So I bought Gale of Darkness a few years ago (didn't grow up with a GameCube), and I really enjoyed it, played through it twice. While I was sending some Pokemon up to my Bank last week I thought "Why not be a greedy bastard and get another Psycho Boost Lugia?" So I beat the game a third time, and I don't know if it's because of repetition or if it's just aged poorly, but it wasn't as fun as I remember.
The battles dragged on sometimes, and the animations seemed slow occasionally (which I've heard a lot of people complain about, but it never bothered me until now). I've been wanting Colosseum for a while now, and I wanted to know how it compares to Gale. The lack of a Purify Chamber is kind of a turn off, but the story seems pretty good from what I've heard. Plus I want to know if there's any Pokemon with unique movesets worth sending up like in Gale, the list of Shadow Pokemon didn't seem to have anything special.
