Line 3:
* Generation I ([[Nintendo 64]])
** ''Pokémon Stadium'' ([[No Export for You|Japan]]): The first game in the series, which was only compatible with 42 out of the then-151 Pokémon. The sequel was out in Japan only a few months after ''Red'' and ''Blue'' were released in the US, and after their release in Europe, so this game was skipped in those regions in favor of the more complete sequel. Fans tend to refer to this as "Pocket Monsters Stadium" when needing to distinguish it from the commonly known US release.
** ''Pokémon Stadium'': Called ''Pokémon Stadium 2'' in Japan, it was fully compatible with the Game Boy games, including support for all the Pokémon. It included several tournament levels, a Gym Leader Castle to battle the Gym Leaders from ''Red'', ''Blue'', ''Green'' and ''Yellow'', the Kids Club to play minigames, a Pokémon Lab to manage the Pokémon and items on your games, including trading and transferring Pokémon between games and keeping them on the N64 cartridge, and the Game Boy Tower to play the Game Boy games on the TV through the Transfer Pak.
* Generation II ([[Nintendo 64]])
Line 24:
* [[Double Knockout]]: Averted! Destiny Bond fails in 1 on 1, while a trainer that uses a suicide move on their last Pokémon loses (even if they KO the foe's last Pokémon with it).
* [[Easter Egg]]:
** If you import your starting Pikachu from Yellow to the ''Stadium'' games, it has Ikue Otani's voice acting like in [[Pokémon (anime)|the Anime]] (and the ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' series), rather than using the standard cry.
** In the first two ''Stadium'' games, a Pokémon with a certain pattern in its nickname (reversed syllables, one syllable followed or preceded by another word, etc.) changed the creature's color. It's pretty fun trying to figure out what patterns will cause what changes.
* [[Flawless Victory]]: Completing a match without losing a Pokémon gives you a continue. Building them up the early matches is quite helpful.
Line 48:
=== The announcer has unique chatter for the following ===
* [[Broken Record]]: One-shot a opponent's Pokémon at the beginning of a match, and you might get these three lines in succession:
{{quote|"A mighty blow from the word 'Go'!"
"TAKEN DOWN ON THE WORD 'GO'!!"
Line 60:
* [[Irony]]: "Such irony ... Its ''own teammate'' was the only one to go down!"
** Earthquaking with a weak partner while both opponents are using Protect will do that.
* [[One Hit KO]]: "Taken down in one hit!" "It's a one-hit wonder!"
* [[That's Gotta Hurt]]: Usually preceded by an "Ooh!"
* [[You Can Barely Stand]]: "One looks raring to go, but the other appears weak!"
