Then you might want not me to tell you this, but Pokemon Stadium (for the
N64) goes one better than a mere rehashing of the Game Boy game.  PS comes • with
an adapter though which you can *download* your GB Pokemon into the PS
cartridge, and fight with all your old Pokemon in glorious color and 3D on the
N64.

Well...The 64 game is just the fighting aspects, with none of the (admittedly

pokemon in the 64 environment, which is cool, and offers a better GUI for
managing your GB Pokemon and inventory, as well as offering a GB emulator so
you can jump into the GB game while still on the 64.  Barbara and I use this

Pokemon boxes on the 64, then go back into the emulator to capture some more.

I hope Nintendo keeps up this trend of GB <-> 64 compatability; I wouldn't mind

(...) The reason for different mosters in different version is pretty simple- you're supposed to buy one and trade (via the Link Cable) with other players. Pokemon was Nintendo's answer to the Tamagotchi trend. The advantage that Pokemon had was (...) (24 years ago, 14-Jul-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.debate)
