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. Though what is arguably a bigger problem I have with Colosseum is that actually purifying all of the shadow Pokemon is a huge pain. 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. I was personally quite a fan of the 100 round gauntlet. Also I am not too much of a fan of the first 7 zones of Mt Battle being turned into easy exp grinding. I've already beaten Venus and I dont think I have encountered a single new shadow pokemon yet which is strange. 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 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. 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. When patching make sure file isn't a nkit file. The iso is quite large so it may take a few minutes.Īlways patch onto a clean ISO, even if you are applying an update. This patch was made for the NTSC (US) version so it will not work on other versions. Any version from 1.1 onwards has the fix, so repatching a Colosseum ISO with the new patch will ensure there's no issue with the DNA samples and you don't have to worry about losing your save when repatching.Īpply the patch file to a clean Pokemon ColosseumISO using any UPS patcher. The DNA samples in the lab are broken for versions 1.01 to 1.04. 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/texture editing who wants to work on a project like this please get in touch! 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. This is only version 1.0 so there may be a few trainers I've forgotten to update or leveled wrong, so if you find any you can head on over the the gamecube pokemon hacking discord here to shout at me about it. Stat/type/Ability updates and changes (In line with Drayano's hacks) Grand Colosseum not only acts as a difficulty hack to one of the hardest pokemon games out there, but brings a host of QOL changes, including but not limited to Very happy to finally be able to share the first full Pokemon Colosseum QOL and difficulty ROM hack to date!
