UGH! This is HORRID! My friend Josh brought it over to my house and I played it for about an hour.
This game is definitely a NO! I'll talk about it's many failures in different categories.
Graphics: Normally, graphics don't matter in games... but in this game it's technically one of the most important parts. The only reason to get it is to see what the pokemon look like on a wii, really... and that's not even a good reason. These graphics are horrid! The bodies look like they're made out of clay and the faces look PAINTED on. The animations for the moves are horrid. I used Seismic toss on a pokemon and there is no real tossing... my pokemon just dances around for a few seconds, then the enemy just launches into the air. It then proceeds to go to a view from some hidden camera on the MOON, apparently, and the pokemon just floats up there, does a quick U-turn, and falls like a brick... without so much as struggling. Hell, the pokemon doesn't even move itself! It just flips as if it were some sort of doll or toy. These graphics are pathetic, and the graphics is one of the only reasons to play this game.
Gameplay: It's honestly horrible. In the beginning you are FORCED to listen to the lady tell you what each and every little button does... as if the description you get at the bottom when you highlight it isn't enough... when you finally get past the crappy forced tutorial and designing your lame characters, you get to battle with a battle system that is absolutely no different from any other pokemon game. It's honestly not worth it.
Sound: The music is loud and irritating, and the announcer's voice is extremely annoying. The pokemon don't really speak, and nobody else as far as I know speaks. So far, I am extremely dis-satisfied with the game.
Customization: I think we were all happy to find out you get to choose your trainer and what they wear... what you won't be happy about is that you have to do battle after battle after battle (which is honestly... amazingly repetative, considering you're fighting CPUs who have pokemon who use growl and tackle over and over)... and you get about 300 poke-coupons for the first series of fights (which totals about six or seven), and this is barely enough to buy you a new pair of shoes. Not to mention the fact that you can't see what the items look like before you buy them... and most of them are nothing but COLOR SWAPS! It's horrible! It's a guessing game, and when I have to spend money that I earned through a LONG, ANNOYING series of battles on this guessing game, hoping that I get something that DOESN'T look like vomit... well let's just say I'm fairly displeased.
Fun: This game is NOT fun, at ALL. The only redeeming quality is the fact that you can copy pokemon from diamond and pearl, and it has the same battle system as diamond and pearl. That's all.
My ratings: Graphics: 3/10 - PATHETIC Gameplay: 4/10 - really unsatisfying Sound: 2/10 dissapointing and horrible Customization: 5/10 - you get the items... you just don't know what they are and have to waste long amounts of time to get them Fun: 4/10 - not nearly fun enough to be worth the money you pay for it.
Is it worth the money? NO.. The only real "fun" I had with this game was pointing out it's flaws and laughing at how horribly done it was. The company that made this game was screwed over because they had to make designs for almost five hundred pokemon... and believe me when I tell you that's the ONLY reason it took so long to make this game. Don't buy it. TRUST me. |

If they had to make the Seismic toss animation more realistic and to make the knock back and fainting more real, it still would be under development by now and won't be released until after a month Brawl is released. They would have to realify (I know thats not a word) about 400 Pokemons and the company that made it are too lazy to do it. Look at Colleseum and XD GoD guys! THOSE are horrid too. Their attempts to make its Stadium like...phail. You can turn the announcer off. But I agree with you on the other parts. The only thing good about this game is that you can get a free Electivire and Magmortor |

Pokemon Stadium, at least, was a game. This one is a 50 dollar skin for crappy battle animations and 3D online Pokemon, where it takes 10 minutes to get to an error screen if there's an online problem.
Plus, it was the first 3D Pokemon game. Give it some slack. |

Everything but the bold is something I agree on.
Honestly, GameFreak and Nintendo are not doing their jobs well enough. I don't expect this half-assed, rushed crap from a gaming company like NINTENDO! I expect them to re-check the game twice for errors, and play-through it ten different times in order to make sure it's the best it can be.
I really hope pokemon doesn't do this horrible on future games. |

For those of you who said this was biased, it's not. This is the truth. The best looking graphic is the jiggilypuff, and that doesn't take a pile of crap any effort to make. |

They have this 3rd party developer that made Battle Revolution. I think it was... Genius Sonority? Something like that. |

Seconded. Guess who developed Stadiums 1+2? Nintendo/Game Freak. Both quality games. |

I dunno, I liked the fact that the battles were made more interesting.
Customizing a trainer was fun. too.
Plus, the Mini games SUCKED in Stadium. So yeah. I'm glad they removed them. |
