Pokémon Stadium was made by Nintendo and is the first Pokémon game to come out for the Nintendo 64 platform/system. This game has all 161 Pokémon from the first  generation.. In this game you compete in either the poke cup, great  cup, ultra cup, and the master cup, with any Pokémon you choose. You make the full 6 Pokémon team, but only three picks out of your team can enter battle with you, so pick your three wisely.
The games graphics can't really be compared to any other Pokémon game, To me the graphics in this game visual and colorization wise is of way better quality, then what was seen in the handheld Pokemon games . The Pokémon look very realistic and the details in there design are spot on color and form of the Pokémon wise. The Pokémon,and  the stadium of which you battle in, as well as there animated moves are all in 3-D, which only added to the games appeal, but the game does lag/ freeze a little during game play. 

The games sound isn't all that appealing, it offers nothing new. It has the soundtrack heard in the generation one  games( example: Pokémon Red l). The acoustics and sound quality heard in the game are fine. The Pokémon cries can easily be recognized and heard and in my opinion has a bit more distinction between them. In this game even the power moves have sound which only adds to that real life feel that you get when playing this game.
Well for a game with virtually no story or dialog this game is highly addictive. I found my self playing for hours upon hours just battling the cups, and frankly I really was just fine with the fact I didn't need to train any Pokémon or beat gym's like some of the other Pokémon games. This is truly a game for Pokémon fans that just want to battle, and since you can battle non stop it has countless hours of game play. I would reply this game in any free time I would have, but its just suck a long game, but in keeps you very interested and ecstatic to play!

Well (sigh) this game has basically no story or dialog in it really, basically you are a expert Pokémon trainer and are competing in a series of very challenging competitions that push you common knowledge of Pokémon and their types to your limit. You compete in various challenges which difficulty goes as followed Poke cup- easy, great cup-fair,ultra cup-medium/advanced, and master cup-expert/intense. So  there is no real dialog in it, as well as a protagonist or antagonist.
The game is huge, in terms of what you can do and as well as the diversity in the different battle cups. The game takes well over 24 hours to beat, because the game's A.I. Uses different battle techniques in each battle. The game offers players the chance to battle to see who is what many hope or wish to become a Pokémon master! I estimate the time to beat this game is well over 5-6 weeks. (on a side note if your not using a gaming PC controller, you can't do feature this game has to offer.)

This game is very difficult. The games A.I. Was clearly updated from anything I've ever seen or experienced from the Pokémon Franchise. What made this game so hard is the A.I.'s ability, when it comes to resourcefulness to plan and execute tactics that will easily crush your Pokémon team if your team is not well balanced and diverse when it comes to the Pokémon types. 
Overall because if your playing using a PC controller you can use all its features, and the game lag's a little bit during some battles. What all so made me rate the overall a little low is because the lack of story and dialog. I recommend this game to any one who wants to play a Pokémon game, where there skills at Pokémon are put to the test and for the Pokémon fans who just love to battle constantly none stop.

Divine Aurora : 161 Pokémon in the first generation, you say? This is a groundbreaking discovery!

Nice job on this! It was shorter than most of your others, but still had a lot of detail and was fun to read. Overall, great job and keep up the good work.

tgags123 : yeah this review is increably short for a review written by me but my reviews length is dependent on the depth of the game I am reviewing and well this is on of those games you don't play for the story aspect, what it lacks in story it makes up for in addictiveness and well pure fun. Anyways I can garntee none of my reviews will be this short ever again lol and to everyone, well thanks for taking the time to read and comment you guys its really appreciated! 

I also like that you pointed out how it plays on vizzed, because frankly, that is the only way I can play games now a days. All of my systems are miles away, thus I am left to Viz. I have played Pokémon stadium a few times, and I think you rated it a little better than I would have, but it is only a matter of opinion. I felt like the battles took to long. It is pretty much the same thing as any Pokémon battle, it just simply takes longer and you get to see the actual attacks. Just felt like I was spending more time playing the same thing. My opinion. 

Anyways, thanks for the review.
