I haven't played the second one, although I'd like to try it someday

I don't know what the story is here. Is there even one? You're apparently battling Pokemon in the Pokemon Stadium.


This game centers largely around the Pokemon battling. You can enter different tournaments, which will allow for different types of Pokemon. They also have a mini-game section and some other stuff. There are a wide variety of mini-games involving different goals.


This was actually my very first Pokemon game. I really enjoyed it. I liked having to choose different teams for different tournaments and pretending I was the awesomest Pokemon trainer ever. But the real joy came from the mini-games. I could waste HOURS on those things. The Rattata run and the Lickitung ones were my favourite, but I enjoyed all of them. Some were hard on the hands though and the game has given me a fair amount of finger blisters. Still, not the best Pokemon game I've played by far, but so much fun and lots of good memories.
