    The graphics are excellent. But, the announcer gets a little annoying after awhile. Its still okay. Its an easy game to play. Pokemon Stadium 2 is better than the first one.

    I thought that this game was more complex than the original. The added pokemon and types make it a lot harder to pick the perfect pokemon for battles, but that's what makes it interesting. I thought that the Academy helped out a lot. Also, I heard that playing the mini-games with your own pokemon will make them like you more. This helps out a lot if you're trying to get Eevee to I thought that this game was more complex than the original.

    It's awseome. I've played it for half an hour over at my friends but I am having it for Christmas. Cant wait. I thick it's really good. Pokemon Crystal is good as well but not as good as Pokemon Stadium 2 so it deserves 10.

    Super fun game. A good and easy way to play against your friends. Sure it only got old pokemon now but there is still enough pokemon.

    Best Pokemon game and 20 years later after billions of dollars in profit they somehow still haven't managed to beat this game (nor the first Stadium game!).

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pokemon Stadium 2 does for Gen 2 what Pokemon Stadium did for Gen 1, and then adds a few more things.

    You still have mini-games where they made them even better, and the cups and gym leader castle to battle with terrible rental Pokemon. Bring your own Pokemon via the transfer pack again to stand a better chance, but you are stuck with Rental Pokemon that you cannot choose in the Challenge Cup.

    However due to the addition of new Pokemon in Gen 2, the final battle after clearing the cups and castle is no longer your whole team against Mewtwo, but with your Rival armed with by far the 3 most Powerful Pokemon of Gen 2 in Mewtwo, Lugia, and Ho-oh. Beat the Rival to unlock Round 2 that ends with confronting him again as the final battle in the game.

    The other big addition is the Pokemon Academy where you can learn the tricks and skills of the Pokemon battling trade. Overall a game that once again has something for everyone.    … Expand

    The game is really good but if you could ad things like a questto unlock things in the game then i'd have to give it a 10.

    It is fun but it is too easy to beat. It needs to be more challenging.

    The extensive Pokedex and library reference guide are almost worth the price of admission alone. Add to that, the capability of the Transfer Pak to access Pokemon from the Game Boy versions and things really begin looking up.

    The best new feature is the school... There's no more need for those huge strategy books--this mode covers everything and reinforces it in a way no book could.

    The Pokemon Academy section of the game was brilliant, and the mini-games are a lot more fun. What it boils down to is this: Did you play through Gold or Silver? Did you enjoy battling? If so, you will love this game. If you did not, pass.
