Pokémon Stadium made its debut in the early 2000s, marking the franchise’s venture into 3D gameplay. This innovative title amazed players by bringing beloved Pokémon to life in a new dimension. Despite the countless hours spent exploring this game, some features remained elusive to fans—until recently.
Discovering Hidden Animations
A recent video from D0UBLESLAP revealed some intriguing hidden animations from Pokémon Stadium, showing exclusive actions that occur when Pokémon use the move Mimic. This move allows characters to replicate attacks they do not normally possess. While some animations are subtle variations (for instance, Nidoking’s Stomp is merely an extension of its Double Kick move), others showcase distinct actions.
Unique Animations in Action
The video highlights two notable animations: Pikachu performing a Psychic move and Venusaur executing Earthquake. These animations add an amusing twist to gameplay and are certainly worth viewing for nostalgic fans of the series.
The Legacy of Pokémon Stadium
Despite its groundbreaking launch, Pokémon Stadium has not seen extensive expansions. Since its original release, it has only spawned one sequel in 2001. However, the newly announced Pokémon Champions could potentially rejuvenate interest in battle-focused gameplay. This title was introduced during the latest Pokémon Presents showcase, though a release date has yet to be confirmed.
