*ressurects old thread, XD*
I've been a Pokémon game fan for a long time (although the anime didn't do much for me), and I was seriously excited about a 3D RPG (and also a sort of "Stadium sequel"), but I was a little disappointed in Colosseum.
The graphics aren't bad, and the story's original, and the character designs eventually grew on me, but I just found the game kinda... boring. I miss exploring routes, and capturing and raising any pokemon you want. Also I dislike double battles to single, and the whole game is double battling. (Well there's a single option in Colosseum mode). I think I've gotten as far as The Under, and haven't played the game in a month, which is highly unusual for me with new games, and even more so for a Pokémon one.
I honestly think this game would have been fine as just the Colosseum Mode with more Stadium features, because the battle sequences are really nice and some of the battle arenas are beautiful. Some of the music's pretty cool as well. I was really irked though, that you have to connect with a GBA with a Ruby/Sapphire game in it in order to multiplayer battle.
