Pokemon Stadium 64 (N64)

I bought Pokemon Stadium not really knowing what to expect. For a start, the battles in the Gameboy version I had been playing for a few solid months had got a bit tedious to say the least and nothing really spectacular happened in them which was probably the reason why I wasn’t as hooked as I should had been. I think that’s why I decided to purchase Pokemon Stadium in the end. It promised to almost totally remake those battles I had been watching on the small screen for god knows how long and enhance them in terms of graphics and different gameplay modes, not only that but a whole host of added extras too. And I was pleasantly surprised… ...  Read the complete review

As a huge Pokemon Red and Blue fan, I could not wait to get my grubby little hands on Pokemon Stadium for the Nintendo 64. I was overjoyed at the thought of seeing my winning team of Pokemon from my Game Boy cart displayed in glorious 3D graphics and battling the way they should be (with lots of fancy effects and flashy colours). You might get a great feeling from seeing your own Pokemon kick a friends monsters to the floor on your Game Boy but it's not the same as seeing your favourite Pokemon drain the last of its opponents hit points with a big flashy move before rubbing your sweaty hands together as your opponents monsters limp body topples over on the ...  Read the complete review

Well I’m not a fan of Pokemon and to be quite honest this game speaks for itself. Any game with Pokemon in the title is destined to be rubbish. This game is probably one of the worst for the n64. What you literally do in the game is fight with other Pokemon but you can’t even control the character it’s in the style of an RPG game. The graphics are terrible, they said it required an expansion pack but I’m sure the greystation could have pulled off graphics like that. I tried to give it a chance but the game was so boring and annoying. I really hate the repetitive noises the Pokemon make. Well I guess it’s worth buying for the kids after all ...  Read the complete review

ahhh Pokémon the name mixes memory with desire. All of us truly young at heart love this program and when the release of Pokémon stadium came, we were truly happy. When the game is played however you will at first feel deceived because you may believe this was meant to be a role playing game as well as one where you can battle pokémon. Of course it isn't but you may play your lame game boy pokémon games on it and use the saved data pokémon to use in battle. After a while however you will find that the game itself is not so bad. It is actually addictive, battling pokémon against each other at different levels, learning which techniques are powerful against ...  Read the complete review

I love Pokemon, so don't count me out as one of those Pokemon haters.This as many other people have said,highly over-rated,and,as per usual,i was bought by the hype.That's not to say it's a bad game, but if you expect Pokemon on the gameboy in 3D you ain't getting it.This basically takes the battles from the gameboy game,makes the pokemon 3D and the moves look amazing but that's about it.There are some extra things in the package but nothing to write home about.Play Pokemon on your telly,you could do that with the super gameboy on the SNES.It's got some great mini games which i do like but they only last for a limited period.You get extra ...  Read the complete review
