It came out in the early 1990's and only had 13 episodes. I prefered the cartoon to Pokemon but I still like Pokémon!
Pokémon Stadium is best when you are battling your friends using your hard trained Pokémon! I beat my friends all the time with my squad of 5 Pokémon!
If you've seen the TV series, the first episode continues from Pokémon Red! That's why only the first 151 are on it!
You will however be able to trade your Red, Blue and Yellow Pokémon onto Silver and Gold using the time machine but if your Pokémon learn new moves that aren't on R/B/Y then you wont be able to get them back! Also you wont be able to trade any G/S only Pokémon onto R/B/Y!
I know that sounds really cheesy but I believe that Pokemon Stadium is a great game. It's very different to the Game Boy games but different doesn't mean bad. You just need to change tactics. Make sure you choose faster Pokemon than your opponent so you get to go first and use really strong moves right from the start. And I've heard that if you tap A repeatedly while your opponent is attacking then there's a chance he'll miss.
And that commentator thing....GOD THAT IS SOOOO ANNOYING!! Go to the options and press 'Commentator off' That'll shut him up.
I know all of you Pokemon haters will say I have been sucked in to the great washing machine of the Media but I don't see it that way. I will never buy any merchandise like cards or cuddly toys because chances are this isn't going to last very long but I watch the show and I think it's OK. I mean, if these little strange animals have brought happiness to millions of people then it can't be so bad.
