Pokemon Stadium is a game that was released in Japan on 1999, and everywhere else around 2000. It's a spin-off game that doesn't really have a storyline but rather, you progress by winning these 'Cup battles' in the Stadium, as well as the Gym Leader Castle.

At any rate, again, there are these pokemon tournaments that take place in the stadium in which they're divided into 4 cups, where each round consists of eight three-on-three battles, and the difficulty of these cups are named after Poké Balls (Poké Ball, Great Ball, Ultra Ball, Master Ball), in which these are:
Pika Cup: Where Pokemon are around Lv 15~20, and we're allowed to bring pokemon that could evolve around that time.
Petit Cup: This is where basic pokemon do battle; that range around levels 25~30. They've only allowed pokemon that are 6'8" of height and less than 44 pounds!
Poké Cup: Where Pokemon battle that are Lv 50~55. Also the standard cup for all.
Prime Cup: Basically an 'Anything goes' cup where you're allowed to bring pokemon up to Lv 100!
The Gym Leader Castle is basically a place where you'd face the 8 Gym Leaders of Kanto, and eventually move on up to the Elite Four, and your RIVAL at the end.
If you beat all the opponents including your Rival, your pokemon will be entered in the hall of fame, and you can receive a pokemon to send back to your pokemon Blue, Red, and Yellow games! And the prize Pokemon can either be: Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan, Eevee, Kabuto, or Omanyte. If you beat the Pokemon Cups and the Gym Leader Castle, theeeeen you get to face off against Mewtwo. Mewtwo's pretty much the 'final battle' in Pokemon Stadium, where if you beat him, you can play the R-2 version of Pokemon Stadium, where the battles are tougher and the pokemon are meaner. owo

Pokemon Stadium 2 is the sequel to Stadium 1, where it also represents the pokemon from Johto! Like before, you progress through the game by winning Cups, and completing the new Gym Leader Castle, except this time if you beat both, you face off against your Rival.

The Pokemon Stadium Cups are pretty much the same except for the new Challenge Cup, where it doesn't allow you to utilise the Pokémon from your games, or rental Pokémon but instead gives you a selection of six randomised Pokémon while the opponents also get a random selection of the Pokémon.
Now, the Gym Leader's Castle is like before, where you'd have to face the gym leaders of Johto, where if you beat them, you can face the Elite Four, and Champion! Except this time, when you beat them, you can then battle the Kanto Gym Leaders, with pokemon trainer Red at the end.

Annnd then there's your RIVAL at the end. He has a Ho-oh, a Lugia, and a Mewtwo, so, you'll have to prepare for a preeetty tough fight, haha. But if you beat him, your pokemon will be entered at the hall of fame, and you can access Round-2! Oh, and on both these stadium games, there are mini-games too, just as a past time for you to take a break from the battling. :3
Anyway! This thread is a discussion thread about these two spin off games: Have you played the Pokemon Stadium 1 & 2 games? What were your experiences with them? Which Cup did you like battling the most? What kinds of pokemon did you use? How hard was these games for you? Any other thoughts, you can say so here too!
