I found my old n64 and started playin poke stadium 2. I CANT PUT IT DOWN!!!! It is so addictive. who remembers the good ole days?? what is your fondest memory of poke stadium 1 and 2?
-I/II gen are the only great gens; things get pretty ridiculous after that.
-gen I/II have the best Pokemon and stories, by far!
-All of these weird Poke's and typings in III/IV/V are unrealistic and don't look appealing!
-The best thing about modern generations are the moves! I like Aerial Ace and Water Pulse.

Gen I and II are SUPERIOR
BY FAR
They were the best spinoffs ever! I loved them and am hoping for a stadium 3. Nothing like Battle Revolution though, it was terrible! It needs to have all 649 pokemon rentable.

Pokemon Stadium 2 in particular was VERY VERY VERY hard. That Elite Four and Lance are impossible to beat.

I found a N64 at a Flea MArket about 4 months ago and bought it and stadium 1&2 for about $100 Bucks! I got a steal.

I do remember pulling my hair out with some of the toughest cups in Stadium 2... especially that (IIRC) Challenge Cup where you had to use rental Pokemon.

Still, fun times, fun times. If they create a 5th gen console game, its selection of battle modes needs to be as robust as it was in Stadium 1 & 2, and not like the watered down Battle Revolution.

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.

Stadium 2 is my favorite home console Pokémon game!

I remember the hardest part was the Challenge Cup in Round two, I was lucky enough to get a rental Kingdra, Typhlosion and Ampharos.

I miss the rule sets that didn't allow to get more than one Pokémon asleep or frozen.

I was disappointed when I first played Pokémon Colosseum, I was expecting a Gym Leader Castle. The RPG mode made up for it and the RSE music, but I still wanted to fight the Hoenn Gym Leaders and Elite Four in 3D graphics.

I agree with LeSabre, if they make a 5th gen console game, they better get rid of annoying gimmicks like in Battle Revolution and go back to the good old formula, and possibly remove rental cups of any sorts as well. But if they added that in BW2, chances are they won't.

How could I forget Stadium 2? I spent HOURS on that one - my sister and I loved the mini-games that one gave us - and there were so many awesome features and ways to battle. I don't know if I ever beat the Gym Challenge, but I was young, and really, it was awesome. I Mystery Gifted with the department store girl all the freaking time.

Those were the days!


And they totally need to make a new Stadium game. Just like the old ones and not like PBR. Sure, you can give us character customization - as long as it isn't sprite recolors. Or let us use in-game trainers.

i agree! they need to stick with what works. stadium had a really great battle formula. use your color games, and if you couldn't or didnt have enough pokes, use these rentals! every console game after stadium, 2 just got worse and worse. don't get me wrong, shadow pokes are great, but thats all that was really good in the newer stuff. have another stadium game, but make it to where you can earn the shadow pokes by doing certain tasks. somethin like that.

Pokemon Stadium 2 was my gen II, since I didn't play GSC in their hay day. Loved it, to say the least. Taught me how to battle correctly and it's where I first saw my beloved Umbreon. <3

Of course I do! I still play it sometimes on my N64! It's a fantastic game, as was Stadium 1. I wish the newer games for consoles such as Wii were like them.

I have recently started playing that game on my psp "N64" emulator and it looks very fun. I have had a few problems, for example I can only play with preset Lv 20 (ISH?) pokemon but I cant level any of them up because I cant upload any gamepaks. Regardless, this game is entertaining and seeing my fav pokemon in 3d is a bonus.

I distinctly remember Nidoqueen being disturbing. :|

I loved the heck out of the photo mode in Stadium 1, even if I never took my game to Blockbuster to print the pics out. The main campaign I remember being really hard, or hard enough anyway.

But if anything, I learned what Pokemon moves would look like in real time (even if they aren't all consistent in subsequent appearances). Thunder Wave still makes more sense to me as electric pulse waves to however it ended up looking in RSE and Pokemon Colloseum. Shadow Ball as well. That move looked so wicked cool in PS2, and it was demoted to black goo with sparkles in Colloseum. Weak.

I also learned that if you rename your Pokemon, you get... recolors. Guess it's official. :P But seriously, at least it added a unique touch to your Pokemon.

What I would have preferred, though, was a Pokemon equivalent to Mario Party, because clearly the best thing about either Stadium games was the Minigames. I don't think the Pokemon were ever shown with such personality in 3D since the fact (especially in PS1), though to be fair, I've never played the Hey You Pikachu esque games. It's even more strange considering some Pokemon showed less emotion in the exact same game during the battles. I still get a kick out of Voltorb's victory animation in the electric minigame.

Other Stuff That's Totally Uncool and Not Worth Your Time!
