The graphics are great, the gameplay is great, and there is a challenge! However, the lack of any kind of experience system while playing in the tournament is kinda disappointing. The levels of the pokemon in the gym leader tower are ummm....unrealistic. VERY unrealistic. The advertisement states that you can face the gym leaders as you did in the Game Boy Game! Not quite. Lvl 10 to Lvl 50...uh-huh. Overall, however, it is a great game and a great buy!

great game

This is one of the few games I have found that lives up to all of its hype and publicity. It has amazing 3-D graphics and a wide variety of options, gameplay modes and pokemon. In addition, you can choose between two player battles, stadium tournaments and the trainers castle. For the battles you can choose from using rented pokemon or pokemon from your game boy using the transfer pak. Overall this game is a must buy for all you avid pokemon fans!

The Sounds! Yuck!

I love the game itself, I play it almost every day. It's varyentertaining, if your a true Pokémon lover. I love to upload my ownpowerful team (Mew, Mewtwo, Scyther, Dragonite, Gyarados, and Charizard) from the Game Boy cartradge and watch them battle. If you have played Pokemon Snap you may have noticed the realistic Pokémon sounds, like Bulbasaur saying "Bulbasaur" when you threw a Pester Ball at him. Now why can't they put the realistic Pokémon sounds in Pokémon Stadium? They make the same noises they do in the Game Boy game! Why did they do such a thing! It ruins the fun of the game. Before I bought this game, I imagined Pikachu saying "Pi-Ka-CHUUUU!" when he did his Thunder Shock attack. But nooooo, they had to keep the old sounds. Other than that, I would recommend this game to anyone who loves Pokémon.

Pokemon Fun!

If your smart and like Pokemon get this cool game. This game has the best of lifesize Pokemon 3D and GRAFICS. Someone must not be smart or just plain dumb to not like this awesome game with mini-games, a pokemon-cup challenge to test you and your pokemon's skills and ability. In this game there is also a pokemon league. You can also play the gameboy game on this with color.

Great Game

I'm not much of a Pokemon fan @ all, but I first played stadium at a friend's house and it is the best thing yet about the genre, so I bought it. I recommend this for any pokemaniacs or non-pokemaniacs. Great game.

This game is so fake. I can't believe that people could be so stupid to buy this sorry game. All you do is pick an attack and the pokemon will do it for you. You can't do it yourself. The grafics are also pretty bad because when you do an attack, you don't really hit them. I would rather stick my head in the trash dump for 15 minutes rather than turning that game on again. If I could give it away, I would gladly give it for free. In fact I'll even pay someone to take it.

not great

this game isn't great because all you can do is fight. you just push a button and hope your attak works. the grahics are great, but who cares. It's still boring. I would not recomend this game at all.

What is this! There is supposed to be a big Pokemon game coming out with the best of everything. This game is nothing like that. I played it for 3 days, got board, and waisted my sixty dollars. The game is boring begause all you gan do is Battle and play some stupid games.

A game to rent, but not to buy

Well, I can't say that Nintendo made false promises...the game gives you your Pokemon in all their 3D glory, with their cute little attacks in 64 bit graphic splendor.

What else, you ask? Well, that's the problem. There isn't anything else. This game is fun if you and your friend want to play Pokemon with better graphics. There is almost nothing else to do with this game: although it offers multiple other features, none of these merits any praise.

For example, the game comes with 9 "mini games" of sorts...which are all basically variations of each other in that they all require mindless button mashing. Some require TIMED button mashing...woo hoo. The only one that speaks to be something worth anyone's time is the Clefairy memory game, which requires you to remember sequences of arrows and repeat them within a time limit. These games get real old, real fast. But that's why its worth RENTING, not buying. Blockbuster will even give you the nifty little controller pack to upload your pokemon should you so desire.

"But it comes with other stuff too, you biased punk!" It does? Oh yeah, that silly single player thing where you can fight against a bunch of ridiculously easy trainers to...earn nothing. No exp, cool items, secret endings, or anything interesting like that. Why bother when you could be kicking the living crud out of the elite four again and again for experience?

The one redeeming thing about this game is the single player one-on-one vs computer mode. You choose 6 pokemon - all level 50 - and your opponent does the same. These pokemon all have attacks pre-assigned to them - and higher evolutions aren't necessarily better, because the lower evolutions have superior attacks (so that everyone isnt choosing charizard over cute lil ol charmander). In essence, the only way to win is pure strategy, because you can't go out and level your pokemon a bajillion levels and try to use brute force.

But then again, the primary audience of Pokemon is little kids. And since when do little kids use strategy in these games? Excuse me while I go knock on wood.

Again, to summarize, its a renter, not a buyer. It'll keep you entertained for a night or two, and is GREAT for pokemon trainer parties, but beyond that, the game is a waste of everyone's money.
