Pocket Monsters Stadium

POCKET MONSTERS STADIUM

Next up, we have the first of the Stadium games, this one only released in Japan. The concept of the stadium games is simple, it basically lets you have full 3D Pokemon battles without all the standard Pokemon game around it. Which is a concept you'd think would have lasted to the modern day, considering how big the competitive Pokemon scene is, but then again, I've never been part of the competitive scene, so I have to assume they're satisfied with whatever medium they do use for battles.

This game technically only has forty playable Pokemon of the original one hundred and fifty-one, the rest at least having 3D models you can view through the game's Pokedex. The game also has a tournament mode with sixteen challengers who are apparently based on the contestants of the Nintendo Cups for 1997 and 1998. I'm . . . probably not going to include them in my trainer system list (unless I decide to include the trainer classes alongside the main characters, I'm still divided on that).

Anyway, that's what we've got so far:

Characters:

Red/Pokemon Trainer: Poke Ball, potion, bicycle, fishing rod, HMs

All Pokemon (Barring all one to two-movers)

Candidates for possible trainer system idea:

Red
