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.

The most outrageous arcade smash is ready for action!

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!

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!!!

Yet More Pokemon

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

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.

...and I'm in college and love this game...

I found out about Pokemon characters in another Nintendo game, Super Smash Brothers. I spent many hours annoying friends with Piakchu's battle cry and shortly after rented Pokemon Stadium. I loved the game play in it and a friend and I spent many hours in front of the tv hooting and hollering at each other in the midst of battle.

The other day, Pokemon Stadium 2 hit the shelves and I debated about renting it, said what the heck and just bought it. After investing my money it, I came home, showed it to a few people in the dorm and shortly had three or four people in my room. We had back seat battlers calling out commands to the people with controllers and people wandering in to see what was going on. One of the nice things about the game is the ability for 4 controllers to be used. I was curious how they were going to do this and found out it's in the free battle arena. Each person chooses 6 Pokemon and then right before the battle begins you choose 3 each and then switch between trainers in battle, a bit like a tag team.

About half of the game is one player and the rest of it is in two -four player mode.

I'm still working my way through the gyms and, yes, they do get harder as you move along. I've been frustrated by some of the higher trainers more than once.

The "battle now" idea they have is very good. If you and a friend want to sit down and have a quick little go between the two of you this is a good way to go. It is right there on the main screen and you click on it and the system randomly picks 6 Pokemon for you to battle with, this can be done in one or two player mode.

The little mini-games are so cute. If you pay attention to your own screen, un-like I did the first time, you should do well. If you want to make sure you win there is an easy setting, if you want a challenge set the system to hard.

In event battle there are 4 cups, the Prime Cup, the Poke Cup, the Little Cup and the Challenge Cup. In the challenge cup instead of you using your Pokemon's the computer picks them for you and you can battle on the settings for the Prime, Poke and little cups.

To be honest, I have yet to get through everything. I'm currently working on finding a Gameboy Pokemon game so that I can access everything this game has to offer, (as in Pokemon Stadium you need a transfer pack, and sadly it's not included in the game) yet with out it I've had many hours of battle already. Those new Pokemon are toooo cute. My faves? Of the new guys, I've found good battle buddies in Jumpluff, Skarmory, and Girafarig. My tried and true battle companions from Pokemon Stadium are Rapidash, Pikachu and Snorlax. Now... who'll help you win all those battles?

Pokémon Stadium 2! Better than 1!

This is a great game. In Pokémon Stadium 2, there are a lot of changes and a lot of updates. In GB Tower, you can play your Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold, Silver or Crystal. There are 12 new mini games, new Gym Leaders for Gym Leader Castle, and my personal favorite feature, Mystery Gift. On the Main Menu there is a button that says 'Mystery Gift'. What this does is lets you do Mystery Gift with a girl every day. This is good if you want to get new items to make your '3D Room' look cool in White City, get new items, dolls, beds, consoles and more. My cousin and I like to make fun of the girl there. For example, I did Mystery Gift with the girl, I got PSNCUREBERRY when she got an N64. Not fair right? Like I mentioned before, there is a feature that let's you see your room in 3D. Very detailed! You can see the stiches in the Charmander doll, you can see the console with all the details, see you posters and more! I highly recommend this game for people who like Pokémon!

Pikachu reference

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.

The last of the great N64 games.

It may be considered the N64's swan song. This game is utterly incredible. There's a fantastic amount of things to do in this game, and if you have any of the Game Boy games, and a transfer pack, then you'll love this game to death. The tournaments in Pokemon Stadium 2 will force you to become a tactical trainer. Customizing your Pokemon with different moves and making you a better trainer. The graphics, play control, music, and everything else are perfect in all senses of the word. I strongly recommend you pick up this game while you still have a chance to find it.

I love this game!

The original Pokemon Stadium was the place to organize Pokemon, items, and boxes. You could pit your Pokemon from the Red, Blue, and Yellow versions against the trainers or the Game Boy gym leaders or you could rent Pokemon, play against a friend, or play the mini games. You could also play Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow on the big screen! Now you have a new version to look forward to: Pokemon Stadium 2. It has four new cups with new trainers and you can upload your Pokemon from Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold, or Silver. For rent, you can get all the old and new Pokemon. You can also play Pokemon Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold, or Silver on the big screen! You can also organize your stuff and participate in the twelve new mini games. There is also Battle Now! from the first one and two player battles. You also face the Gym Leaders from Gold and Silver, then the Elite Four and Lance, then the Gold/Silver improved RBY Gym Leaders, then Ash. Also, Gary is one of the Kanto Gym Leaders. It is the funnest game ever and it is way better than the first Pokemon Stadium. I will buy one for my friend's birthday soon because he loves Pokemon too!
