Pokemon Stadium and its subsequent titles are incredibly underrated when compared to the rest of the Pokemon titles. Pokemon Stadium 2 is the sequel to the classic Pokemon Stadium that also released for the Nintendo 64. Funnily enough, the previous title was called Pokemon Stadium 2 in Japan since they got a Japan-only Pokemon Stadium titled Pocket Monsters’ Stadium. When the West received Pokemon Stadium 2, the title of this article, the Japanese equivalent was Pokemon Stadium Gold & Silver. Complicated for sure but that’s Nintendo for you.

Pokemon Stadium 2 Premise
Pokemon Stadium 2 is pretty much more of its predecessor. It doesn’t have a storyline where instead progress is made by winning trophies in its Stadium mode. Stadium mode works like a tournament mode. Players also can complete Gym Leader Castle, where the player faces gyms specializing in different Pokemon types. The game at its core is a battling simulator and fans of team building and battling will have an absolute blast with Pokemon Stadium and its other titles.
