The other day, Pokemon Stadium 2 hit the shelves and I debated about renting it, said what the heck and just bought it. After investing my money it, I came home, showed it to a few people in the dorm and shortly had three or four people in my room. We had back seat battlers calling out commands to the people with controllers and people wandering in to see what was going on. One of the nice things about the game is the ability for 4 controllers to be used. I was curious how they were going to do this and found out it's in the free battle arena. Each person chooses 6 Pokemon and then right before the battle begins you choose 3 each and then switch between trainers in battle, a bit like a tag team.
About half of the game is one player and the rest of it is in two -four player mode.
I'm still working my way through the gyms and, yes, they do get harder as you move along. I've been frustrated by some of the higher trainers more than once.
The "battle now" idea they have is very good. If you and a friend want to sit down and have a quick little go between the two of you this is a good way to go. It is right there on the main screen and you click on it and the system randomly picks 6 Pokemon for you to battle with, this can be done in one or two player mode.
The little mini-games are so cute. If you pay attention to your own screen, un-like I did the first time, you should do well. If you want to make sure you win there is an easy setting, if you want a challenge set the system to hard.
In event battle there are 4 cups, the Prime Cup, the Poke Cup, the Little Cup and the Challenge Cup. In the challenge cup instead of you using your Pokemon's the computer picks them for you and you can battle on the settings for the Prime, Poke and little cups.
To be honest, I have yet to get through everything. I'm currently working on finding a Gameboy Pokemon game so that I can access everything this game has to offer, (as in Pokemon Stadium you need a transfer pack, and sadly it's not included in the game) yet with out it I've had many hours of battle already. Those new Pokemon are toooo cute. My faves? Of the new guys, I've found good battle buddies in Jumpluff, Skarmory, and Girafarig. My tried and true battle companions from Pokemon Stadium are Rapidash, Pikachu and Snorlax. Now... who'll help you win all those battles?

This is a great game. In Pokémon Stadium 2, there are a lot of changes and a lot of updates. In GB Tower, you can play your Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold, Silver or Crystal. There are 12 new mini games, new Gym Leaders for Gym Leader Castle, and my personal favorite feature, Mystery Gift. On the Main Menu there is a button that says 'Mystery Gift'. What this does is lets you do Mystery Gift with a girl every day. This is good if you want to get new items to make your '3D Room' look cool in White City, get new items, dolls, beds, consoles and more. My cousin and I like to make fun of the girl there. For example, I did Mystery Gift with the girl, I got PSNCUREBERRY when she got an N64. Not fair right? Like I mentioned before, there is a feature that let's you see your room in 3D. Very detailed! You can see the stiches in the Charmander doll, you can see the console with all the details, see you posters and more! I highly recommend this game for people who like Pokémon!Best Deals for Pokemon Stadium 2
Once I get this outrageous title, I will use the old pokemon characters (i.e. Red, Blue, or Yellow) to play through the entire game. However, don't take this game on until you beat the original Pokemon Stadium in both Rounds 1 and 2. You thought it was enough. Think again! The battles are not over! You have 2 more rounds to face in this upcoming adventure. You get to pick from 4 tournaments:Little Cup=Level 5 or lower.
Nintendo Cup=Level 50-55.
Challenge Cup=Pika, Petit, Poke, and Prime Cups.
Ultra Cup=Pokemon up to Level 100.
You might think this is the same as the original, but don't worry! You'll get to meet new characters (i.e. Chikorita, Cyndaquil, Totodile, etc.). See ya!
Honest reviews on Pokemon Stadium 2
Pokemon Stadium 2 is a sequel to the first one. You can now use all of the Gold and Silver Pokemon in an even better game. There are new features to this game, such as:POKEMON ACADAMY: Learn rules of battle and strategies on three different levels. To pass each level, you have to listen to lectures, pass a test, and beat trainers set up to help you learn different strategies to use on your opponents.
NEW CUPS: You now have to master 4 all-new, challenging cups. The Little cup is for level 5 and under Pokemon, and strategy is critical. The Poke Cup returns, but has different trainers. With a level range of 50-55, it requires both strategy and power. The Prime Cup is unlimited, and requires a bit of strategy combined with brute strength. The hardest of all, Challenge Cup, makes you fight with a random team on the spot.
MINIGAMES: The new Stadium Minigames are always fun. Gusty Golbat makes you move a Golbat and collect hearts while avoiding Magnamites. In Topsy Turvy, you rapid Spin and knock your opponent out of the ring. When you get 5 Ko's, you win. In Clear Cut Challenge, you try to push A at a log's white line to make your Pinsir or Scyther cut it. In Furret's frolic, you pop up all over and try to push balls into your goal. In Barrier Ball, you play a 4-way Pong game. First one to score five goals wins. Pichu's Power Plant is a more challenging version of Thundering Dynamo. You hook on to one of four lamps and rapidly push either A or B until it goes out. The first one to get a full power meter wins. Rampage Rollout is a race with four Donphans. The people in 2nd third and forth get tornadoes to unleash that make whoever runs into them spin out.In Streaming Stampede, you count the number of Pokemon that run by and push A for each one. If you are within 2, you get points. Tumbling Togepi is like Run Rattata Run. Togepi must dodge logs and Digletts to get to the finish line first. Delibird's Delivery requires you to gather gifts and bring them back to score points. In Egg Emergency, you catch eggs with Chanseys while avoiding Voltorbs which delete from your egg count. In Eager Eevee, you push A when the barrel is raised to get the prize. If you are close to first you get some of it. Pincos make you sit out a turn.
GYM LEADER CASTLE: Like the first one, only with the Gold and Silver Gym Leaders
This is a pretty good game. It is one of the few good Pokemon products. It's a good N64 game pick for anyone interested.
