Lineup Differences [ edit | edit source ]

Both versions of the game present the player with twelve playable Pokémon, however the lineup of Pokémon differs between the two versions here, as seen here:

SNES Version [ edit | edit source ]

The gameplay of Pokemon Stadium consists of 1 on 1 battles where Pokémon charge energy for attacks. Each Pokémon has four attacks, Attack 1 being the weakest but least costly, and Attack 4 being the strongest but most costly. The control scheme is Down to charge, A to attack and select an attack, and B to taunt. Whenever an attack is performed, the defending Pokémon can choose to either defend or evade. Defending is luck-based and only reduces damage, but evading takes place on a slider where you try to land your arrow in the middle area. If you get this arrow in the center, you avoid taking any damage.

Mega Drive/Genesis Version [ edit | edit source ]

The Sega Mega Drive version of Pokemon Stadium, while having some aesthetic improvements and access to Pokémon unavailable in the SNES version, seems to be more broken than its SNES counterpart. The Arcade mode seems to not work properly, since after the first fight (which will always be against Dogas) the game goes back to the title screen. The controls in this version are A to charge and B to attack. Taunting seems to be have been taken out, and whenever one Pokémon attacks, the meters of both Pokémon will be gone the next turn. Defending and evading also seem to have been swapped.
