Play Pokemon Stadium (Italy) Online

Game Overview

Pokémon Stadium on the N64 was the first time we got to see our favorite pocket monsters in full 3D, and man, did it feel like magic back then. You pick your team, step into the arena, and suddenly your little Game Boy sprites are throwing down in this gloriously chunky polygonal battleground.

The real fun comes from the mini-games—who knew dodging Ekans' tongue or racing Lickitung to eat burgers could be so weirdly competitive? And if you had the transfer pak, you could bring over your leveled-up team from Red/Blue/Yellow, which made all those hours grinding in Viridian Forest actually mean something.

It’s not perfect (the announcer’s voice still haunts my dreams), but there’s something special about how it turns turn-based battles into this tense, almost physical showdown. Just watch out for Mewtwo—that thing’s still broken.
