Let me put it this way.
Imagine them adding the Shadow mechanic from Colosseum to modern Pokemon. It would universally be met with scorn. So forgive my questions when people suddenly try to say Colosseum was seen as a good game now. I lived that shit, I know it wasn't seen as good. People hated it, people were upset that we got half-assed limited crap instead of a true Pokemon game on Gamecube.
Maybe XD actually improved, I don't know. But Colosseum had a reputation for being bad, and it earned that reputation.
I beat Call of Duty 4. In one day.
WHAT UP!
