The '''Pokémon 2000 Stadium Tour''' was a series of events that were held across the United States in 2000 promoting the release of {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}} for the [[Nintendo 64]] game console. At the event, attendees could see a preview of Pokémon Stadium and receive a {{p|Mew}} for the [[Generation I]] [[Game Boy]] games. Using the new [[Transfer Pak]], competitors were able to watch their best Pokémon, from their favorite Game Boy game, battle in full 3D on the Nintendo 64. The Stadium Tour hosted Pokémon Battles in three skill groups: Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced. Trainers were allowed to use either {{game3|Red and Blue|Pokémon Red, Blue|s}}, or {{v2|Yellow}} for the tournament. If the attendees and their Pokémon performed well, they had the opportunity to earn Official Pokémon Trainer Badges. Pokémon Masters from Nintendo were on-hand to challenge the very best Pokémon Trainers to a Pokémon Master Trainer Challenge on mammoth big screen televisions. The winner of the tournament was Alex Prin-Stairs. | The '''Pokémon 2000 Stadium Tour''' was a series of events that were held across the United States in 2000 promoting the release of {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}} for the [[Nintendo 64]] game console.
