Obviuosly, one of the best Pokémon Games in my opinion. If battling Pokémon is your favorite thing, than Pokémon Stadium is the game for you. It's all Pokémon battles and funky mini-games. Theres also an add on accesory that lets you use your Game Boy Pokémon on the N64! With beautiful graphics and sound, this will score for the year 2000. The Pokémon look spectacular in 3D. You can even have a 4 player tournament! The American Pokémon Stadium is actually the Japanese Stadium 2.

Here are some of the options included with Pokémon Stadium (various resources brought me this info. Thanx a ton!):

Computer: There are four boxes with 30 slots each on the Game Boy Pokemon cartridge, so you can save the details of 120 monsters. Since that's not even close to enough memory to store all your Pokemon, this option allows you to transfer the information onto the cartridge itself, transfer the Pokemon back and give them to a friend.

Picture Book: Allows the creation of an electronic "photo album" of your collection, categorizing the monsters according to the 151 different species. You can then view them in all their animated 3D polygon glory. This mode also includes maps that show your Pokemons current location and habitat.

Quick Look: For a quick review of your collection, this option lists the Pokemons name, type, number, techniques, and other stats. It also shows which items are stored in the computer so you can employ the "Use" tool to quickly select the Pokemon you want to put into combat.

Game Boy: This function enables you to play the Game Boy Pokemon via the N64 (using the Game Boy adapter) on your TV screen.

Collection: This is a database of all the Pokemon in their game. Players can check out the attributes and info of their Pokemon, as well as size up the opposition, and discover which attacks may have an advantage or be used against them in the upcoming battle (very cool).

Registration: Import your friends' Pokemon and fight them as many times as you want.

Tournament: Send your Pokemon into battle against computer-controlled Pokemon or your friends Pokemon.

Green Version

In the original Pokemon released in Japan, the game was released in Green and Red versions. The Red and Blue versions were released here in the U.S. & everywhere else after that. The Green version is different than the blue version, though. The Pokemon that can not be caught in the wild in the blue version, can be caught in the green version. The area layout is quite different, too!

Gold & Silver

Now, I have not been able to get any screen shots for the games, but I have SEEN them. And I must say, if its not 3D, then its this. There are hardly any viewable pixels. And the buildings actualy looks like Japanese buildings. The graphics are phenomenal. They look nothing like the old Blue and Red. The Silver and Gold Versions have many new features, including new Pokemon, that are not in the old games, such as Topegy, and HouHou. Though, I have seen them in the cartoons. It is said that it will have well over 200 Pokemon, with different genders, meaning nearly 400 Pokemon to catch. And with these different genders, they will be able to mate and have babies. This will sure be rated "M". These games will take alot more time to beat than the Blue or Red versions. Other features include a new updated Pokedex. This will be able to display the time. And it is probably going to be made for the Game Boy color. So now the colors will be right, and not guessed. Plus, for all the little ladies, or guys who wish they were girls, a new women trainer. I dont know who it is, but I think it should be Misty. But, with all of this good stuff, there has to be a back draw. You cant trade Pokemon from new versions of Pokemon to the older versions. The game wont understand them, and possibly crash! I have also heard rumours of it being released on the Dolphin, Nintendo next system. Maybe in 3D??? Maybe!
