RPGotW 10/6: Pokemon Stadium

A Genius · #1

This doesn't really have all the elements of an RPG, actually, even by MY standards (Does this game have a battle system? If so, it's an RPG. Or maybe it's just a weird racing game. Either way...), but I don't particularly care. If you liked the second one more, tan just pretend I put the second one in as RPGotW. I'm not sure how different they are, sinse I haven't played them, but I don't care. If yo want, you can even pretend I put in Final Fantasy IV as RPGotW.

And we have 3 RPGs of the week because...

Umm, Pokemon Stadium isn't an RPG at all. It's just a fighting game. Sure, there's a battle system, but it's not really a game in it's own.

I figured that would confuse somebody at some point. I'm putting dates on all of them, though. So that might help. If people still get confused, I'll change it to RPG of the month.

^Haha, ok.

^^Well, it IS a fighting game, just with turn-based battles. What would YOU call it, Carter? All you do is battle Pokemon. Hmm, sounds like a fighting/strategy game to me...

Pokemon Stadium isn't an RPG. It only contains part of the RPG, which is the battle system. So it becomes a battle strategy games. But another word for battling is fighting, so...

No, I wouldn't officially classify Pokemon Stadium as a fighting game, because that has the wrong connotation, but it IS a sort of fighter. Although strategy would fit better, it almost can't stand alone.

I almost want to say it's a battle sim, but it's NOT really one of those at all. Or is it?
