here is interested in Pokemon Colloseum.

Nope.
Personally, I hated the Stadium games on N64. I wasted $100 on a game with about as much interaction as a Sega CD game. *Hides* ^^
This RPG element does sound pretty nifty, but I'll wait and see. I have a feeling it'll be undercooked, and the game will mostly focus on the Sega CD bit again.

OUUUUUUUUUUUUCH! I'LL TAKE THE MOUNTAIN DEW!
