Pokemon Stadium

Review by TehShowstoppa

"Worst Pokemon game ever...? Read on to find out..."

I remember back in 2000 when I was a real Poke' freak and I just bought my Nintendo 64 with Pokemon Stadium & Snap, Snap was okay but Stadium...Was and still IS the worst Pokemon game ever, I never gave a game less than a 5 in any game site, but this really deserves a 3, Read on to find out why this game is the worst Poke' game ever...

Graphics: 7/10.
Pokemon in 3D aren't really that great since the majority of people already saw 3D pokemon in Snap, All 150 pokemon look great, Slightly better than pokemon snap, I think it rivals stadium 2's graphics! Some are good like Meowth, Charizard & Dragonite. And some are WAY bad like Blastoise, Venonat & Koffing. All in all the graphics are ok, but not something to jump about. The arenas all look good and that might be the only Good Factor in this shameful game.

Controls: 10/10.
Heh...Easiest controls in an N64 game, period. When you battle/choose pokemon they actually tell you what to Press and when to press it. Way too easy, My 4-yr old brother can figure it out...Well, Maybe not but it's still easy.

Gameplay: 2/10.
By far the worst game I've ever played! Worse than Tetris or even Superman 64, atleast Tetris had replay value, this CRAPPY game only has gym leader castle where you'll battle another Poke' Freak to go on to the next Moron with 6 pokemon. The battles are repetitive and will bore you after 40 minutes playing the so called ''Game'', The pokemon just stand there and do any move you want them to do, No adventuring, Capturing Pokemon and all of that, You just battle with 150 pokemon, Each with the same moves over and over again...If this was the first 3D Pokemon RPG it would've gotten an Average score of 8, But it isn't, And 1 more things, How did this game get 2 sequels?! How did it go this far in the gaming world is a mystery to me...There are also some mini-games to BORE you, if you want Mini-Games you got MP 1, 2 & 3 which are WAY better games than any Stadium/Colloseum game will ever be.

Sound: 4/10.
OMG I heard better sound effects on the SNES! Seriously, the pokemon STILL don't have their original voices, the music is ok, Standard pokemon style music you'll find in most poke' games. Oh, and there's also a commentator to well...commentate on your battle. Is he good? AW HELL NAW. Don't get me started on him, all he says is ''FIREBLAAAST!'' or ''HYDROOOW PUMP'' The sound gets a really nasty four.

Replay Value: 1/10.
There's a replay value in the worst game ever??! Well, yeah there is...and it's called ''The Gym Leader Castle'' Which is you battling the gym leaders and they're Trainers one by one while listening to that God-Awful commentator. That's not replay value...That's HELL.

Difficulty: 8/10.
It's not too hard but the reason I gave it an 8 is cuz it's hard to have fun with this game. >: ^ (

Lifespan: 6/10.
Not that long of a game. though it will take a while Completing the Gym Leader castle, Elite four & getting all the Trophies in Stadium Mode. But why bother? Why bother playing this game?

Overall: 3/10.
You read on! Now you'll find out! Is it the worst Poke' game ever? Yes & No. It's the worst GAME ever! Now, The question is...To rent or to buy...? NEITHER. I am dissapointed by Pokemon, Gamefreaks and Nintendo as a company for making this game. And you might think ''This guy is just bashing this game'' But no, I am not bashing this game, I'm writing this review so you don't make the same mistake as I did and I hope this review was helpful to all of you. Peace.
