i beat the entire game in 2, but am having trouble in round two. its tough, but the rival is easy to beat. i have a full operational n64, with several games, including stadium 1 and 2, and snap! but the stadium games are so detailed, its amazing how you can win using only rentals, unlike these newer spin offs. (although i used a ho-oh, unimportant!!) i also prefer there move animations over the newer games. the attacks actually seem to hit hard, and the newer games, the attacks just seem to be soft, idk how to explain it. i like the music and animation, and also the graphics, better than the new games. never liked the newer gens too much.
