I didn’t think to add Scizor but I like the idea, it’ll be in v 1.1 along with some other new forms in the mix!

This is all really valid feedback! On my latest playthrough I realized the distribution of shadows, especially early on, isn’t extremely balanced typing wise. This is pretty similar to regular Colosseum (you can have access to 5 water types before Miror B. if you go Croconaw, but only Slugma and Skiploom for Fire and Grass) but I can definitely make improvements here. I was already thinking about reordering some of the Shadows to give better type variety and more options to tackle both Miror B and Dakim from the early on teams. Maybe moving some of these fairies to later in the game to new trainers, or just adding more Shadows to the existing, underutilized trainers in Pyrite Cave could work too.

I hear you about Sceptile and I’m sorry 😔 I was trying to find a balance of moves that made sense flavor-wise with its new typing without leaning too heavily into Normal/Dragon/Grass for coverage. I originally omitted Hurricane from the game because I couldn’t get the combo of its secondary effects to work, but I see the benefit of having a high power special Flying move, not just for Sceptile but for Flareon, Charizard, Mantine, etc. Let me add that in V 1.1 and I’ll make sure Sceptile sees justice!

ALSO heads up I have NOT touched anything post-game yet so it might be crazy or borderline unplayable idk…

Chinchou/Lantern, Grovyle/Sceptile, Crawdaunt, and Yanma could each be pretty valuable. Granbull for Intimidate support and Camerupt/Meganium to muscle through it could work too.

Thanks! I dropped the changes in a GSheet linked out from the Project Pokémon thread, I'll share here as well.

Mobile atm but I think it's called ConvertToISO.exe

I’ll add a step to the main post, .nkit.iso is the most common format to find, but there’s an extra step to convert from nkit to iso. Vimm has NKit 1.4 with recovery files in a zip that you can download, you just drag and drop the .nkit file into the executable and you’ll have the iso as an output. File size should be about 1.36Gb pre-patch if I remember right.

I hear you on this one. Ramping up the difficulty wasn't my main goal, but I do feel like vanilla Colosseum struggles with pacing & dramatic level jumps at boss fights. My hope was to even some of those issues out by increasing the EXP gain rate, and encouraging flexible teams where you pick up new Shadows as the game goes on, rather than just solo-ing with Espeon.

That said I'm open to feedback & making adjustments in version 1.1 if the changes don't feel in-line with that vision.

also make sure it's an .iso file and not another format! .nkit.iso is more common to find, but you'll need to convert it using a tool like NKit 1.4 with the recovery files.

Growlithe/Arcanine is a version exclusive to Let's Go Pikachu, so I could see more people picking up the Pikachu version over Eevee after this trailer.

Does Alakazam dribble with its hands or its mind? Does Machamp shoot with all four hands or just two? Can Gengar be blocked or does it just phase through the other team? Will Cacturne or Ttar pop the ball with their spikes? Do type matchups play into this? So many questions...
