I want to start this by taking you to a trip to the past. I'm not sure how old most of you are, but I'll assume you were around 7 when you first got pokemon stadium. I'm sure anyone who got this game originally had the gameboy games, so you were probably pissing your pants at the 3d action that is stadium. But have any of you ever went through the entire game, beating the Master ball of the poke cup and prime cup, beating the Elite 4, beating mewtwo, and doing the same for r2 mode during the 2nd grade? I'm pretty sure none of you did, because the game is rigged.
Whenever you try to beat the other pokemon, it seems that all the gods are on their side. If you do an attack, you just happen to miss. If you try to hypnotize them, the attack fails. If you're confused, then you hit yourself. But the opponent... NOOOOOO. He hits horn drills and fissures with almost a 50/50 accuracy, all of the status inflicting moves seem to hit, and they never take effect on him.
Even when this rigged-ness doesn't happen, the opponent spams multi-turn moves, so if you're pokemon is slower than the opponent, then you CAN'T HIT. They enjoy using attacks such as Double Team repeatedly, and since all of your attacks miss anyway, you can't take them out until it's too late...
One last story I would like to share. A week ago, for my 15th birthday, I took 3 of my friends to my house to play video games. Since we got bored of brawl, one of my friends saw my n64 with pokemon stadium, and asked if we could play some of the minigames. Seeing as how it was called Kids Club, I thought it would be a relaxing way to spend our time. I heard about a mode called "Hyper Mode," and all you had to do was beat 5 games in a row on hard mode. Seeing as how the game was meant for 7 year olds, I thought it would be fun.
WRONG! It took us 6 hours in total for 4 15 year olds to beat these games, and it's not because we all suck at video games. The AI was horrible (or should I say very good, since it managed to beat us so hard). The only games we could win were Dig Dig (the game with ;027; where you dug for water), Ratatta Run, Clefairy says (And we had to cheat on that one), and Magicarp splash. My friend could also beat the hypno + ekans games half the time, but in the other games, there was no doubt the computer was rigged. In the lickingtung game, the CPU would gather pure combos, and would purposely push you out of the way, so you eat all the bad food. In the Metapod game, the CPUs used harden almost beatufully on time, not letting the harden last a millisecond longer than it should. With the pikachu game, thundering dynamo, it was almost unbelievable how much the computer cheated. It pressed the buttons flawlessly, making the energy bar seem like a loading bar of some sort.
When we finally won, we decided to see hyper mode for fun, and it was god awful. We concluded there was no AI in hyper mode, just code for when to press the buttons, by developers who hated kids.
I'm not sure why I wrote this, probably just for fun, but please share your stories on how rigged this game was. I wanted to record it, but my dazzle didn't feel like working.
Do you think this game is rigged, and do you think the people who coded the game hate children?
