Pokemon Stadium - Pokemon - http://maxpages.com/mewtwosrevenge/Pokemon

Pokémon Stadium is one of the three games that's set to be released for
N64. In this game, you are able to see two (or more) characters go
against each other. The game features 40 built-in creatures that you can
build up and send into battle.

The Japanese version of Pokémon Stadium is set to ship with an included
64 GB Pak. This device plugs into your controller's memory card slot,
similar to the Rumble Pak. If you happen to be the happy owner of one of
the Game Boy Pokémon games, plug that Game Boy cart into the 64 GB
Pak, switch on Pokémon Stadium, and swap data between the two games.
This way, you can bring the monsters you have discovered in the Game Boy
Pokémon into the N64 game and view them in their 3D color glory.
Pokémon Stadium lets you perform your multiplayer battles with a tad
more graphic flair than the Game Boy can muster.

Using the included 64 GB Pak (in Japan), you can plug your Pokémon Game
Boy cartridge into your controller, download your Pokémon into the N64,
and duke it out with your friends
with excellent 3D graphics. In addition to the battle features, Pokémon
Stadium lets you play your Pokémon Game Boy game in emulation on the
N64 and browse a Pokémon encyclopedia. Unfortunately, American
Pokémon carts will not work with Pokémon Stadium, making it an import
only for those playing the Japanese version of the game.
Here are some of the options included with Pokémon Stadium:
Computer (Pasokon): There are four boxes with 30 slots each on the Game
Boy Pokémon cartridge, so you can save the details of 120 monsters. Since
that's not nearly enough memory to store all your horde,
this option allows you to transfer the info onto the cartridge itself.
Transfer the monsters back and give them to your buddy.

Picture Book (Zukan): Allows the creation of an electronic "photo album"
of your collection, categorizing the monsters according to the 151
different species. You can then view them in all their animated 3D
polygon glory. The Zukan mode also includes maps that show the exact
locations and habitats of your monsters.

Quick Look (Ichiran): For a rapid review of your collection, this option
lists the monster name, type, number, techniques, and other stats. It also
shows which items are stored in the computer (on the cart), so you can
employ the "Use" tool to quickly select the monster you wish to put into
combat.

GB (Game Boy): This function enables you to play the Game Boy Pocket
Monsters game via the N64 (using the machine's controllers) on your TV
screen.

Collection (Temochi): This is a database of all the monsters. Players can
check out the attributes and info of their creatures, as well as size up
the opposition, and discover which attacks may have an advantage or be
used against them in the upcoming battle.

Registration (Touroku): Import your friends' monsters and fight them as
many times as you want.

Tournament (Stadium): Send your monsters into battle against
computer-controlled monsters or your friends' creatures.

Firing up Pocket Monsters Stadium
brings you to a menu screen sporting
eight options:

Computer (Pasokon): There are four boxes with 30 slots each on the
Game Boy Pokemon cartridge, so you can save the details of 120
monsters. Since that's not nearly enough memory to store all your horde,
this option allows you to transfer the info onto the cartridge itself.
Transfer the monsters back and give them to your buddy.

Picture Book (Zukan): Allows the creation of an electronic "photo
album" of your collection, categorizing the monsters according to the 151
different species. You can then view them in all their animated 3D
polygon glory. The Zukan mode also includes maps that show the exact
locations and habitats of your monsters.

Quick Look (Ichiran): For a rapid review of your collection, this option
lists the monster name, type, number, techniques, and other stats. It also
shows which items are stored in the computer (on the cart), so you can
employ the "Use" tool to quickly select the monster you wish to put into
combat.

GB (Game Boy): This function enables you to play the Game Boy
Pocket Monsters game via the N64 (using the machine's controllers) on
your TV screen.

Collection (Temochi): This is a database of all the monsters. Players can
check out the attributes of their brood, as well as size up the opposition,
and discover which attacks may be used against them in the upcoming
battle.

Registration (Touroku): Import your friends' monsters and fight them as
many times as you want.

Tournament (Stadium): Send your monsters into battle against
computer-controlled monsters or your friends' creatures.

When you prepare your monsters for combat, assign specific moves to
the C-Buttons and then trigger the attacks and defenses during battle.
The monsters then enter a ring and battle each other in smooth, polygonal
3D. As you can see, the general monster designs are traditionally
Japanese-cute style. However, once these guys show off their fire,
lightning or rock attacks, you gain new levels of appreciation (or fear)
for
your little monsters.

So, what's the big deal with Pokemon Stadium? Well, since the monsters
are still unknown outside of Japan, most Western gamers couldn't care
less about the cutesy creatures. But it's important to remember that the
Pokemon Game Boy series has become one of the best-selling
videogames franchises in the history of console gaming. Pokemon
merchandise flies off the shelves all across Japan at an alarming rate,
including dolls, pens, glasses, erasers, bags, T-shirts, toys, jewelry and
even full-fledges Pokemon costumes. Shudder.
And don't think you're safe sitting at home in one of the few
Pokemon-free countries left. They're coming. Nintendo is already
finalizing its launch plans for the US release of the first Game Boy
Pokemon game, and the N64 isn't too far off.

However, it remains to be seen whether the charming little guys will be
embraced in the West as they have in Japan. Judging from the craze the
Pokemons generated at E3 (and the fact that Pokemon stickers are
plastered all over the monitors of the IGN offices), it's safe to say that
you will hear more about Nintendo's cute crew of creatures very soon.
