What do you get when you add 100 more Pokemon to "Pokemon Stadium?" You guessed it. What did they used to say about the cockroaches surviving a nuclear war? My money's on Pikachu.

Games Radar UK (Pre-2006)

One of the most rounded and comprehensive packages you're ever likely to see, something that makes it worthy of recommendation to all discerning Pokefans out there.

GamePro

Pokémon fans can't go wrong with Stadium 2. You can work out your home-grown Pokémon in N64 color, and the Transfer Pak enables you to play any Game Boy Pokémon game on a big screen.

Daily Radar

It looks pretty, and is an impressive game -- but is ONLY for Pokemon fiends.

Da Gameboyz

The extensive Pokedex and library reference guide are almost worth the price of admission alone. Add to that, the capability of the Transfer Pak to access Pokemon from the Game Boy versions and things really begin looking up.

Happy Puppy

The best new feature is the school... There's no more need for those huge strategy books--this mode covers everything and reinforces it in a way no book could.

Hot Games

There’s no way the game will appeal to those who can’t stand Pokemon. There’s just not enough to make the game stretch that far.

IGN

The Pokemon Academy section of the game was brilliant, and the mini-games are a lot more fun. What it boils down to is this: Did you play through Gold or Silver? Did you enjoy battling? If so, you will love this game. If you did not, pass.

GameSpot

If you do have a Transfer Pak, want to get more out of Gold or Silver, and enjoy a lot of battling, then Stadium 2 is a complete package and is definitely worth picking up.

Electric Playground

Really, the whole cartridge is more like an added gimmick to the Game Boy games than an actual stand alone product.

GameShark

Granted, I fell asleep playing it.

Game Revolution

If you swear by Pokemon, have attached a surname of Wuggly to your name, or are one of the many who want me dead for calling these creatures "silly," then you'll probably like it.

Gaming Age

Probably the biggest problem with Pokemon Stadium 2 is its longevity. The entire game is based around battles. There is no adventure or quest to go on like in the Game Boy games.
