Pokémon Colosseum/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[Breather Boss]]: For being the boss of Team Snagem, Gonzap isn't all that hard of a guy to battle, especially compared to the Cipher Admin rematches you had before him. While he loves having his Pokémon use Earthquake like Dakim, he isn't able to protect his other Pokémon from friendly fire, so he ends up crippling his team while his Pokémon can be easily picked off. The only truly annoying part of his fight is trying to catch his Shadow Skarmory which is particularly obnoxious, but it's still more annoying and time consuming rather than truly difficult.

* [[Complete Monster]]: ''Ein''. In a team full of bastards who are dedicated to turning Pokémon into vicious killing-machines, Ein is the worst of the bunch as he is the one who ''created'' the process in the first place, and seeks to perfect the process.

* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: This game introduced the hilariously eccentric disco-maniac Miror B. And by association, Ludicolo became a lot more popular since its hilariously awesome Mexican pineapple duck design had a lot more attention called to it than in the mainstream Hoenn games.

* [[Goddamned Boss]]: Unlike almost every other high-ranking member of Cipher, Venus's Pokémon don't make use of devastating attacks and aren't particularly dangerous by themselves. However, she LOVES to spam Attract which make it to where Pokémon of the opposite gender are very unlikely to attack each turn, and ALL of her Pokémon know it. She also has various other moves like Thunder Wave, Confuse Ray, and Curse (The Ghost variant) to stack on top of that to annoy you to death.

** There's also Justy of the Pre Gym whose main strategy is to spam Double Team. Over. And. OVER. Again. Add in the fact that he also uses Sandstorm to chip away at your Pokémon's health while his Pokémon get their bulk increased (or even worse, their accuracy boosted EVEN MORE), and you have a painfully obnoxious boss battle on your hands that is an absolutely miserable experience all around. On the bright side though, you get the Double Team TM for beating him, meaning that YOU get to use this strategy against your foes...

** Miror B. isn't ''hard'' per se, but his Ludicolo team is still annoying to take down. They're all fully evolved Pokémon in a portion where you mostly fight non-evolved/not fully evolved Pokémon that boost great defensive stats and can gradually recover health with Rain Dance + Rain Dish and Leech Seed. There' also the fact that thanks to their great Water/Grass typing, they're weak to pretty much nothing up to this point, leaving you to smack them with the strongest attacks you have.

* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: Dr. Ein crosses this just by ''inventing'' the Shadow Pokemon system (without a shred of remorse, and actually with a desire to ''improve'' it), and {{spoiler|Evice and Nascour}} just by leading the whole operation. Particularly {{spoiler|Evice since he oversaw all these despicable actions while posing as the friendly mayor of Phenac City.}}

* [[Play the Game Skip the Story]]: Fans and former fans demanded a more plot-driven Pokémon game or for a [[Darker and Edgier]] entry to the series. They get ''Colosseum'' and...the responses are either "WTF where are the wilds?" "Why is this not like ''Pokemon Red or Blue''?", "Shadow Pokémon? WTF are they babbling on about I wanna EV train!", "Double Battles? I ''HATE'' Double Battles!", while the [[Darker and Edgier]] stuff was mostly completely ignored by the "Pokémon is kiddy" age-ghetto types.
