. Revamped TM list with 8 new TMs

. New shadow encounters

. Gym themed Colosseum battles

. Higher difficulty

. Alolan Ninetales and Marowak

.Revamped UI

 

Patreon for anyone who wants to support me here https://www.patreon.com/kya_colosseum

 

Head on over the the gamecube pokemon hacking discord https://discord.gg/aucXehNbwM to shout at me about anything I might have missed.

 

Must give a massive shoutout to Stars who has helped me throughout this process, and who without his tools I'd have not even managed to turn a Zigzagoon into a Linoone. Would also like to thank FanficPheonix, mikeyX, Brawlersinthezone and Lan for their contributions as well, couldn't have done it without you guys!

There are plenty of other features I'd love to bring to this project in the future, so anyone knowledgeable in the ways of coding who wants to work on a project like this please get in touch!


How to patch

Download either the Johto, Kanto, or Hoenn version of Grand depending on which set of starters and legendaries you want to catch and play with

Apply the patch file to a clean Pokemon ColosseumISO using any UPS patcher. This patch was made for the NTSC (US) version so it will not work on other versions. The iso is quite large so it may take a few minutes.

Always patch onto a clean ISO, even if you are applying an update.

When patching make sure file isn't a nkit file. If it is, please note that the patch will not work and you will need to convert the file into an ordinary ISO, or source another ISO.

Recommend using a fresh save for all the features to work properly

Make sure to use the nuzlocke patch after you've patched it using the main patch

I really like the work you've done with this mod, but by any chance would you be able to make it work with the PAL version of the game

I've been missing 100% accurate moves not in sandstorm/vs sand veil or having any other accuracy drops. Moves I've noticed this on are leaf blade and signal beam. Am I missing something?

Is there any chance of merging your mod with this patch?

Basically a simple model swap to replace Rui with the Uncensored Japanese model. You already changed the textures on her model for the latest update, so I don't think this would be a big ask, especially if you offer it as an optional patch, like you did with the various region starter editions of the base mod.

You ever figure out how to get those mods to work together? Cause I can't stand looking at this mods god awful Rui edit.

Yeah. Download that mod I linked and look in the readme file, it lists the folders you will need to change. Simply find a way to import JP Rui data over to Grand Colosseum and everything should work fine. I would bring over the title screen as well just to check if it worked successfully.

Here's a caveat: This works for everything BUT the cutscene where Rui is initially taken out of the sack at the beginning. You will see her in the GC jacket for a split second, but once the cutscene ends and you go back to the overworld, she should look fine(that includes her model when she sees a Shadow Pokemon). I could not find a way to change the cutscene at the start, but for everything else it should work fine.

I'm having an issue with this hack: I got all the way to the end of the game where you fight your clone but he doesn't appear in the battle or send out any pokemon and the fight ends after one turn, leading to the image linked. I can't beat the battle or capture the final shadow pokemon. Is there any way around this?

Is it a nkit file? as if so you need to put it through a program you can find over on Vims lair in order to turn it back into an ordinary ISO :)

 

Let me know how it goes!

what program are you referring to? ive been looking and cant find anything that mentions converting nkit/cISO to ISO's

Hi thanks fpr your effort to revive this awesome game and make it even better :)

Since I want to start the new nutzloke mode I'd like to know, if you are able to play the game without the type changes you implemented?

The idea is nice but I'd like to play with the original types this time.
