Pokémon Stadium Retrospective

[@sheismymom]

I grew up playing Pokemon Stadium 1&2 it was so cool to see the Pokemon in 3d I loved the mini games and gym leader castle and free battles with my brothers and our friends.

[@garchompelago]

The devs of this game were trolling players into oblivion when they gave fully evolved Pokemon shitty ahh movesets while giving decent movesets to unevolved Pokemon.

[@Settlexv]

Feel the fury of my Poliwrath's Bubble.

[@mokarokas-1727]

Nah, that was an attempt at balancing so using all kinds of Pokémon would be somewhat viable. It wasn't enough, but the intent is clear and not for trolling.

[@KenRising1996]

Transfer packs ftw

[@DaGrayson039]

It was a scam to get you to buy the gameboy games to use your own pokemon. 😂

[@el_dank_sinatra]

@@DaGrayson039that’s Pokémon in a nutshell 😄👍

[@isaacmarcos-lc6pu]

Hey hey hey! 17 hours ago?! Alright! I got my Pokémon stadium 1 and 2 from eBay this weekend! Haven’t finished playing silver yet but glad to see I can still find fresh videos on these games!

[@RealEisenBerg]

I'm planning to make a sequel to this retrospective. I wonder if by then you'll have already beaten round 2 on any of the Stadium games. Greetings!

[@isaacmarcos-lc6pu]

I would greatly appreciate all your opinions and retrospectives and any new content you have pertaining to Pokémon gen 1- gen 3 game boy games and Nintendo 64. I am taking insanely slow brother. I just traded my shiny gyradose to my red for a shiny ditto to egg breed shinnies but I’m also experimenting and slow grinding my mons because I caught pokerus and I’m doing all that crazy jazz like depositing Pokémon into box before midnight everyday. Still have not touched my stadium one or two and I gotta be honest…. In red I got up to the elite four avoiding as many battles as I could and I did not beat even try to to beat them because I have such a under leveled team in red 😂😂😂 your the man though! ✌️

[@dannysha6458]

Stadium 1 & 2 are still in my top 5 pokemon games. I can still remember getting them for my birthday and playing the mini games with my brothers and cousins. Such a shame we never got another stadium game, gen 3 wouldve been great in a pokemon stadium game.

[@el_dank_sinatra]

Battle revolution is sort of a follow up, and I almost prefer to it over Stadium 1 and 2, despite loving those games. The music slaps, they have the anime announcer, the physical-special split, all the new evolutions of older Pokémon and 2 more generations of Pokémon compared to PS2.

[@dannysha6458]

@@el_dank_sinatra yeah I can appreciate battle revolution for actually being better in terms of battling, I just wish they had all the other content that made the stadium games so fun.

[@jacobhate]

@@dannysha6458I’ve never played battle revolution, mainly just stadium on its native hardware and a bit of stadium 2 on the switch virtual console. What’s the difference?

[@el_dank_sinatra]

@@jacobhate it’s on the Wii, and it has all Pokémon until Gen 4 (Diamond Pearl and Platinum). It’s essentially just the gen 4 version of stadium. It also has the anime narrator as the announcer instead of the stadium announcer. I personally think it’s a great game but in terms of battling it’s quite different from the stadium games. The animations and graphics look great tho, even to this day in my opinion.

[@MrKrewie]

Those mini games were created with passion, looking at you lickitung

[@Lcs546]

I beat stadium 1 with rental pokemon with only one strategy, thunder wave and Luck. When someone asks me how I got so stressed I say that I played Pokemon Stadium only with rented Pokemon.

[@robertgosney5657]

May God have mercy on your tortured soul 😆

[@RealEisenBerg]

I'm curious if nowadays I would be able to beat the challenge with the knowledge of the broken mechanics, but I have the feeling it will not be easy at all. Greetings!

[@DomenicVermillion]

Pretty good strat tbh haha. Only way i got the surfing pikachu.

[@Makocat]

Thanks to Factor 5, of Star Wars Rogue Squadron fame, were they able to compress all of the Pokémon and narrator audio into the cartridge without the need of the N64DD. It's my favorite trivia about my 2 favorite n64 games.

[@RealEisenBerg]

That's a very interesting fact. Thanks a lot!

[@chrisrichfield8906]

They really knew how to push the Nintendo hardware.

[@MishKoz]

This was one of my favorite videos of yours. I'd definitely be interested in seeing other retrospectives in the same vein as this one!

[@LITTLE1994]

I still own the two games, and actually beaten R-2 of both, but the difficulty is INSANE compared to other Pokemon games...

[@tiorange1235]

Just flat out cheating on the computer's part lol

[@RealEisenBerg]

That is something I still have to achieve. Greetings!

[@PhilipMurphy8]

Pokémon Stadium Zero wasn't really out everywhere, so they decided to add mini games, Pokémon Bank of its time and All Pokémon to Pokémon Stadium 1 to make it sellable.

[@ItsMePrivHo]

Love your videos, keep it up!

[@RealEisenBerg]

Thanks a lot! Greetings!

[@33rdPresident]

This was awesome, brother. Thanks for putting this together and you've earned a new subscriber.

[@RetroRich91]

Let's see some rareware stuff brah! Love the videos!

[@RealEisenBerg]

I'm planning on making a Perfect Dark Iceberg on The EisenBerg Experience channel, so please take a look there, and also on this channel I have a GoldenEye iceberg I'm sure you'll enjoy. Greetings!

[@cemiller]

I so many memories playing stadium with my older sister when i was kid when she and her boyfriend stayed with me and mom while they looked for a place to live. She knew more about pokemon the i did at the time so she'd coach me through the battles to try and help me win. But most of our time was spent in the kids club where honestly we got the most competitive. When she and her boyfriend found a place to live she gave me her copy of pokemon red so that could try and beat the cups with stronger teams. I still have both carts to this day.

[@joeocallaghan2905]

23:30 the seagulls on my sleeping ocean sounds waking me up

[@kellyshea92]

New video, it brought back old memories. I remember really liking the minigames. And now that I think about it I remember having a hard time withs battles because I was only able to use the rented pokemon.

[@RealEisenBerg]

Absolutely, and Round 2 is a nightmare, but I think Pokémon Stadium 2 is even harder, and I was never able to beat Round 2.

[@Oblivion420]

Bruh that fisher was the bane of my playthroughs as a kid.

[@Picar70]

If you thought the Fisherman-trainer was hard in round 1, in round 2 he is (with rentals) practically impossible to defeat. Werster (A Pokemon-speedrunner) have the WR for a completion of the full-game for both Pokemon Stadium 1 and 2, and he usually releases a FAQ for his speedruns. In the FAQ he mentions that even if he is ahead by 2 hours towards his world-record he is still not confident enough to gain time, as the fights are THAT hard. He has said in his FAQ that in speed-running difficulties he would say that Stadium 2 starts at a 3 and then climbs to a 7 in difficulty while he believes Stadium 1 starts at 1 but by Pika-cup its at 15. He has said that for being able to win, the Fisherman in round 2 needs to have a SPECIFIC team which I believe consists of Kangashkan, Dragonair and Machamp and even then its like a 6% chance of him winning.

[@RealEisenBerg]

That's impressive, especially coming from a speedrunner like Werster. No wonder why casual players complain so much about those specific battles. As he said and shown on the video, winning that battle is almost pure luck. Thank you for that info! Greetings!

[@markiii3499]

YES GREAT MORNING

[@RealEisenBerg]

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Greetings!

[@mariotaz]

The Psyduck is also holding a special box. If you transfer that to crystal and open it, it contains a gold trophy for your room.

I really like your gen 1-2 icebergs the pokemon creepy places iceberg and the gen 1 anime iceberg

[@RealEisenBerg]

I'm a big fan of the first gens, so I'm sure you'll always find something interesting here. Thanks a lot for watching!

[@dror843]

@ as am i or as they blantly say "genwunner"

[@MarioSonicDKPokeFAN]

To this day, I regret selling my N64 gane collection. Though I still have my extra copy of pokemon stadium left. (I bought 2 years back) I still herald this pokemon battle game as peak! It had the best animation, the pokemon appearing, attacking, and fainting. The Moves Special effects even had charm. The announcer got annoying after a while but in the beginning hearing him was a game changer! I would love to see a pokemon battle style only game like this again before I leave this world

[@takashitaisho1926]

26:33 WHAT WAS THAT I've never seen Venusaur do that, it just stand up!

[@CasualCade]

Babe wake up! A new Eisenberg video that won’t scare you just dropped! 👀

[@asmrtpop2676]

I still own both of mine and still play them occasionally!! Such good games. So hard though lol.

[@BalmungHKs]

pokemon stadium 1 & 2 are the best in the series, the reason? Satoru Iwata participated in the development

[@RealEisenBerg]

You're right! Satoru Iwata was also key in Pokémon Gold, Silver and Crystal. Thank you for watching!

[@natessliceoflife]

Took me 20 years to beat the master level with in game Pokémon.

[@fallensoap1]

great video

[@RealEisenBerg]

I'm glad you enjoyed! Greetings!

[@fallensoap1]

@@RealEisenBerg I've watched all of your iceberg videos. keep up the good work

[@greg5892]

Wait, isn’t it not true that stadium rentals have no EVs? I thought the developers used EVs to alter the balance and make otherwise non-viable Pokémon somewhat usable. Rentals has its own meta and is definitely not less than when compared to using the expansion pack.

[@joshuamtzchz2596]

I grew up playing this games stadium 1 y 2 my very first pokemon battles where in Pokemon stadium in 3d before I even knew about red and blue, we didn't had a transferpak back then. I remember that I used to ask my self the perpose of the GB tower, when I found out I used my yellow copy and almost ended stadium 1 but my sister ruined the cartridge because she let the N64 on for like 12 hours,......so i almost finished it and stadium 2 i finished both rounds it was a headache but stadium 1 is harder

[@RealEisenBerg]

I still have to beat Round 2 of Pokémon Stadium. I might give it a try before I upload the Pokémon Stadium 2 retrospective! Greetings!

[@henge420]

I filled the Victory Palace with all rental Pokemon and to do it beat all cups multiple times. Thunderwave is the most handy move in the game. The toughest wall for me is Lass' Tentacruel. That op Dragonair is easy. Just Thunderwave it and have something in your party with Ice Beam or Blizzard. Once it's paralysed it's easy. Even beat it with Seismic Tosses and other random stuff. Long as you Thunderwave it, you got no issue.

[@BlackForceTrainer]

I started playing D.A.M. Champion because I miss the old pokemon nostalgia but I wanted something different.

[@HeroSmith-_-]

¿Algún dia vendrá este video doblado? Uwu's?

[@Mante_killa]

Amazing video! Please do more n64 games

@ can you do one for banjo kazooie

[@wwijsman]

I wish there was a new Pokemon Stadium

[@clr977]

I HATED fighting Mr.Mime. Had to mention that after seeing a clip of him. Dragonair too! I’m sorry you went through that. 😭

[@KraussAudioBooks]

This was awesome but you should make another video for PS2. That game surpassed PS1 in many ways

[@TheR0b1991]

weird fixating on the fisher round 1 using a transfer pak, if the gyrados had surf ice beam thunderbolt it wouldn't need any flinches. the round 2 level 20 alakazam is the real hardest part especially without a transfer pak.

[@JacobKrone-y5p]

"First!">😀🔫😶

[@NANA-kf1cs]

Please make a video on Stadium 2 next.

[@RealEisenBerg]

Absolutely! Thanks for the recommendation

[@techguypaul]

The people that use the Stadium games (and Battle Revolution) to say Gamefreak doesn't care anymore are just ignorant because GF didn't even make those games lol

[@magnawaves]

People don't say that gamefreak doesn't care anymore, they say that gamefreak is shit in comparison.

[@techguypaul]

@@magnawaves and those people don't understand game development lol

[@pokepress]

You probably wouldn’t want the level/duration of animations in Stadium in a mainline game, at least outside of major battles, due to how much it would slow things down.

[@techguypaul]

@@pokepress exactly. They look cool but a lot of them would really slow down a playthrough. Also even some of those could be improved. But the next goalpost would probably be that the games are too big when they do add new animations for all the Pokemon and all of a sudden the full game is 30GB lol

[@mobilenation1104]

NO MORE DEX CUT IN ALL THE FUTURE POKEMON GAMES!

[@christianbell8347]

I'm a chronic homosexual but even I enjoyed this video. Not bad!

[@Angus-McFife-2nd]

What?

[@pwnedurmum69]

You should do more pokemon retrospectives instead of just Icebergs. Just my opinion :)

[@RealEisenBerg]

Definitely, I'll make a video for each generation including some spin offs. Greetings!

[@techguypaul]

@@RealEisenBerg that would be great!
