the kids mode is rigged, but everything else is just plain hard. you won't believe how pissed i was when some baby erased my whole file.
So i started the game when i was 6 (now im 14), me and my friends managed to beat the Gym Leader Castle and win 9 out of the ten trophies in the stadium. then my friends left forever
BTW, me and friends did all that with RENTALS. it took forever to acomplish that. years later, i come back to try to get the last trophy (because i heard you fight mewtwo after you get 10 trophies and beat the gym leader castle) just to find that some b*tch erased my save file. all my time, friends, and effort RUINED. i just quit playing stadium after that.
Hey OP, in case you're still trying to beat Stadium, Alakazam with all the Ice Punch + Thunder Punch + Psychic + Recover/Fire Punch makes the difficulty trivial at best.
Also, any Psychic types. Even stuff like Hypno and Exeggutor.
The game is insane, but I have beaten it with my cousin. Wrap hax is just terrible. Even Mewtwo couldn't beat everything in Round 2. Eventually, we found out about amnesia and changed our Mewtwo's moveset. It soon became nearly unstopable. When we saw that the Mewtwo from round 2 was the same, except with max stats, we were like "Holy crap!!!"

It's so much easier to avoid Wrap if you switch Pokemon.
It breaks Wrap, you get a free-pass on the switching, and it's a whole lot easier to defeat the "wrapper Pokemon" afterwards.
I'll assume you were around 7 when you first got pokemon stadium.
For my first post on this forum, I would like to ask this. Am I the only one who has an extremely hard time with the little cup? To this day, I still can't beat R-2! I've only made it to the final round once since the semi-finalist is unbelievably cheap if I remember right.
