Colosseum Text, Unused

Posted on 27 Apr 2005

Interestingly, there’s a lot of dialogue that never made it into Pokemon Colosseum. I’ve picked out parts, most still in Japanese, never translated as they’ve never been used.

I’ve been working in a potential page to hold character dialogue for Pokemon Colosseum. Interestingly, there’s a lot of dialogue that never made it into Pokemon Colosseum. I’ve picked out parts, most still in Japanese, never translated as they’ve never been used.

It seems that they originally had different Shadow Pokemon plans. Here are e-mails from NETT, with emphasis placed on the game’s unused Japanese text (which I’ve translated into English). Not emphasized text is the game’s used English text.

• I obtained the hard-to-find SHADOW KECLEON! It’s a trivial thing. Only the person who knows the password of this mail’s title will battle. They’re waiting just before Pyrite Colosseum!

• WES, I did it! I analyzed the data ROM and managed to extract a partial list of SHADOW POKéMON. For the time being, I’ve identified 29 SHADOW POKéMON. There appear to be more, so I’ll send updates when I find them.

• I obtained the hard-to-find SHADOW KECLEON! It’s a trivial thing. Only the person who knows the password of this mail’s title will battle. They’re waiting at the entrance to the Shadow Pokemon Research Lab!

• Hi, it’s NETT. I analyzed the SHADOW POKéMON LIST again and discovered six more. The additions are TYRANITAR, MISDREAVUS, SLUGMA, SMEARGLE, ABSOL, and HERACROSS. I’ll send another update if I can find any more.

• I’m DASH from PHENAC. I’m just an ordinary citizen who happens to run around the town’s fountain. So what gives you the right to have your POKéMON attack me? You don’t deserve any respect as a trainer. Shame on you!

• It’s BITT in THE UNDER. WES, I caught you on film in an unbelievable scene that’s terrible and shocking. What’s your problem? Why are you attacking people with a SHADOW TOGETIC?

• Hi, it’s NETT. I analyzed the SHADOW POKéMON LIST some more and discovered the very last one. The last SHADOW POKéMON was TOGETIC! That completes the analysis of the data ROM you provided!

• Hi, it’s NETT. I analyzed the SHADOW POKéMON LIST again and discovered six more. The additions are SKIPLOOM, QUAGSIRE, SUNFLORA, FURRET, MAGKARGO, AND MINUN.. I’ll send another update if I can find any more.

Also mentioned are “HUNTER RETAY”, “MALPES THE RIDDLE-LOVER”, and the “SHADOW GRASS POKéMON KING” who uses Grass Pokemon such as Sunkern and Chimecho. No, don’t say it. Rui already does, as seen in this translation from the unused Japanese dialogue:

Eh!? Chimecho isn’t a Grass Pokémon… It’s a Psychic Pokémon.

Furthermore, there’s a lot of talk about that Shadow Minun and about the “Six Shadow Aipom Siblings” in the unused text.
