Pokémon Stadium is coming to Nintendo Switch Online next week but without arguably its biggest feature: the ability to transfer Pokémon from Game Boy titles Red, Blue, and Yellow.
Snuck into its reveal trailer (in tiny font for no more than five seconds) was the statement: “Please note you cannot transfer Pokémon from Game Boy titles in this version.” This means players will have to rent Pokémon instead, leading to what’s generally considered a less enjoyable experience.
“The first video game I’ve ever played,” said Zodyrus on Twitter. “One huge issue though. The question is will this be compatible with… anything? Cause you really cant get full enjoyment out of this game without using the Game Boy games alongside it.”
