Information[edit]
In Pokémon Stadium, the focus was on battling with Pokémon instead of collecting or trading them. Trainers could use either Rental Pokémon or their own Pokémon uploaded from one of the Gameboy games to compete in one of the game's many cups. However, only 40 of the 151 Pokémon in the first generation were playable in the first game.
Connectivity[edit]
The Nintendo 64-Gameboy Transfer Pak could be used to upload Pokémon from one of the Gameboy games to the Nintendo 64, and it was also possible to play the games from the NIntendo 64. However, the original Pokémon Stadium was only compatible with Pokémon: Red, Green and Blue Versions. It could not connect with Pokémon: Yellow Version or any later games.
Legacy[edit]
Pokémon Stadium inspired a series of games in which Pokémon could be used in 3-D battles, although the series underwent some changes when it moved to the Nintendo Gamecube with Pokémon Colosseum.
Sequels[edit]
It was followed by Pokémon Stadium (Pokémon Stadium 2 in Japan), which was also released in America. This game acted mostly as a large expansion of the original Stadium, as all 151 Pokémon were available for battle. The game featured various new features and compatibility with Pokémon Yellow.
