Gaming Pokemon Colosseum

Nintendo finally put the site up. This has been announced for some time now and there have already been pics (I'm sure you've seen some), but these are the clearest shots I've yet to see of it... so I thought it was worth posting (unless it was already? lol).

Obviously it's yet another Stadium incarnation... I'm lead to believe it almost as a party game aspect to it though (as the now dead Pichu Bros. game is supposedly being worked into this).

There's still the rumors and comments from Nintendo floating around that there will finally be a REAL Pokemon RPG game for GC, but who knows just yet. Would be a nice thing though.

Some idiot didn't spell Colosseum right. Colisseum is an event, namely this one. Colosseum is the building in Rome that they used to feed people to lions. So this game takes place in Rome, my question is where is the lions.

[Semjaza]

Well for all we know that's what they actually call the place in the game, rather than just the event that's going on. I see no reason why it couldn't be Pokemon Colosseum honestly.

And if you want to get [i]that[/i] technical, "colisseum" isn't even a word. :p It's coliseum and its spelling is completely and totally interchangable with the word colosseum. It doesn't always have to refer to the Roman Colosseum.

[Guest Crimson Spider]

The word is a proper noun. It is like calling it Pokemon Chicago.

[Semjaza]

Well I guess you can take that up with the various different dictionaries of the world that say they are both interchangable spellings of the same thing, unless you are specifically refering to [i]The[/i] Colosseum. I don't really care either way to be honest lol.

back on topic sheesh..

Um as for game cube rpg games.. Yes actualy there will be one... Dangit... i was searching for pictures and came across this site (which i cant remember the name to) it had info about htis game.. .and a few others like

Pokemon Box~ [url]http://www.nintendo.com/e32k3/games/nintendo_pokebox_lm8/pokebox_feat.jsp[/url]

Pokemon Channel ~ [url]http://www.nintendo.com/e32k3/games/nintendo_pokechannel_ja5/pokemonchannel8vj_feat.jsp[/url]

An of course as we are talking about...

Pokemon COLOSSEUM ~ [url]http://www.nintendo.com/e32k3/games/nintendo_pokeseum_8jm/pokemoncolisseum9v9_feat.jsp[/url]

(i know i said i forgot but lol... i searched as i typed this)

Anyways... they dont have relese dates for the US yet... who knows maybe these will never set foot in the USA... but anyways... pokemon box seems boreing to me.... from what i read... and Pokemon Channel seems a bit.... ODD

but anyways.. this is the info i have found on new games... of pokemon that will be for game cube

The name of the game is a relevent topic lol. It's still discussion involving the game.

I think we talked about Pokemon Box in the old Pokemon GC thread... as well as the stuff about the RPG from Genius Sorority and Creatures that was rumored.

Box seems rather useless... I mean, do people really need software to store tons and tons of Pokemon and organize them? Perhaps some people are into it enough that this is useful, I don't know.

Pokemon Channel just seems like Hey You! Pikachu in an even more bizarre form. I am annoyed that Nintendo is wasting resources on this, but I'm sure they'll make a profit off of it... so who can blame them..

Colosseum is obvious. Like I said here and before, the game Pichu Bros. was merged into it at some point according to Nintendo. I don't know what this entails, but hopefully it will be more interesting.

To be honest, I'm not interested in any of those. The RPG does interest me though, and honestly... I'm surprised Nintendo hasn't even attempted it yet. The rumors are also pointing to online trading and such, but I guess we'll see. The Action Replay might really kill that.

[color=indigo]I'm betting they're just going to use the Pichu Bros. game instead of mini-games like they had in the two Stadium games. Something like that, anyway.

And about the name, here's a quote from Dictionary.com:

"col·i·se·um also col·os·se·um
n.
A large amphitheater for public sports events, entertainment, or assemblies."[/color]
