Colo had its flaws, but I loved it for being different from the standard pokemon formula. And for being pretty difficult, all things considered. Add actual routes (along with the god-tier locations, dungeons, and large city hubs) and include wild pokemon instead of shadow pokemon, and it'd be pretty much perfect. Oh, and allow you to play as with all single battles, all double battles, or a mix.
