Pokemon Stadium 2 (JP Version)

Second Pokemon Stadium game released in the Japanese market -- localized as Pokemon Stadium in the US. The original Pokemon Stadium (not available in the US) was released in August 1998 in Japan. It was a limited game that featured less than half of the 151 Game Boy creatures. It shipped with the 64GB Pak (Transfer Pak) packed in. Then Nintendo released this, better version of the game in April 1999, called Pokemon Stadium 2. The "2" in the title is a bit misleading, as it's actually just an expanded version of the original. PokeSta 2 features ALL 151 Pokemon, mini-games and more. In March 2000, Nintendo finally released Pokemon Stadium in the US. Although the game is just called Pokemon Stadium, it is actually an enhanced version of the Japanese Pokemon Stadium 2. Nintendo added a Gallery mode, Pikachu voices and changed around the tournaments in the Stadium Mode.
