Special Info: The Nintendo 64 Pokémon Stadium Battle Set included a standard Charcoal Grey Nintendo 64 console, one controller, a copy of Pokémon Stadium, a Transfer Pak, and a Pokémon-themed N64 controller. The Transfer Pak allowed players to connect Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow Game Boy cartridges to the Nintendo 64, enabling them to battle with and display their own Pokémon in 3D. The bundle was one of the first major Pokémon console packages released outside Japan.
Did You Know? Pokémon Stadium was the first game to let players battle with their own Game Boy Pokémon in full 3D. The included Transfer Pak became one of the Nintendo 64’s most iconic accessories and was later compatible with several other Nintendo 64 titles. Complete Pokémon Stadium Battle Sets containing the original console, controller, Transfer Pak, game, manuals, and outer packaging are highly sought after by Pokémon and Nintendo collectors today.
