What if there was a Pokemon Colosseum Anime?

Thier not gonna make a episode for a 3 year old game, and probably not XD.
However, mechanics and characters could make cameos, such as a bad guy using shadow balls.
 
Already covered well enough in 4Ever (though it predates the game/s) and... really, doesn't need to be given any more attention. It'd be like a Pokemon Channel adaption - it aint necessary at all.
 
But they kinda functioned the same, though. I also believe the GC games ripped off old TR episodes where TR scientists used machines to "enrage" pokemon -- just replace that vocabulary with "closing their hearts". However, if they were going to borrow elements of the GC games, I would definitely (because I'm a diehard Mewtwo fan) like to see Team Snagem or something find Mewtwo and make him a shadow pokemon -- I mean, he practically was one when he first started anyway.

In a pokemon RP I'm in, my character and another rocket were discussing how awesome it would be. (In the RP, Team Snagem's been destroyed, because it takes place after the GC games, but because it's more TV canon, some of the disbanded Team Snagem has joined Team Rocket). Of course, the main problem there would be reclaiming Mewtwo.

Not really though. The Dark Balls that Bishasu used in the movie just turned Pokemon plain evil. Team Snagem/Cipher just closes the hearts of the Pokemon, thus making them Shadow Pokemon.
 
I'd like a Pokemon Collessuem show, if they could make it dark enough. I don't think it'd hit the same target audience. Remember, anyone who can type coherently (and thus anyone here), is older than Pokemon's target audience.

Eh, no offence, but what's the difference?
 
If Celebi did become a Shadow Pokémon, no one there had the ability to see the aura.

...And bang goes my ideas for a Colosseum anime since it had Misty being Ash's Rui.
 
Evil pokemon do evil things, they seek to cause pain an destruction because that's what evil is all about. CLosing someone's heart means that they don't care what they do because they aren't getting anything from it.
Basically an Evil pokemon is still getting emotions over what they are doing, pleasure from pain etc.
Closed Heart pokemon are not getting any emotions at all, thus they don't feel pleasure, anger, etc and are more like machines...

At least that's what I get from the defenitions.

Being turned evil is essentially the same thing as 'closing off a pokémon's heart' via special ball. Why?

Because in neither case were any of the pokémon evil to begin with.

Where's the proof their actions are any different than shadow pokémon? Tyrannitar wasn't evil (or did you somehow mistake its fear for "biding its time"?), but it certainly followed a wicked man's orders after it got caught in the darkball. Rather mechanically, I might add. Celebi /definitely/ wasn't evil, but you saw how it reacted to commands. Celebi was freed, and I think Tyrannitar and the rest of Vicious' crew broke out of the trance as well. They don't need to be purified like shadow pokémon, but I don't see a difference, since both force pokémon to do actions they either aren't aware of or can't control.

'Closing off one's heart' can also mean 'not listen to reason' OR 'not feel love'. The phrase itself is open entirely up to interpretation, but seeing as I have never played the Coliseum games (and boy, do I not want to), I have no personal investment in what I think it really means. 'Evil' is also up for interpretation, or have none of you ever came across the debate over what 'dark/aku' pokémon are supposed to represent?

If I never come across another one of those for a couple of lifetimes, it'd be too soon

As for an anime? Why bother.

Not to mention
Shadow Pokemon go through Hyper mode, and a shadow Pokemon will actually go against its own master, from what I have read a long time ago.
 
There actually is a difference between "Evil" Pokemon and "Shadow" Pokemon.


Vicious states that when a Pokemon is captured by a Dark Ball,the Pokemon inside becomes evil and their powers are boosted to their maximum.Since there aren't any evil Pokemon,"evil" could mean that the Pokemon may become more wicked in nature and is capable of doing much more than just KO'ing another Pokemon and/or Human.And of course the Pokemon receives a surge in power when captured by a Dark Ball.Cuz',y'know.....all that "Training" stuff is just lame.(i don't believe the dark ball actually takes a Pokemon to their ultimate potential.it just sounds too cheap and unrealistic)


This also sounds very similar to Dr.Namba's technology who also happens to work for Team Rocket.Instead he attaches some device to a Pokemon's forehead that boosts and utilizes the power of rage.(whatever that means... probably just makes the Pokemon more pissed off)





Shadow Pokemon on the otherhand are essentially a new Pokemon type.Since all Shadow type attacks are super-effective against non-Shadow Pokemon.This is where Cipher differs from Team Rocket.Cipher's technology allows them to create Pokemon that are universally strong against every other type,which obviously makes it a hell of a lot easier to defeat an opponent.(again,all that "traning" and "strategy" stuff is for the birds....)
 
If they're just ticked off, they're not evil. Just annoyed, and their amplified attacks are a result of their rage.

At the end of the fourth movie, don't we see Scizor, Tyranitar, and Sneasel walking off into the sunset? I don't remember if it was Celebi's healing that changed them or just them being free of Vicious, but clearly they were good.

And Kitori, no offense, but your sig is so big that it needs its own ZIP code. I think you might want to downsize it.

Very well.
 
That's a bit better. Still, it's twice the size of some of the larger sigs on this forum (mine included).

I'm not being anal retentive here, I'm just trying to save you some grief from the mods later. This isn't Serebii, you know.
