So what's everything you would do in Colosseum to consider the game "100%" in your opinion?

A few things I'm thinking are of course catching and purifying all 48 Shadow Pokemon, completing Mt Battle mode afterwards to get Ho-oh, doing every colosseum to receive each of the 4 TMs they give you. But what else is there? I know Mirakle B shows up as an optional fight, are there any others? I just want to do as much of this game as possible. I have access to all 5 GBA games as well as XD, in case there's anything that requires trading.

I'm doing a gen 3 living dex and figured while I was at it I want to just experience everything these games can offer. I wanna take on the Battle Frontier and do the Orre Colosseum in XD, and a bunch of other stuff I just never got around to. So if there's anything that you're like "Oh you should do X in ____ game" I'll take that too

Does Timer Ball timer start at the beginning of the battle? Or when the Pokemon is sent out?

Never been too sure of this. If so, then the Timer Ball is a really solid choice as most trainers dont send their Shadow Pokemon out until last. Meaning you get at least an extra 3 or more turns usually. If it counts only when the Pokemon is sent out then it's kind of whatever as I can usually catch something within the 10 turns it takes to start being better than Ultra Balls

Edit: does anyone know if this applies to XD as well?

Did you know about this hidden area in Pyrite Cave?

According to Bulbapedia, there should be a Max Potion in that room but I never found it!

Until I discovered a hidden area in Pyrite Cave after 23 years while checking the flags for all items you can get in the game!

After collecting all items in the game, there was just 1 item's flag set to 0. Flag 164 which is the flag for a Max Potion in one of Pyrite Cave's maps. I kept searching for a good 30 minutes and finally found it😎

I wonder how many of you fellas knew about this one

how does shadow pokemon stat calcs work in conjuction with the battle?

the title doesn't make much sense, but here's an example: if i catch makuhita, reload a state and wait 5 more seconds to catch it will the stats be different or will i have to do a full rebattle each time

I have a theory the Beasts, or maybe their trainers, got mixed up.

So I noticed some similarities between the Beasts' names and the trainers that have them. vENUS and SuicUNE. and then EIN and ENteI. And finally dAKIm and rAIKou... except that the last two dont actually match and feel like they were swapped. Maybe it was just names mismatched in localisation, maybe I'm digging into it too much. I was playing and losing to Dakim a few times and wondered if the game would be easier if I got Raikou instead and then that lead me to thinking about their names. Similar to how Eusine in Crystal is nearly an anagram of Suicune.

Behold, Storage Nonsense Part 3: Trading Every Colosseum Shadow Pokémon to XD

In Part 1 of this nonsensical journey through Orre, I showed off how to fill Colo’s storage by stuffing it full of nincada’s and evolving most of them.

In Part 2, I used the expanded storage to show off what happens to the displayed met locations of all XD Shadow Pokémon when transferred “backwards” into Colosseum . TL;DR, they are almost all incorrectly displayed as existing Colo map locations (and even a couple of unused met locations!).

Now, I’ve done the reverse! And you know what’s truly shocking? They actually fixed the bug in XD! Every Pokémon received from XD is listed as “met in a distant land” as intended, despite the fact that most of XD’s met locations do actually line up with Colosseum’s.

For some final cleanup: in the last post, I received a comment from u/elsteeler linking a Bulbapedia article outlining how the map locations line up between Colo and XD, which I will link here:

https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_locations_by_index_number_in_Pok%C3%A9mon_Colosseum_and_Pok%C3%A9mon_XD

And while the table is mostly accurate from what I can tell, the article itself claims that this met location nonsense happens to BOTH Orre games. However, as the video findings show, every Pokémon but Ho-oh is labelled as “met in a distant land,” while Ho-oh is also correctly stated to be met as a fateful encounter. To be fair to Bulbapedia, the article says the met locations “may” differ between games, so maybe there is some condition I’m unaware of that messes up the XD met locations. But unless someone else is willing to do this storage nonsense and proves me wrong, I’m confident in saying that only Colosseum is affected by the differing met locations.

Additionally, the shadow Pokémon caught from Eldes, when traded to Colosseum, show a met location of “Laboratory,” marking them as the only Citadark Isle Pokémon not labelled by Colosseum as having come from Mt. Battle.

Anyways, I had a lot of fun doing this silly project! Gonna use the battle tower clones I made of all the Shadow Pokémon from both games to work on my casual Emerald 100% playthrough after this. But more immediately, Deltarune is tomorrow, so I’m gonna be all over that lol. Have a great day everybody!

If your GameCube disc is inconsistent, does it get to a point where as long as you get through a certain point it’ll keep working without fail?

Weird phrasing I apologize. Basically what I’m getting at is my F-zero disc works for hours on end as long as you get past the main menu without freezing. Anyone have that experience with this game?

I got a copy sometime ago and it never worked on my GameCube, but I tried it for the first time on Wii and it suddenly worked! But then I forgot I had no memory card in so when I plugged it in it stopped working again. I’m just curious if anyone has some reassurance here or if I truly have to just get a better copy.
