The Pokémon Colosseum series (Japanese: ポケモンコロシアムシリーズ Pokémon Colosseum series) is a side series of Pokémon games for the Nintendo GameCube released during Generation III and compatible with the games of that generation. In the games of this series, players can upload Pokémon from their Game Boy Advance games to battle in 3D in VS Mode, featuring various classes for Trainers to beat; extra gameplay, however, is included in the form of an RPG which allows Trainers to catch Pokémon in the desolate region of Orre, a region that the games takes place in. Players who didn't have any core series games could still rent almost all 386 Pokémon at the time in certain modes.

Discontinuation and later plans
When Generation IV was released, a game that plays quite similarly to the Pokémon Stadium series, under the name of Pokémon Battle Revolution, was released. In the most basic sense, the Colosseum series had concluded. However, during the Pokémon Presents presentation on January 9, 2020, the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series game Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX was announced for the Nintendo Switch as a remake of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team, which sparked hope that The Pokémon Company would finally be open to more remakes outside of the core series.
Trivia
- These are the only Pokémon games:
- Released after Pokémon Crystal that are RPG games not to give the player the choice of playing as either a boy or a girl.
- That are part of the side series to contain similar mechanics to the core series games.
- That players can catch other Trainers' Pokémon in an RPG game.
