Saw a YouTube video on this game and remembered it's been a decade+ since I last played Colosseum. Unfortunately the base game aged poorly imo. Music slaps, but the plot is nowhere and the game is clunky. The double battles are an interesting aspect and having a limited pool of pokemon to use definitely forces some creativity. Grand Colosseum is all the OG Colosseum is with some additional difficulty tacked on. Some of it is good and cool and rewarding to overcome, but the last third or so of this game feels like a slog. Wish it held up more. Overall a semi-fun experience that overstays its welcome with difficulty spikes and a bland world.
