The game has excellent graphics. The attacks are always the same for all 151 different Pokémon so it can get a little boring, but there are 160 attacks to see. It has many secret bonuses and things to do. The trainers in this game are a lot more difficult than the ones in the gameboy versions. And the Gameboy Tower section saves a fortune on batteries. As a dedicated Pokémaniac, I have to say that this game is a major improvement over any of the other Pokémon games released in the U.S. so far. The only problem I can find is that it won't be compatible with Pokémon Gold/Silver when they are released here.

The Best toy/game in pokemon history

My 8 year old says: "My favorite part of this game is the mini-games that come with the Stadium part. I also like to take pictures of the Pokemon with the different backgrounds. It is like a Gameboy because you can battle gym leaders, as well as other Pokemon. You can choose from all the Pokemon and pick the ones you want, or you can let the computer decide. I would advise you to buy this game if you or your kids like Pokemon."

A mom adds: My kids also have the Gameboys, and they've been so busy with the battle portion and mini-games that we haven't even had a chance to download characters from their Gameboys yet! This is probably one of their top three favorite games, although it gets a little samey at times, and the battles can be a bit drawn-out (they need to lose the narrator). All in all, worth the purchase.

If you like Pokemon, you'll like this game. It has great graphics. You'll never have to worry about the battery running out, like in Game Boy. You won't have to worry about your opponent cheating. It has multiple settings, such as Stadium, Gym Leader Castle and Professer Oak's Lab. You can organize your items if you have a Game Boy. If you don't, you can always rent Pokemon. Overall this game is fun.

This game is Absoulutily fun

A great game with strange coincidences...

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 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).
