game viewed from a
third-person perspective.
The player, controlling a
Pokémon Trainer named Wes (default name), moves through various towns and other locations (traversed using a type of one-wheeled motorcycle), battling enemy Trainers and completing quests. Items are purchased at "Pokémon Mart" locations using the game's currency, "Pokémon Dollars" (). When a battle starts, the screen switches to a
turn-based interface where the player's and enemies' Pokémon fight. Most battles are of the "double battle" format, which means two Pokémon on each side at one time. However, each Trainer can carry up to six Pokémon at one time, so once a Pokémon is defeated, his or her Trainer must switch out another one unless no more are left. Battles are also conducted at "Colosseums" in several cities.

Plot
Setting
''Pokémon Colosseum'' is set in the Orre region. Orre is a mostly desertous region in which no wild Pokémon can be found (although the sequel, ''Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness'', adds wild Pokémon spots to the region). Orre consists of many cities, towns, and Colosseums.

is about to present the Shadow Pokémon prize, but another one recognizes Wes. The pair then battle their way through the building and the maze-like Pyrite Cave set in the rock behind. Eventually, they face and defeat Miror B. and free Plusle, ousting Miror B. from Pyrite. A team of kids working in Duking's house introduce themselves as members of an anti-Cipher news network, known as the Kids Grid, who pledge their help to Wes and Rui.
Their next stop is Agate Village, a forested village in the mountains home to many retired trainers including Rui's grandparents. As Rui introduces Wes to her grandfather Eagun, another villager runs into the room, telling them that the Relic Stone—a shrine protected by
Celebi that can purify Shadow Pokémon—is under attack. Wes, following Eagun to the center of the tree, fights off four Cipher agents before the Relic Stone is safe. Shortly after, Wes receives an e-mail from Duking saying that Mt. Battle, a battling facility built above a volcano, is under attack by Cipher, so Wes and Rui leave to resolve the crisis.
Upon reaching Mt. Battle, Wes and Rui find that Cipher has already taken over the first section of the mountain. After battling nine other Trainers, Wes battles another Cipher Admin, Dakim, who attacks the Area 1 leader Vander because he holds a relic called a Time Flute that has the ability to summon Celebi to the Relic Stone. After defeating Dakim, the Pyrite police chief e-mails Wes saying that he captured two of Miror B.'s underlings. After returning to the Pyrite Town jail, Wes finds from the underlings that they were arrested trying to sneak into The Under, an underground city located underneath Pyrite Town.
Wes swipes a key from one of the underlings and uses it to operate an elevator in Pyrite Building that leads them to The Under.
Down below, Wes finds that The Under is controlled by another Cipher Admin, Venus, who controls the underground city through TV broadcasts around the city and like Miror B., distributes Shadow Pokémon to the winners of Colosseum challenges. She warns the residents through a broadcast that there are spies among them, making the residents immediately suspicious of them. They also find more members of the Kids Grid are here, who have been cut off from the others because Venus is jamming their signal. After departing from Kids Grid, the residents of The Under claim to have caught a spy, Duking's friend Silva. Silva gives Wes and Rui a disk to reach Venus' studio and Wes and Rui face and defeat her. After Wes confronts Venus she attempts to flee to the Shadow Pokémon Lab, a covert facility in the desert where Pokémon are transformed into Shadow Pokémon, via an underground train. However, Wes and Rui catch up before she can leave, so she slips away from them to avoid leading them there. However, she drops her key to the train on the way out, so Wes picks it up and drives the train to the lab.
Inside the lab, two Cipher Peons intercept them and attempt to seal off the lab by creating an explosion. However, Wes and Rui pick up a dropped key to the lab's main gate and continue their infiltration from the main entrance. Eventually, they find and defeat another of the Cipher Admins, Ein, who is the head researcher of the facility.
Wes and Rui then go to Realgam Tower. All four administrators are there and ready to face Wes again. After doing so, he is granted access to the Colosseum at the top of the building. There, he is greeted by a large crowd. A Cipher man named Nascour tells Wes that he will have to face four trainers. After Wes defeats all four trainers, Nascour fights him. Once defeated, Nascour tries to leave, only to be interrupted by Es Cade, who reveals that he is really none other than Evice, the head of Cipher, and battles Wes. When Wes defeats him, Evice attempts to escape using a helicopter, but the legendary Pokémon
Ho-Oh swoops in and blasts it out of the sky. Evice and Nascour are then taken into custody.

predecessors ''
Pokémon Stadium'' and ''
Pokémon Stadium 2'' had served as home console counterparts to the
first- and second-generation handheld titles, ''Colosseum'' had a similar role for the third generation.
The new concept for ''Pokémon Colosseum'' was influenced by RPGs such as ''
Final Fantasy VII'' and ''
Persona 2'' over the ''Pokémon'' mold. When asked in an interview with
Prima Games why the gameplay of ''Colosseum'' did not mirror that of the handheld ''Pokémon'' games, ''Pokémon'' director
Junichi Masuda explained: "How players communicate with each other has been key to the ''Pokémon'' games – it is the backbone of all ''Pokémon'' game designs. I feel that the handheld systems work better than the home-based consoles. It's certainly possible to come up with concepts for home-based consoles, but we might then have to change the core of the game."
The transition to 3D also brought new graphical changes. Wes was designed to look "hazy" and about 17 years old.
Genius Sonority ported most of the models and animations of first- and second-generation Pokémon from ''Stadium'' and ''Stadium 2''.

Nintendo also published supplementary media to unlock additional content. Pre-ordered copies of the game came with a bonus disc that contains trailers for the game and the film ''
Pokémon: Jirachi Wish Maker''. The North American disc also contains the exclusive Pokémon
Jirachi that can be downloaded to the player's copy of ''Ruby'' or ''Sapphire''. The Japanese release contains a downloadable Celebi instead and requires a completed save file of Pokémon Colosseum. The disc also updates the software in ''Ruby'' and ''Sapphire'' to remove a "berry glitch" discovered in 2003. Despite public anticipation the Bonus Disc was not released in PAL territories, prompting Nintendo to issue an official apology. However a Jirachi was later included in the PAL version of the game
Pokémon Channel. In Japan, scannable cards for the
Nintendo e-Reader were available for purchase that featured additional trainers to battle and capture Shadow Pokémon.

Sales
Three weeks before its release, pre-orders of ''Pokémon Colosseum'' made it the best-selling game on

In the game's first week of release in the United Kingdom, it boosted the GameCube's market share from 16% to 32%. It was the best-selling GameCube game of May 2004, and fourteenth among all consoles. In 2005, the game was certified as part of Nintendo's
Player's Choice line in North America, representing at least 250,000 copies sold.
As of 2007, the game has sold over 1.15 million copies in the United States
