Five Star Fun!

With three gamers in the household I can tell you that Pokemon Stadium 2 is a game that will stay popular long after the others are gone. The basic format of the N64 game is the same as the basic format of the card game. You collect, train, & trade Pokemon in order to have the best team & win the most battles. But the fun of the N64 game is you don't have to keep up with the details of hit points & the complicated rules of the card game. It's a great alternative for younger kids who want to play Pokemon but don't have the hours to spend learning the rules & perfecting their skills. Other great features include the photo section where you can take pictures of the different Pokemon & store your favorites in an album. My guys had a blast trying to catch the Pokemon in funny poses & especially Gastly trying to pass gas. The game is a total "blast" itself, (pardon the pun.) Note about the cartoon violence: The violence is no worse than what is typical in the older cartoons such Bugs Bunny, Road Runner & Coyote, and other shows of that era.

One Word - Beautiful!

I'm very picky about games most of the time, but considering how great the first "Stadium" was, I HAD to get the second! (The third in Japan, America never received the original. That's for the better though - in that version, not even ONE THIRD of the first set of Pokemon were avalible! Tsk, tsk, tsk...) The graphics are incredible, to say the least! In Gym Leader Castle, each gym has it's own unique beauty, ranging from a rooftop with a sandy floor to a place that resembles a freezer. The Pokemon themselves have also had a little makeover. The original 151 Pokemon we all know and love don't look too different, but now and then you can catch a new animation for attacking that didn't exsist before. The new Pokemon on the other hand, are much more graceful and detailed than their "ancestors." (Can you say "Steelix" or "Espeon"?) Steel Pokemon actually look like they're made out of metal! And attacks also have a new taste! "Ember" and "Thunder" look alot better, and new attacks look more realistic than the old! ( "Flame Wheel" was MADE for Arcanine, you hear me? ) The sounds and music are better, too! I'll spare you my long ramblings and just say this- Miltank, the cow Pokemon, actually sounds like a real MOO! Unfortunatly, Hitmonlee still sounds like it's burping. ^_^ Be fore I end this, I'll warn everyone - the mini-games are TOO hard! That doesn't affect that star rating though.

Pretty nice follow up!

I had been waiting the release of this game, and when I actually got it, it was not bad at all. It has all the new pokemon from gold/silver, including the rare Celebi (which is only aquired two ways.) The gym leaders are also back and it allows you (with the use of an expansion pack), to get mystery gifts daily in your GB cartidge daily. You can upload all of the previous versions of pokemon for gameboy, as well as the new ones and the yet-to-come Pokemon Crystal. Overall it is targeted at youngsters, but thrilling enough to still please slightly older audiences as well.

awsome

Dear readers of this review,
I have played this game and I think you should let people age 4 and up play this game. The mini games on this game are the funest things to play, the best mini game is topsy turvy.

I love Pokemon Stadium 2. It's a great game. My favorite feature is that you can play Pokemon Crystal in the GB tower, even though the box says it's only compatible with Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold and Silver.

Fun, Fun, Fun

If you love the fist one, you'll like the second. It is a whole lot better because if you don't know what the attacks do, you just push the D-pad to the direction where the move is and it will tell you the affects, the accuarcy, and the power. It is a lot more creative than the first. The best is the music. It rocks! The mini-games are fun, too! I like the Chansey one because you have to catch eggs and the eggs are fast.

the cute,the fun,and the unusual

This is the perfect sequel to the best selling "Poke'mon Stadium", released in 2000. Poke'mon Stadium featured the original 150 Poke'mon and had fun but limited feature. This version features over 250 Poke'mon and lots of new features! Earl's Pokémon Academy and Pokéquizzes help you become ultimate master trainer and a 3D feature lets you design and view your room on Game Boy Color*! New mini-games amuse you for hours if battling is not your thing, and the Free Battle area lets you battle up to 4 people at once! You can even have teams (eg. 1P & 2P vs. 3P & 4P or 1P & 2P vs. COM; so many possibilities)! In conclusion, I say that this is a MUST HAVE for the Poke'mon and Nintendo 64 enthusiast.

Be a Pokemon Master!

If you are a Pokemon master, this game is the one for you!The best part about it are the battles. They are a lot better than Gameboy. It is much more fun watching and instructing your Pokemon(what moves they do). Also, like in Gameboy, you can battle the gym leaders. There are two ways to get the Pokemon you want to battle with. 1.Buying a transfer pack(not included). If you have special Pokemon on your Gameboy games, you can carry those Pokemon onto the Nintendo screen using this 2. You can "rent" Pokemon(these are included with the game). There are lots of neat ones, but my brother was really bummed out because there was no Lugia or Ho-oh. The only way to get them was the Transfer Pack. If you get tired of battling(which is easy to do) there are always the Mini-Games. These are cute little games based on different Pokemon. My favorite is the Chansy one, where you try to catch eggs in your pocket. It is really neat! These are what I do since I'm not as big a Pokemon fan as my brother. This game has something for everyone, but the catch is it gets tiring after a while if you are not really into Pokemon. So think carefully before buying this!

For Pokemon, this game is great!

I don't really like Pokemon, I've kind of outgrown it. However, this is an amazing game, especially for Pokemon. It is among the greatest of the last wave of N64 titles. The visuals and sound are perfect for the N64, with all the Pokemon's cries from the game incorporated into 64-bit sounds, amazing attack effects (especially the special-type ones), and smooth animations. There are more minigames in this, many are in a style similar to Mario Party. Overall, if you are either really into Pokemon, losing interest, or just looking for a great late N64 game, then this is a great choice.
