'''Pokémon Stadium 2''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンスタジアム{{ruby|金|きん}}{{ruby|銀|ぎん}}''' ''Pokémon Stadium Gold and Silver''; the series title ポケモンスタジアム is subtitled as '''Pocket Monsters' Stadium''') is | '''Pokémon Stadium 2''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンスタジアム{{ruby|金|きん}}{{ruby|銀|ぎん}}''' ''Pokémon Stadium Gold and Silver''; the series title ポケモンスタジアム is subtitled as '''Pocket Monsters' Stadium''') is a Pokémon game for the [[Nintendo 64]]. It is the sequel to [[Pokémon Stadium]]. | ||
This game | Pokémon Stadium 2 allows battling with Generation I and II Pokémon in 3D, featuring several different battle modes. Players can battle with their Pokémon from {{game3|Red and Blue|Red, Blue|s}}, {{v2|Yellow}}, {{game3|Gold and Silver|Gold, Silver|s}}, and {{v2|Crystal}} by using a [[Transfer Pak]]. This game can utilize the [[Nintendo 64#Peripherals|Nintendo 64 Expansion Pak]], but it is not required. The Japanese version also has the capability to use the [[Mobile System GB]] from the Japanese version of Pokémon Crystal. | ||
In Japan, it was released for Nintendo 64 on December 14, 2000, the same date as {{game|Crystal}}. In North America, Europe, and Australia, it was released in 2001, after the release of Pokémon Crystal in those regions. | |||
It was re-released for [[Nintendo Switch]] as part of the [[Nintendo Switch Online|Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack]] on August 8, 2023. However, this version of the game is unable to connect to the original [[Game Boy]] games (or their [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[Virtual Console]] releases). | |||
