Pokemon Grand Colosseum 3.1

Overall this mod has been tremendous! It makes me feel like I'm experiencing the game for the first time all over again. It gives me such a different experience with the new selection of pokemon, the new movepools, abilities, and typings. That being said, I have one massive gripe with the mod. So many pokemon have new typings that they didn't before (which isn't necessarily a bad thing) but there were some huge oversights in type match ups. I have been hit by moves on various pokemon that shouldn't have been super effective but were and moves that should have been super effective weren't. This happened on a select few pokemon. I double checked the updated typings just to make sure I wasn't missing something and even with the updated types it should have been a different effectiveness. This can and should be changed in a future update as it disrupts my game play horribly. Since this can be fixed so easily and since this is such a good mod aside from this one issue, I still give it 4/5 stars and I plan to eagerly play through hundreds of times with each version so I can try out every new strategy possible. Thank you for allowing me to relive my childhood again.

I am a big fan of the original games for the gamecube and because this rom hack is not too transformative I would say it is hard not to like it, I do like the increase in difficulty too. I know this is an early version of this rom hack so I didn't have the biggest expectations though I do wish there were more shadow pokemon added to it. I've already beaten Venus and I dont think I have encountered a single new shadow pokemon yet which is strange. Also I am not too much of a fan of the first 7 zones of Mt Battle being turned into easy exp grinding. I was personally quite a fan of the 100 round gauntlet. Lastly I would particularly enjoy if there were more quality of life changes, if you could manage some way to purify shadow pokemon earlier that would be quite nice.

Though what is arguably a bigger problem I have with Colosseum is that actually purifying all of the shadow Pokemon is a huge pain. I assume that is part of the reason why Mt Battle is the way it is in this hack, but it feels like a relatively inelegant solution. If there was somehow a way to integrate the purification chamber from XD into Colosseum that would probably be the best way to deal with this, but I realize doing so might be quite the undertaking. It just really sucks having to either grind for hours in Mt Battle or having to spam every enemy in the game with shadow rushes until you get enough hyper modes to purify all of the Pokemon.

I've really enjoyed this mod its a welcome improvement, however I was wondering if you would be able to make it compatible with the PAL version of the game, I only ask because I play a lot of game cube games on my retroid and NTSC game cube iso don't run as well on there as PAL iso do

Definitely enjoying this playthrough, a nice change to a game I haven't played in quite a few years. I'm glad I'm doing this playthrough in a new way. One thing I just noticed, I have Espeon with Dig and Plusle with Discharge which hits all pokemon on the field. Unfortunately, discharge is still hitting Espeon while using dig, making that a non-viable strategy

I like the game overall but is there a way to only change what mons you encounter and not hack the mons themselves.  I know it's meant to be harder but when I realized that the mons I was fighting were immune to dragon I realized that the hack went to far for me.  Just cuz I couldn't predict anything.

great rom hack, been playing for just afew hours but its so much fun!

(small complaint: dual wingbeat whole attack animation triggers twice which is a little bit annoying)

I started playing this hack a few days ago and now that I am finished and it has been a pleasant experience.
- I know that in the original there werent that many shadow pokemon, but it may have been possible to add a few more. Its mostly the same Pokemon as in the original, except for a few like Salamance out of my head. and not only the shadow pkmn, most of the trainer have the exact same pkmn.
I even remember getting Heracross here in the Pokemon Lab and in the original in Realgam Tower. It could have been a new pkmn instead of it switching with another one.
It got a little stale for me.
I find it good however, that most of the trainer pokemon are evolutions. Take for example the first trainer in the game.

- The Master Ball Glitch still is in the game. It works by catching a shadow Pokemon with your first pokemon and than switching the master ball with another ball in your items. It could be prevented by simply turning it off. So you cant switch items while in battle. It isnt a big deal, you can just avoid to do it in the first place. 
Also a wider variety of balls to buy would be a good inclusion. And not beeing able to buy balls in other places and only in Outskirt Stand.
Same goes for some other items.  Also its nice that it seemed a little easier to catch pokemon. Was the catch rate for the 3 dogs higher? I did like that. 

- Trainers tend to be a little dumb. Sometimes they boost their stats even tho they only have 10% hp left. They sometimes attack the pokemon that is resisting their attack and not the one weak to it. The lvl Cap is fine however. You are never overleveled and thats a good thing. You also dont have to grind as much. Its a good pacing.

- Items overall. I know its 3rd gen but if we take Pokemon xg for example, there was not only Choice band, but Choice specs and lifeorb included. Some others as well. Having more options when team building is always good. 
 

I did llike many quality of life changes tho. Including physical/special split was needed in these old games. Many pokemon were unusable because of that. Reusing TMs, beeing able to see your shadow pokemons nature before it is freed. That wasnt possible before.

Having said all that, I dont know how hard it is to program new things into the game. Like more shadow pokemon or new items.
I still think it was fun overall, but it could defintly improve a little

10 hours into the game and my opinion is pretty much exactly the same as JackLikesBeans. I know this is only 1.1 and the work made to enhance the difficulty is great, although I'm personally not a big fan of the types and abilities change because most of my lost battles comes from completely unexpectable strategies and it's a bit obnoxious because you know at some point you're going to be caught off guard. I wish there was some kind of toggle which would let the player decide if they want to play with Drayano's modifications. I'm curious if you guys have planned to add more battle music from the battle mode in the future? Colosseum music is cool but it's always the same few ones we get to hear. 

Hello, is the game Complete??

Im enjoying this version of colosseum a lot. The revamped encounters and moves has been a lot of fun, but there is an issue with the sceptile line. Idk if it's intended, but it seems odd to use the old version of lightning rod in a game that's so revamped. First time i used grovyle to tank a lightning move, i was severely disappointed to find myself getting hit instead of rewarded for good switching. Other than that, i dont think i have any issues with the game.

I am genuinely enjoying this, but the more that I play, the more I realize that this is still in beta form. Typings are not done properly. Muddy water just hit my meganium for super effective damage. 

If the 1st Pokemon Game made for GameCube is the hardest does that mean the 1 with Shadow Lugia is the 2nd hardest ? 

Are you also going to work on that disk as well ? 

Also wondering if you could hack it to instead of HAVING to return Bonsly if you could make it to where players are given a choice between unfortunately returning to the girl or getting to keep it ? 

I Really Loved Both Games As They Were But NEVER Was Able To Finish Either ,{and I know with your "update" that I Really Won't Be Able To Finish}, () 

Have you figured out a way to get rid of the accompanying "most of the time in the way" girl ? 

There are some things that I totally hated in the games besides never getting to finish them 

some are : 

the annoying girl that kept getting in the way , 

the makers of Pokemon making Hitmonchan males ,[I know they're for Jackie Chan but come on they look more female in hiked-up mini-skirts], 

and when I seen the 1 with Shadow Lugia in the NINTENDO Magazine ,{which in the day was an extremely excellent magazine}, I thought "WOW SHE ,(the 1 players would be), IS REALLY NEAT AM GOING TO LIKE PLAYING AS HER !!!" Then was shattered to find out it was a boy . And when I found out I thought " Come On In The 1st Was A Male ... That Was Ok .... I usually don't like playing as a boy but hey . HELLO MAKERS OF POKEMON WHY WOULD YOU MAKE THE 2nd 1 ALSO A MALE ? GIRLS LOVE PLAYING POKEMON AS WELL !!! 

I've watched the Animè ever since it came to the U.S.Of A. I can never get enough of it . I enjoyed their jukebox karaoke and their guessing\trivia game before and after the ads . And I REALLY LOVED THE MAIN THEME !!! 

Thank You So Much , Have A Nice Day !!! 

Saw this on a stream and had to try it, took me a bit to find an iso that was compatible, but it was worth it. It feels like I'm playing the game again for the first time

Cant access pc by pressing r

Great game, for those who have completed the game before here move Modifier hex codes for you to have a mess around.

I played it through first time using the Hoenn hack now with the Kanto Hack as I wanted the Water/Steel Blastoise to complete my steel type team.

I really hope one day Pokemon can produce another Colosseum game continuing on from XD using modern pokemon.

Hey there, I just discovered ROM hacks recently and was overjoyed to see this was made for one of my all-time favorite childhood games. I have beaten everything up to Realgam tower and I have 0 complaints. I'm blown away by how the creator was able to add these all of the new move animations, among everything else. The quality-of-life additions made this even better also. I had a blast replaying this game and probably plan to a few more times lol. I would love to see more content added in the future and will definitely stay tuned for updates. Thank you Kya and anyone else involved on this masterpiece, as someone who barely has some knowledge of modding, I know lots of time had to be put into this. 

I see YouTubers playing this mod, they have onix...I get in this game, I get no onix TT-TT why can't I get a steelix damn it TT0TT it's unfair it's so damn cooooool
