Lore & World
Welcome to the arid and desolate landscape of the Orre region, a stark contrast to the lush environments typically found in the Pokémon universe. Orre is a land shaped by its harsh climate and a history steeped in conflict and the exploitation of Pokémon. Unlike other regions where Pokémon battles are a celebrated sport, in Orre, Pokémon have often been feared or used for nefarious purposes. This unique setting forms the backdrop for Pokémon Colosseum's gripping narrative, where the player, as Wes, embarks on a mission to uncover and thwart the sinister plots of the Cipher organization.
The world of Pokémon Colosseum is not just a visual spectacle; it's a narrative playground where the very nature of Pokémon and their relationship with humans is questioned. The introduction of "Shadow Pokémon" – creatures whose hearts have been darkened and their abilities amplified for evil – adds a layer of moral complexity to the game. Your journey will take you through diverse locations within Orre, from the bustling city of Phenac to the desolate canyons and the imposing Mt. Battle. Each area tells a part of the region's story, revealing the impact of Cipher's actions and the hope that Wes and Rui bring to this troubled land.
