A '''Game Boy Tower''' (Japanese: '''GBビル''' ''GB building'') is a location in the [[Pokémon Stadium series]] where players may play [[Game Boy]] Pokémon games using the [[Transfer Pak]]. The Tower places a border around the game screen, using the same borders as the [[Super Game Boy]] accessory, with the exception of {{game|Crystal}}, which uses a generic border designed after a Game Boy; this same border is seen for a few moments in all games while it loads the boot ROM before rendering the Super Game Boy border and then booting the games in either Super Game Boy mode (for the Generation I games other than international {{game|Yellow}}) or [[Game Boy Color]] mode (for | A '''Game Boy Tower''' (Japanese: '''GBビル''' ''GB building'') is a location in the [[Pokémon Stadium series]] where players may play [[Game Boy]] Pokémon games using the [[Transfer Pak]].

When the Japanese {{game2|Red|Green|Blue|or}} are played on the Game Boy Tower, the animations of some [[move]]s are slowed down significantly, more so than in the edited animations of Japanese {{game|Yellow}} and Western {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}. This can occasionally cause brief graphical bugs with some moves, such as {{m|Body Slam}}. When played on a Super Game Boy or [[Game Boy Player]], however, the animations are shown in their original unedited form. | When the Japanese {{game2|Red|Green|Blue|or}} are played on the Game Boy Tower, the animations of some [[move]]s are slowed down significantly, more so than in the edited animations of Japanese {{game|Yellow}} and Western {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}.

*The Game Boy Tower appears to use a modified version of the Super Game Boy's BIOS; if it is forced to run a Super Game Boy-compatible game other than the core series Pokémon titles, will run the programming on it identically to the peripheral, complete with Super Game Boy-compatible games utilizing the special borders, colors, and sounds programmed onto their cartridges. However, the Game Boy Tower's save feature will not function in this scenario due to the Pokémon Stadium games not being programmed to recognize these ROMs.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cB9jr4lOOvw</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=As0v0hNBgAw</ref> | |||
