Name a comfier experience than playing Gen 1/2 on an original cartridge with a new battery, popping it into the Transfer Pak, and playing some Stadium 1/2.
>use the Lab to store excess items and Pokemon to the N64 cartridge, far, far easier box management than in either Gen 1 or 2, it's near instantaneous and is pretty much as quick as using Pokemon Bank is now
>use your hard-trained Pokemon to battle in events and finally show that nigga with the Porygon who's boss now that you're not just using rentals
>go to GB Tower and play games in 2x, 3x, and even 4x speed (4x speed is available in Stadium 2 for Gen 1 only), grinding becomes a snap, catching shit becomes more fun, 2x speed feels like it should be the default somehow
>switch borders to the retarded-ass Doduo one if you want
>get a Pokemon in Gym Leader Castle from a variety of one-off Pokemon in Gen 1, such as Hitmonlee/chan, Eevees, starters, etc and this can be repeated as many times as you want
>those Pokemon, when traded to Gen 2, give you a decoration for your room
>looking at the PokeDex locations in either Stadium 1/2 and seeing the glorious low-poly beauty
>take pictures of your fucking bros
>look at your room in 3D and see that they didn't even bother using good art for the Clefairy poster, just slapped the Clefairy 3D model on and called it a day
>you can fucking Mystery Gift without having a second GBC and game or having an insane friend who will do this shit with you every day
>look up in the library the learnset or egg group your Pokemon are in, information you'd normally need to beg your mom to buy a strategy guide to learn
Absolutely based. The Stadium games were the perfect supplement to the experience of playing Gen 1/2.
