About Pokémon Stadium
Pokémon Stadium brought the Kanto roster into full 3D for the first time, letting players battle with rental Pokémon or import their own teams from the Game Boy cartridges via the Transfer Pak. Beyond the tournament cups and the Gym Leader Castle, its wild collection of mini-games became a multiplayer staple. Pokémon Stadium 2 followed with Johto Pokémon and even more modes.
