 Let the Games Begin! October 8, 2005

Pokemon Stadium is a Pokemon fighting game for the Nintendo 64--not an adventure game like Red/Blue/Yellow or anything like that. In this game, you fight through different tournaments with your Pokemon, and once you beat everything, you unlock a "Round-2" mode--which I unfortunately don't know much about, since I have yet to unlock it.
You can either use "rental" Pokemon in the tournaments, or you can upload them from your Game Boy games utilizing a device called the "Transfer Pak".
You can only upload Pokemon from the Red, Blue and Yellow versions, however, because this game predates Gold, Silver, Crystal, Ruby, Sapphire and anything from then on. Also, with a cartridge in the Transfer Pak, you can do different things like trade Pokemon (if there's a second controller, Transfer Pak and Game Boy cartridge plugged in), check out their stats at Professor Oak's Laboratory, and play the game on the television using a thing called "GB (Game Boy) Tower".
WARNING WARNING WARNING: I, personally, do not recommend using Game Boy Tower, because it erased my Pokemon Yellow game when I tried it. Something went kerflooey when I tried to save my progress.
Also, if you upload Pikachu from a Yellow cartridge and you use him without registering him, he'll say his name. This I found to be a nice touch, and I wondered why ALL the Pokemon didn't do this to begin with.
Where Pokemon Stadium is concerned, the pros vastly outnumber the cons, but it might be prudent of me to list them anyway, so here they are:
The game can be very frustrating, specifically where the Pika Cup tournament is concerned. I still can't beat the darn thing.
There is an announcer who comments on the battling. Although it's an interesting touch, some may find him annoying (I don't, really, but I felt it should've been listed). Fortunately, if he gets on your nerves, you can turn him off in the Options menu.
To conclude, I will say that Pokemon Stadium is a really nice game, and I recommend it. However, if you are rather young or sensitive, you may find it a tad disturbing (even though the characters just faint; they don't ever die).
A great game with strange coincidences... April 20, 2005

Pokemon Stadium is a great game that allows trainers to battle with the pokemon that they spent sooo much time training on their GameBoy pokemon red, blue, & yellow games! Note: You cannot use pokemon from the gold, silver, crystal, ruby, and sappire games, not to mention FR/LG versions of the game. I used to love playing this game back in 1999, but during the time that I used to play this game, I started to realize strange coincidences that always seemed to work in the enemy's favor! For some strange reason, moves with low accuracy, such as FISSURE, that also terminates one pokemon in a single hit! Would strike my pokemon WAY to often! Just to clarify, this is how it works, FISSURE only has a 30% chance of hitting an opponent, yet it seemed to strike my pokemon every time without fail! I have been know to refer to these coincidences as "Cheat-detectors" Because they only seem to happen if you are literally dominating your opponent! FISSURE is only an example, these "Cheat-detectors" can pop up at any time and effect any attack, you may find your attacks continueously missing you opponents pokemon for no appearent reason!!! These Cheat-detectors also exist in PokeMon Stadium 2, but I am not sure if they exist in Pokemon Colosseum for the GameCube, but I'll bet that they are! This is not so much of a set-back as it is an annoyance, Cheat-detectors dont make the game impossible to win, but they do get in the way of winning as well as annoy you to no end. Pokemon Stadium & Pokemon Stadium 2 are worth the money and are entertaining to play! I recommend buying them, but be ready for lots of strange coincidences that effect overall game play.
Note: If you want to use your Game Boy trained pokemon from Red, Blue, or Yellow version in Pokemon Stadium... You will also need to buy a N64 Transfer Pak!

Pokemon Stadium : One of the Best Games for Nintendo 64! February 22, 2004
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
It is very hard to find good N64 games. But Pokemon Stadium (original) is listed on the "Best Games for N64" category.
Pokemon Stadium (original) is a game where you have to compete in a tournament to win badges. You can also challenge GYM LEADERS. They are a little difficult! Some of you may be saying, "But I don't have Pokemon Red nor Blue. Now I can't play the game. BOOHOOHOO! :( " Well then, you are wrong. If you don't have Red or Blue (for Game Boy), you can rent Pokemon from the game. However, you don't own them. (That means you can't train them to do special abilities.) TIRED OF BATTLING? Play some mini-games at the Kid Zone. (It's for all ages.) You can play with up to four (4) players! They are very easy to learn, but challenging to do. GB TOWER. Have Pokemon Red or Blue and the Transfer Pak? If you do, go to the GB TOWER and you can play your Pokemon Red or Blue on the big screen! I've only told you only a part of what this game has to offer. This game will keep you entertained for hours. Pokemon Stadium (original) won Player's Choice, that means it's a really good game! Get it today! You won't regret it!
Fun for all August 17, 2003
