The Nintendo 64 (N64) is a cartridge-based console created by Nintendo. It is the successor to the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, and was eventually succeeded by the Nintendo GameCube.

There are seven Pokémon games for the Nintendo 64. In order of first release anywhere in the world, they are:

Expansion Pak – a memory expansion that plugged into the console's memory expansion port.
Transfer Pak – an accessory that plugged into the controller and allowed the Nintendo 64 to transfer data between Game Boy and N64 games. Pokémon Stadium and Pokémon Stadium 2 are games that rely heavily on the Transfer Pak.
Nintendo 64DD – a short lived expansion system for the Nintendo 64. Several Pokémon games that were announced for the N64DD were either cancelled or released on cartridge format only.
VRU (Voice Recognition Unit) – This device is packed in and required to play Hey You, Pikachu!.
Rumble Pak – a optional plug in device that "shakes" the controller in enabled games. The only Pokémon related game that uses it is Super Smash Bros. The name was used again for the Nintendo DS accessory.

Pikachu Nintendo 64

Nintendo 64: A special Pikachu Nintendo 64 Set was released during the holiday season of 2000. The MSRP was $189.99 for the normal set. The console came with a Pokémon controller. The Poké Ball is the On/Off switch and Pikachu's foot is the reset button. It came in two colors (blue and orange).[1]
Nintendo 64: A special Pokémon Edition of the Nintendo 64 was sold in Australia. Also included with the special Pokémon unit was the controller and the PAL released VHS of Pokémon - I Choose You!.[2]
Nintendo 64 Bundle: The aforementioned Pikachu Nintendo 64 was also available in a bundle exclusive to Toys R Us. It came with a pocket watch and the Hey You, Pikachu! game whereas all other retailers got the base unit with the controller.
