Pokémon Stadium 2
Nintendo 64Turn-based strategy
Pokémon Stadium 2 is a Nintendo 64 battle simulator developed and published by Nintendo. It expands the original Stadium formula with Pokémon from the Johto Pokédex alongside returning creatures, allowing players to assemble teams and fight under structured competitive rules. The main experience combines turn-based battles, challenge cups, a Gym Leader Castle, and a large collection of multiplayer minigames. Pokémon can also be transferred from compatible Game Boy Pokémon games through the Transfer Pak. The game was well received for its presentation, broad roster, useful training options, and strong local multiplayer, although its battle systems are most rewarding for players already familiar with Pokémon mechanics. Its emphasis is not on a traditional adventure campaign, but on testing team building, move selection, and tactical decision-making in a series of increasingly demanding battles.

How rankings are calculated
The list is generated from active EmuGamers catalog entries. Votes and play activity determine order; browser compatibility is reported separately and does not turn an untested game into a higher-ranked recommendation.
| Order | Signal | How it is used |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Real community votes | Games with at least one recorded vote appear before games with no votes. |
| 2 | Rating confidence | More votes rank first, followed by the rating value. |
| 3 | Play activity | Play count breaks rating ties and orders entries with no votes. |
| 4 | Stable tie-break | Game name keeps otherwise equal results deterministic. |
