Pokemon Stadium will let trainers get down to business and
compete in heated battles with trained Pokemon. All 150 Pokemon
will be in the game, in full 3D with awesome special attacks and
animation sequences. Up to four players will be able to compete in
a Pokemon tournament. 
The gameplay in Pokemon Stadium is massively expanded over the
Game Boy titles, as are the rich 3D graphics. Battle scenes look
particularly amazing, but special credit should go to the Pokemon
design. These guys look incredible. The expanded gameplay
includes several new modes, including Battle Now, Free Battle and
VS Event Battle mod. The latter is possibly the most fun of all,
introducing a real time 3D multiplayer game to the series. 

One of the most intriguing aspects of Pokemon Stadium is that
you'll be able to battle with your most loyal Pokemon straight from
your Game Boy cartridge. Thanks to a special adaptor that plugs
into your controller, Pokemon data can be transferred straight from
your Red or Blue Game Boy game to your Nintendo 64. You'll be
able to watch your favorite Pokemon go toe to tail in a 3D
competition. 
Screenshots
American version of Pokemon Stadium is actually based on the
second Japanese edition of Pokemon Stadium, which is
currently in the development stages in Japan. Pokemon Trainers will be
able to conduct turn-based battles similar to the Game Boy versions of
Pokemon, but outrageous animation sequences and flashy special attack
effects will make your Pokemon come to life like never before. 

One of the most exciting aspects of Pokemon Stadium is that you'll be
able to battle using your most loyal Pokemon from the Red and Blue
versions of Pokemon. Thanks to a special adaptor that plugs into the
bottom of your controller, data can be transferred straight from a Game
Boy cartridge into your N64. The TMs, attacks and levels of your
trained Pokemon will be available on Pokemon Stadium, so you won't
have to leave any of your favorites behind. 

On top of the visual treat of watching your Pokemon duke it out on the big
screen, Pokemon Stadium will also contain a variety of mini-games starring
all types of Pokemon. It's currently unclear exactly how these miniature
challenges will relate to the organized Pokemon battles, but any time you
get four Clefairies together you're bound to have fun. 

Even though we have trouble reading the Japanese, these early screen shots
demonstrate the game's unique fighting stadiums. Each of the 151 Pokemon
can be found in Pokemon Stadium, even if you decide not to transfer data
from your Game Boy Color Pokemon games. Pokemon Stadium will allow up
to four players to compete in a grueling Pokemon tournament, designed to
reveal which of your friends is the best Pokemon Trainer.

Alternate Pokemon Colors
Did you ever notice how some of the Pokémon that appear in Pokémon Stadium have different colors? The 
secret to the color variations lie in the names you give your Pokémon as well as your trainer ID number 
(assiged to you in Pokemon Blue, Red or Yellow, whenever you start a new game). While there are a few 
secret names that change only certain Pokemon's colors, there are a few naming tricks that result in different 
color variations. For example: 
 

Use only lower caps (ie: poliwhirl) 
Reverse the syllables (ie: DRILLBEE) 
Abridge the names (ie: Pika) 
For a more detailed listing of color differences, keep an eye out for IGNGuide's Pokemon Stadium Guide.

Battle Mewtwo
To unlock a hidden 6-on-1 battle with Mewtwo, beat the Gym Leader Castle and get trophies in all 10 tournaments 
in the Stadium Mode. The map screen will now turn to a night scene and a bonus tournament will open up in which 
you battle against the psychic super-Pokemon, Mewtwo (#150). Once you beat Mewtwo, you unlock a new game 
mode.

Bonus Stickers
Once you have beaten both the R-1 mode (including Mewtwo) and the R-2 Mode (including Mewtwo), you are given 
a set of bonus stickers that you can access in the Gallery Mode. When you're on the Gallery main screen, press 
and hold L and R and move the Cursor to Print. If you keep the buttons pressed, the Print option will now change to 
Bonus. You will now have access to a set of 16 bonus "wallpaper" stickers from all the different modes that you can 
print out at "Snap" Stations.

GB Speed Upgrades
There are two secret speed upgrades to the GB Tower Game Boy emulator that let you play Pokemon Red, Blue 
and Yellow at much higher speeds: 
 

Doduo Mode: Beat the Poké Cup. Once you have won all the Poké Cup tournaments, the GB Tower changes into 
Doduo GB Tower and a Doduo sticker appears on the Game Boy. The Doduo upgrade doubles the speed of the 
game play when playing the Game Boy game on your N64. 
Dodrio Mode: Play the Game Boy games at hyper speed with this alternate speed settings. To get it, you need 
to beat the Prime Cup (after you have already beaten the Poké Cup). 
You can switch between the different GB Tower speed settings during gameplay by pressing C Right. 

Get Amnesia Psyduck
Have you ever wondered how you can get the elusive Amnesia technique? Well, it's hidden deep in Pokemon 
Stadium. Unlocking it will take a while, but it's definitely worth it. You have to register ALL 151 Pokemon in the 
Hall of Fame. Whenever you beat a tournament (or Gym Leader Castle), your six Pokemon are entered into the 
Hall of Fame. It doesn't matter whether you use rental Pokemon or your own, but you can't have any gaps. Once 
you've filled it all up, you are awarded a free Psyduck bonus Pokemon that knows the Amnesia technique.

Get Surfing Pikachu
Yes, it's true: Surfing Pikachu is hidden in Pokémon Stadium. To teach your Pikachu Surf (a technique it can 
normally not learn), you need to first unlock the R-2 (Round 2) mode. Then do the following: 
 

Enter the R-2 Prime Cup's Master Ball division (you have to beat the first three divisions first). 
Assemble a team that contains a Pikachu that does not yet know Surf. You HAVE to use a Pikachu from your 
Game Boy game. You cannot unlock Surfing Pikachu using a Rental Pokémon. 
Do not register your team! Pick it directly from your Game Boy cartridge. 
You now have to beat the Prime Cup's Master Ball division using a three-Pokémon team that always contains 
Pikachu. Pikachu has to be in every one of the eight battles. 
You are not allowed to use any continues. If you do, you won't get Surfing Pikachu. 
Once you have fulfilled all the above conditions and beaten the cup, you are shown an award screen with Pikachu 
standing on a surfboard. From here on, Pikachu can use the Surf technique both in battle and during gameplay 
(Game Boy versions only). If you've got Pokémon Yellow, you can now also access the hidden Surfing Pikachu 
mini-game. Simply go to the small hut on the northern beach of Route 19.

Kids Club: Hyper CPU Difficulty 
To unlock this hidden difficulty setting, select a single-player game against three CPU-controlled opponents. 
You need to win the "Who's the Best?" challenge five times in a row on HARD difficulty. This will open up the 
new HYPER difficulty setting for the CPU players.

New Title Screen
Beat both the Gym Leader Castle and Stadium modes to change the title screen (in addition to the map mode). 
The new title shows depict Pikachu, Blastoise, Charizard, Venusaur and Mewtwo.

Open Up R-2 Mode
To get the secret R-2 Mode (as well as a brand-new title screen) defeat Mewtwo after you have beaten the 
Stadium Mode and Gym Leader Castle Mode. You will now see the final credits sequence, which will unlock 
the harder R-2 Mode and all new battles. You can toggle between R-2 and Regular Mode at the start-up screen 
by pressing C-Right.

Rent Mew
Many of you have asked how you can get all 151 trophies in the Hall of Fame if you don't own the elusive bonus 
Pokemon Mew. No problem: Once you open up R-2 Mode, you can rent and use Mew in the Prime Cup (sorry -- 
you still can't get Mew in Gym Leader Castle and Free Battle).

Talking Pikachu
For a talking Pikachu, you need to upload one from Pokemon Yellow. Rental, Red, and Blue versions will just 
be silent.

Win Bonus Pokémon
Each time you beat the Gym Leader Castle (including the Final Four and your Rival), you will receive one of 
eight semi-rare to rare Pokémon. These Pokémon are awarded at random, so it's likely that you'll need to beat 
the Gym Leader Castle again and again to get the ones you want. Note that once you have beaten the Castle, 
you only need to defeat the Final Four and your Rival again if you want to win more Pokémon.

Here are the Pokémon you can win: 

#001 Bulbasaur
#004 Charmander
#007 Squirtle
#106 Hitmonlee
#107 Hitmonchan
#133 Eevee
#138 Omanyte
#140 Kabuto
