3rd Gen Brendan and May had 3D models before ORAS

I wanted to make a topic about a fun little trivia from Pokemon Colosseum/XD. So when you use Colosseum/XD's battle mode with GBA pokemon, the trainers turn into Brendan, May, Red or Leaf (depending on the game). What's cooler is if you register your GBA pokemon, you get to walk around as the protagonists in Mt. Battle. As shown in the pictures below.

Ah, yeah, I remember reading about this. I think, for the time, these 3d models are pretty good. I didn't know you could play as them in Mt. Battle, though... I never played Colosseum, to be fair!
