Reveal Trailer
Uncharacteristically for Nintendo, the game was revealed with a CGI trailer released around June 7th, 2006[1][2] with graphics overly ambitious for the Wii's hardware. The voice heard in the video is Former Nintendo President and CEO Satoru Iwata.[3]
- An earlier, brighter Neon Colosseum floating through the air.
- Lagoon Colosseum's theme is played in the trailer.
- Red & Leaf from The Gen 1 remakes, Colosseum and XD are present with new models; neither appear in the final game.
- Poké Ball trails and move effects look different.
- Futuristic technology is seen around the Colosseum.
- The game's UI hasn't been finalised.
- Destructible environments weren't implemented.

 | This page or section needs more images. There's a whole lotta words here, but not enough pictures. Please fix this. Specifically: Lighting comparison. |
A Trailer is uploaded from an unknown source. Shows Sunset Colosseum with less dynamic lighting. Harsh Sunlight appears to be missing the end-of-turn animation; the video fades out before it could be properly seen.
October 30th 2006 Coverage
Among Waterfall Colosseum's reveal and Sunset Colosseum getting a namedrop, Battle Passes are showcased as a feature.[4] A pink Pokétopia Jet Battle Pass with a crudely drawn r1 is seen. The featured Pokémon have different face icons from what was used in the final game. Ratatta is using its Colosseum/XD model, as it's model was remade in time for the game's Japanese release.
