Play Pokemon Stadium Online

Pokemon Stadium was a Japan only release for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, developed by Nintendo. It arrived late in the console's life, a technical showcase that felt like a glimpse into the future of the series.

You don't control a trainer in the field, but instead manage your team of six Pokemon imported from the Game Boy titles. The main objective is to battle through a series of cups against increasingly difficult AI opponents. The signature mechanics are the full 3D polygonal battles, which brought familiar monsters and moves to life with new animations, and the ability to play the Game Boy RPGs on your television through the Satellaview add on. The pacing is brisk if you have a strong team ready, but the later cups demand careful strategy and type matching. It feels like finally seeing a story you loved get a proper big budget adaptation.
