Pokémon Stadium 2 3D

Pokémon Stadium 2 3D is a a video game that was intended for the Nintendo 3DS. It is a remake of Pokémon Stadium 2 that was originally released for the Nintendo 64 back in 2000.
==Gameplay==
Unlike the main series, Pokémon Stadium 2 3D does not have a storyline or a well-defined world. Instead, the game features players to trainer battles at the stadium and at the Gym Leader Castle. After the players completes all cups and the Gym Leader Castle, it can take on a rival named Silver. After defeating Silver, the second quest is unlocked, where the player must play the same game modes with much greater challenges.
==Graphics==
3D renderings of all 251 Pokémon have all be remade, which look similar to the graphics in Pokédex 3D Pro. Stadium layouts have been reworked, and the ones in the Gym Leader Castle use themes that fit the nature of the main series games more fluently. Move animations have been reworked with newer graphics.
==Stadium==
In stadium mode, there are four different cups; the Poké Cup, Challenge Cup, Little Cup, and Prime Cup. The Poké Cup, Challenge Cup, and Prime Cup have four ball difficulties; Poké Ball, Great Ball, Ultra Ball, and Master Ball. The Little Cup is just a single difficulty tournament.
==Gym Leader Castle==
The Gym Leader Castle has eight gyms with four trainers apiece. After completing all eight gyms, the challenger can face the Elite Four and Champion Lance. After defeating Lance, the player can advance to the Kanto Gym Leader Castle, where it faces the gym leaders of the original generation plus Red.
==Mini-Games==
Mini-Games have reworked scenes and effects. All nine mini-games return from the original version.
==Data transfer==
The original Pokémon Stadium 2 used a feature where players could insert a Transfer Pak into their N64 controllers with Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Gold, Silver, or Crystal inserted. With the feature, players could use their own Pokémon to compete in the listed modes to make it easier to win aside from rentals. In addition, players could transfer their Pokémon and items to secret storage areas while in Oak's Lab. But for the features to take effect, the game must be saved at a Pokémon Center.
The Nintendo 3DS remake has a new feature called "Data Transfer". When Pokémon Stadium 2 3D first starts booting up, it automatically detects if there is a save data of the first and second generation main series games in the 3DS. If there is more than one game, all games in the first and second generation take effect. While preparing for a selection of Pokémon before stadium battle, the player can choose any of the games that were found to have save data and select Pokémon from that save data. In Oak's Lab, players could transfer their Pokémon and items to secret storage areas while in Oak's Lab. But for the features to take effect, the game must be saved at a Pokémon Center.
==Music==
The composers for the original Pokémon Stadium 2 were Kenta Nagata, Hajime Wakai, and Toru Minegishi. The composer for the remake is Ryo Nagamatsu, who has been notable for doing A Link Between Worlds. The soundtrack for the remake has remixes of the old tracks in rock and orchestral styles. The original Pokémon Stadium 2 has been widely criticized for faulty audio quality, but the remake has improved it by far many.
==Narration==
The narrator for the original Pokémon Stadium 2 was Ted Lewis. In the 3DS remake, the narrator is Roger Parsons, who has been notable for being the English narrator for Pokémon Battle Revolution. Rather than use the quotes Lewis had, Parsons uses his own quotes, especially with some he had said before in Battle Revolution.
