While the single player game is fine, I feel I must warn folks (parents especially) who are buying this for multiplayer battles that it is not just a matter of plugging a couple of controllers in, picking your pokemon and playing. In order to play multiplayer, EACH human opponent beyond the first must have a Game Boy Advance, a link cable, and a copy of Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire with their game saved in a Pokemon center. You ALSO need to have played the RPG component of Colisseum until you have enough pokemon to battle. This, in my opinion, is an example of Nintendo trying to get as much money out of their customers as possible. To not offer a stand-alone multiplayer component in Pokemon Colisseum is very disappointing. I have two kids who love to play the old Pokemon Stadium on N64, and were very excited about Colisseum... they're now very bummed due to Nintendo's greed. Our copy of Colisseum is going back to the store... guess the kids will go back to playing Stadium...
