Video: Pokémon Stadium Side-By-Side Graphics Comparison (Switch & N64)

How is it running better than Scarlet and Violet? And with a better frame rate!?

Major difference I see is that you can't bring in your own team from another Pokémon game.
Hopefully that's something they sort out in the future.

@Zach777,

Because the latter is much larger in scale, and has better visuals etc.

One issue I noticed is when using Double Team, the clones don't look transparent and instead they look solid and it looks weird to see the same model clipping through one another.

I imagine this will also be an issue with Pokémon Stadium 2's Faint Attack unless it's fixed.

Wow I had forgotten how good this game looks.

@johnvboy he was being facetious because V&S run and look like trash.

In Nintendo 64 time. I was playing this with my friends in other friend in his home. In total 4 players only the mini games. Whole day. Nintendo is the best with family games.

Without the Game Boy compatibility, I'm not sure how fun this game actually can be. You just can use Pokémon, that are already programmed for it.

@RareFan for kids, probably very much lol. Maybe not for teen or adult gamers. As a kid I’d play this all the time without gameboy Pokémon and have so much fun lol

For those who want the Pokémon Stadium series back, forget it, the appeal was when the mainline Pokémon games had 8-bit graphics and the N64 could have 3D battles, now that the mainline Pokémon games have 3D graphics, there's no commercial value in a new Pokémon Stadium or remakes of 1 and 2, during the Wii era, Battle Revolution didn't do well.

Sure, the graphics and animations of recent Pokémon games are terrible, even a N64 game is better animated, but we need improvements and Game Freak should just outsource the models and animations.

Wow! Big news! N64 games look bad now. Surprise

Can't wait to play this again. I have very fond memories playing it in my early childhood. Never had the chance to import Pokemon from any mainline games, so the default roster and all of its odd move sets will undoubtedly be a huge nostalgia trip for me this weekend.
To this day whenever I play an rpg with turn-based battles and there's a moment of downtime as the game lists off status effects or something, there's a pretty good chance that I'm saying to myself, "Sparks are flying in this heated battle!"

@NinjaNicky,

Ah, that explains it then. thank you.

@victordamazio Hmm, I disagree. With them selecting which Pokemon to include in titles, it might be good to have a once per generation Stadium title that is targeted at the competitive market. They include all Pokémon in this one game, include only basic animations, so they don't have to animate walking, interactions etc for each Pokemon and go back to the basic 2-3 attack animations per Pokemon. Use Home as the source of the Pokémon data, and have a validation standard that checks that Pokémon are at the current competitive standard before being allowed to be registered for battle. I think if Stadium is to exist in the future, this is the way to do it.

@TanukiTrooper A Pokémon Stadium 3 designed for the competitive crowd could work, but seriously, just improve the mainline games first.

Making a separate Pokémon game just to have better animations and graphics would seal the fate of how Game Freak is incompetent.

@RareFan I will say the mini games hold up amazingly well.

@tanukitrooper thank you! Now would be a perfect time for pokemon stadium 3! I'm not sure why @victordamazio keeps copy and pasting that same comment across multiple sites/articles for weeks now

@Zach777 Emulation != new game
