I don't get why people love Stadium. Only thing it had was the fact that it was the first 3D Pokemon game but other than that..

Really wish they had brought Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow over to Switch so it would have been tied to this.


Are the rental pokemon even enough to play the game in its entirety?

All I remember is playing the game with my Pokemon Blue party.

Definitely up for messing around with this for a bit. But even I hopeful trend guy miss the first couple months when they'd announce the next one a few hours after the last one came out XD

Curious to see if the Rentals have been updated to make up for the lack of upload ability. Doubt it, but it's the only way I can see Round 2 battles being possible to win.

Lapras is in my top 10 just because of a single match I had in my friend's dorm room 12 years ago. That gorgeous beast carried a team handicapped by two cocoons, confusing and singing the entirety of my buddy's team into submission.

Now just to wait for Red and Blue to come out with a special version of this with connectivity.

Not really worth playing anything but the minigames otherwise.

For me, I still find appeal in seeing the old and somewhat "weird" era where Pokémon was still finding itself represented in 3D. It has a different vibe than what's come since Gen 3 or 4.

Also I grew up with this and its sequel, so nostalgia is a drug, etc., etc.

Should the day come for connectivity with gb games, I'll take interest in great measure, until then happy for those who are happy.

Probably had the most challenging battles a player could take on at the time in the series so if you wanted tricky, arguably rigged against you matches to try and solve with either your own pokemon you've raised up or the rentals it had it's relevance. Losing the ability to use your own pokemon does make things a bit less fun to be honest.

It's that or you spent a lot of hours away as a kid in the Mini Game Corner.

If you want a challenge, generate a random team of rentals with the Random Pokemon Generator https://randompokemon.com/ or a Random Number Generator and pick the pokemon associated with the number and see how far you can go.

Do better than Keizaron dying to a 1hp Magikarp

I did one match of Gym Leader Castle and man, as expected this does not hit without Pokemon transferred in. I'll probably get some use out of the minigames but I'll just be hoping that one day they add compatibility of some sort to anything.

am i one of the few people who played with mostly rentals as a kid
No, I did that too. Definitely didn't have a team of level 100 Pokemon on hand to battle with.

I think I beat everything in Round 1 of Stadium except for the last two Cups in Poke Cup. I hit a wall there with rentals. Round 2 would probably eviscerate me lol

When people say they want Pokémon to be hard again, they mean pokemon stadium with rentals.

It's very funny seeing all the Transfer Pak references on the box art and in-game. The functionality's gotta be coming, but it's bizarre they launched without it. It'll be fun trying to get some of these rentals to work, the movesets are NONSENSE lmao.

Minigames are still GOAT though.

Rentals only? That's like releasing the game with only hard mode. Worth it for the hype title screen you get for beating everything.

I'll wait for the release of Red/Blue/Yellow + connection before touching this. Rentals only can be really hard in the late game.

I think this is the one game on the app so far that I can't see the appeal of at all. It's like a worse version of every other pokemon game where they just give you some canned pokemon and you fight them.

On the other hand, most Pokemon games get broken by "I know the type chart" which is not the case for this one so it was actually fun scraping together a team from rentals or randoms (even when we could use our own) for that reason.

I mean, at the time the appeal was entirely that it was a 3D Pokemon game and on a console. But nowadays, yeah, it's pretty much "pointless". Still pretty feel-good and nostalgic though.

Damn, if I actually paid the $80 I'd be kinda upset at the famine N64 is getting, two games in four months? Yikes, man.

Out of the cool N64 games.. Pokémon Stadium? I'd rather play Glover.
