 Pokémon Stadium gives pokémon trainers the
chance to let their pokémon duke it out in 3D cinematic
battles. By using the included Game Boy Transfer Pak,
players can use the pokémon from the red, blue or yellow
versions of Pokémon. All 151 pokémon will be available
in this game, unlike the original Japan-only Pokémon
Stadium. In addition to the battle and mini-game modes,
Players who don’t have their own pokémon can use
rental pokémon, so owning the Game Boy game is not
required to play Pokémon Stadium.
There are several modes of battle.
Battles may have time limits on the length of the battle
and on how long players are given to enter moves. There is
also a tournament mode, where players battle for control
of six trophies. The most interesting battle mode is
probably the Free Battle, in which up to four players
compete in a tag team match where player gets to pick
three pokémon for a six-pokémon team.
Pokémon Stadium will also feature
nine mini-games, much like those from Mario Party and a
Pokémon album containing information on your pokémon
along with their 3D models. Pokémon Stadium has a built
in Game Boy emulator that will allow you to play any of
the three Game Boy pokémon games, though not any other
Game Boy games.
The point of Pokémon Stadium is really
watching your pokémon fight in the splendor of 3D.
Because of this, the developers have spent a lot of time
perfecting the engine. The action moves at a fluid 60
frames per second, with amazing effects and detailed
models. Pokémon Stadium guarantees fun for anyone who is
remotely interested in pokémon. Pokémon Stadium is set
to be released on March 6, 2000 in the US.
