Are Pokémon Gold, Silver and Crystal compatible with the original Pokémon Stadium?
The Pokemon Gold, Silver and Crystal game paks are not compatible with the original Pokémon Stadium game. If you put any of the three games in the Transfer Pak you will get an “invalid game pak” message. At the time Pokémon Stadium was created, we had not yet finalized the characters for Gold, Silver and Crystal. Because of this, they could not be programmed into Pokémon Stadium. In addition, you cannot play the Gold, Silver or Crystal version of Pokémon in Pokémon Stadium’s GB Tower mode because the Pokémon Stadium game pak is not able to “emulate” the game. At the time the Pokémon Stadium game was created, the final code for Gold, Silver and Crystal did not yet exist, and could not be programmed in the game. However, please note that Pokémon Stadium 2 has been released. This game is fully compatible with Pokémon Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold, Silver and Crystal. The game also features the same GB Tower function that allows players to enjoy these games on their TV. • What do I do with my ju
