Pokémon Stadium 2

In the original, players were limited to the 40 pokémon preset in the game, but now in the sequel, all 151 pokémon are available for battle. There will also be mini games/training games to help improve your pokémon.

As stated earlier, Pokémon Stadium 2 will have many new modes of play. Here are some of them:

Tonikaku Battle: This is a "tutorial" mode. It allows new players to learn the basics of the game so they can later on train and fight their own Pokémon.

Event Battle: This is also known as the "Pokémon league" mode, where you must fight the click. Here you can control the "battle time limit" and the "move selection time limit." In other words, you can make a battle last 2 minutes, or 90 minutes. You can also make the time for selecting a move anywhere from 10-90 seconds. (If both Pokémon are alive at the end of the fight, the one with the most HP wins)

Exchange Machine: This is where you trade data with your Game Boy. It seems to be the same as in the prequel. You just plug your Game Boy Pokémon cartridge into the 64GB and transfer the data, then you can view your monsters in 3D and fight them.

Winner's Castle: This is a tournament mode which lets you battle for six prizes. Its a six on six battle against your opponent at different difficulty settings.

Chibbikko Club: This mode containes nine types of mini-games (sort of like Mario's Party). Here up to four players can play, but if you have less, the CPU fills in the rest.

Free Battle: This is a tag team mode for up to four players. Each player gets to choose three pokémon, and their partners three, for a total of six. It's basically a 2 vs. 2 battle.

GB Building: This is just like an emulator. It lets you play your Game Boy Pokémon cartridge on your TV through your Nintendo 64.

Well, Pokémon Stadium seems very promising. Its release date hasn't been announced, but lets hope it finds its way to the North American shores....
