Once I get this outrageous title, I will use the old pokemon characters (i.e. Red, Blue, or Yellow) to play through the entire game. However, don't take this game on until you beat the original Pokemon Stadium in both Rounds 1 and 2. You thought it was enough. Think again! The battles are not over! You have 2 more rounds to face in this upcoming adventure. You get to pick from 4 tournaments:
Little Cup=Level 5 or lower.
Nintendo Cup=Level 50-55.
Challenge Cup=Pika, Petit, Poke, and Prime Cups.
Ultra Cup=Pokemon up to Level 100.
You might think this is the same as the original, but don't worry! You'll get to meet new characters (i.e. Chikorita, Cyndaquil, Totodile, etc.). See ya!
Take it from the stadium champ

I was the East vs. West pokemon champion march 5 2000 in wood bridge New Jersey. I'm a pokemon pro and i feel that this game if good for all ages. It has a rough pokemon satdium and it also has the long awaited stadium gs which allows you to compete with the brand new pokemon.All in all u can battle with 249 pokemon ( even though there are 251 so most likely they are hidden characters) If you own pokemon stadium there is no need to by a transfer pack but if you don't i suggest bying one because it is the only way u can use the pokemon you train your self. Good Luck to all new and old trainers alike.

Pokemon Stadium isnt that much different from the first, but its pokemon and we love it. The concept of the game is the same where you choose you favourite pokemon to battle against the computer or against a friend. If you are a die-hard pokemon fan then i recommend that you buy this game to remain the ultimate pokemon champion. Pika

This is a very very good game. I'd recommend it to any people who are pokemaniacs like me. Let me give you a preview.
In Pokemon Stadium 2, it is like regular battles in glorious 3-D. Everything here has a different mode and essential.
White City- This where you will find the Stadium, your room, the labratory, Gym Leader's Castle, Minigames,Poke School, GB tower and of course a free battle zone.
Gallery- You can take pictures of your pokemon here. At a Pokemon Snap Station you can print out your pics.
Stadium- Four tournaments to beat here. Little Cup- Level 5 or lower. Poke Cup- Level 50-55. Prime Cup- Level 100 or lower. And the Challenge Cup for random battles.
Lab- Here is a PC, Pokedex, Trade Machine Service....... Just like the first Stadium game!
Gym Castles- Battle Gym Leaders from Gold, Silver, Red, Blue,and Yellow. I haven't mentioned it yet but there's a new game coming out.
Your Room- This is like victory palace. You can see your room from Gold'n Silver.
Free Battle- Battle friends here.
GB Tower-Play your pokegames here.
Poke Academy- you can take tests here you can also learn about Pokemon.
Pokemon Stadium 2 is the best, in my opinion

Pokemon Stadium 2 is, in 1 absolutely honest word, GREAT. Absolutely great. The Academy is wonderful, letting you look at lectures and take Poke-Quizzes and test-battle against other student trainers. The battles are a bit more physical, as the Pokemon actually attack each other now. There are 3 levels in the Academy: 1. Pokemon Trainer 2. Pokemon Gym Leader 3. Pokemon Elite Four The test battles are on your knowledge of Pokemon, and give you an already-chosen team of 6 Pokemon. You have to choose the right 3 Pokemon to qualify and earn a star for that trainer. If you earn 3 stars, and pass the Poke-Quiz, you get a medal and qualify for the next level.
The mini-games are as follows: 1. Gutsy Golbat, in which you are a Golbat that flies around, trying to eat hearts and trying to Tackle the hearts out of the other Golbats, while avoiding Magnemites. It gets really confusing, so not a real good game, in my opinion. 2. Barrier Ball, a 4-player Pong-type game in which Mr. Mimes creates a Barrier and bounces around Poke Balls. If you score, +1 point. If you get scored on, -1 point. It's pretty fun. 3. Clear-Cut Challenge, my personal favorite. YOu are either a Scyther or a Pinsir, waiting to try to cut a log as close as you can to the white line. If you cut above the line, though, you get minus points. Right on the line, 20 points. Come close, 10. Then 5, then 4, and so on. If you get on the line once, you are usually guaranteed a win.(I got 4 perfects out of 5 once.) 4. Topsy-Turvy, a Hitmontop game where you spin on your head inside a circle, then try to press A and use Rapid Spin and knock the other Hitmontop out of the circle. I'm not that good at it, but still a good game. 5. Furret's Frolic, a furret basketball-type game where Furrets try to Headbutt the Pokeballs into their goal. Pokeballs are worth 1 point, Greatballs are 2, Ultraballs are 3, and the Masterball is 5. 6. Pichu's Power Plant, a game similar to the Pikachu/Voltorb game from Stadium 1, you charge as much as you can, except little orb things pop up from either up, down, left, or right, and you have the press the control pad in that direction, then press the button, either B or A. 7. Rampage Rollout, a fun game, where 4 Donphans have to roll 9 laps around a short track. It's not as simple as you think, as 2nd-4th place finishers EACH LAP get a supply of dust clouds to make other Donphan step on them and slow down for a while. 8. Streaming Stampede, similar to the 'Roll Call' game in Mario Party 2, except that Pokemon run across the screen while you try to count a certain Pokemon. It gets harder as it goes on, and the final count, all the Pokemon that appear, gives you 40 points for a perfect count. Other counts, 10=perfect, 5=close. The 4th count: 20=perfect, 10=close. I am pretty good at this game. 9. Tumbling Togepi, sort of like the Run Rattata Run game from P.S.1, is a race game in which if you step on arrows, then you roll, causing you to go faster, and if you step on obstacles, then you slow down. I am not very good at this game. 10. Delibird's Delivery, a simple present-delivering game(as is Delibird's only move PRESENT), requires you to move to the other side of the field and pick up presents and deliver them to the other side. Quite simple, yet nice. 11. Chansey's Egg Emergency, where you are divided into 4 vertical sections and have to press L and R to catch the falling eggs. There are 100 falling eggs per sections, and there are Voltorbs that zap you if you get them. I have gotten a perfect score of 100 once. 12. Eager Eevee, a game in which 4 Eevees run around the outside of a basket, then as soon as an Aipom lifts the basket, then dash for the fruit inside. But sometimes there are Pinecos that give you penalty. A is to dash inside, and B is to fake a dash. Well, that's all! I'm sorry I couldn't say much about the battling, but I hope my info helped you!!!
This game kicks ..!!

Wow Pokemon Stadium 2 is awesome. Better graphics than the first one. Lots more stuff to do like Poke academy updated lab. And all new Pokemon added from Silver & Gold. This is a definite purchase for pokemaniacs and hard-core trainers. This Pokemon Stadium is rumored to be compatible with the new upcoming version of Pokemon?? Anyway new battling effects such as the Pokemon actually hitting each other this time around. New tourney modes and a bunch of other stuff. Trust me buy it!! Oh yeah one more thing if you beat everything PS2 you will have a chance to rent and play with Celebi the next ultra rare Pokemon like Mew. Very Cool!!
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.

Pikachu isn't on the box or cartridge. Pikachu is in the game though. Pikachu is available as a rental Pokemon and many opposing Pokemon trainers also have Pikachu on their rosters but occasionally may not bring Pikachu out.
