'''Pokémon Stadium''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンスタジアム'''), sometimes known as '''Pokémon Stadium 0''' among English-speaking fans to distinguish it from the later sequels, is the first game of the Stadium series, and was released in Japan in 1998. This version featured only 42 {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} instead of all of the 151 [[Generation I]] Pokémon. As a result, not even every [[evolution]] family was included.

This version featured only 42 {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} instead of all of the 151 [[Generation I]] Pokémon. As a result, not even every [[evolution]] family was included. This game was originally intended to make the finals of the tournaments held in Japan available for those who didn't participate in them, so that they could challenge the finalists with their own Pokémon. The demand for a complete game was high so an [[Nintendo 64DD]] expansion disk was announced shortly before the release of the game. As the 64DD was a commercial failure, a sequel with all of the Generation I Pokémon (known as the original {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}} elsewhere in the world) was released instead. | ||

* From the start, Nintendo had no plans on making a sequel or an expansion to this. The game was foremost a promotional game to increase the main series popularity. The stadium's sole purpose was to enable battling in 3D. The demand for a Pokémon 3D game on the N64 was answered with a separate project that Game Freaks worked on simultaniously during the developement of this game. | |||
* {{p|Pikachu}} is the only Pokémon allowed to battle in this game that can still evolve in [[Generation I]]; in fact, {{p|Raichu}} does not appear in the game at all. | * {{p|Pikachu}} is the only Pokémon allowed to battle in this game that can still evolve in [[Generation I]]; in fact, {{p|Raichu}} does not appear in the game at all. | ||
* The game recieved alot of criticism because of the difficulty of this game. Mostly because in L1-30 Division lots of the opponents pokémon had powerful moves like Blizzard even though none of the rentals had them. | |||
* This is the only game of the Stadium-series where {{p|Pikachu}} can learn surf of the japanese versions. | |||
* The game is compatible with {{game|Yellow}} despite being released beforehand. A similar situation exists with {{g|Colosseum}}, which contains 3D models of the [[player characters]] from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} even though Colosseum was released several months beforehand. | * The game is compatible with {{game|Yellow}} despite being released beforehand.
