Pokemon Stadium 2 Nuzlocke Guide

This repository contains everything you need to start your own Pokemon Stadium 2 Nuzlocke using Pokemon Crystal.

Requirements

Before you begin, ensure you have the following:

• Game Boy Color Emulator – For this setup, I personally used the latest version of Visual Boy Advance (VBA).
• Pokemon Crystal ROM – You will need a valid ROM file. (I cannot provide links, but Google is your friend.)
• Pokemon Crystal Save File (.sav) – Create this by booting up Pokemon Crystal and saving in-game. Save states will not work.
• Nintendo 64 Emulator – Project 64 is recommended for emulating Pokemon Stadium 2.

Getting Started

1. Open VBA and load Pokemon Crystal.
2. Play the game normally, catch your Pokemon, and progress as needed.
3. Use in-game save (not save states) and close VBA.

Importing Your Team into Pokemon Stadium 2

1. Open Project64.
2. Navigate to:
   • Options > Input Settings
   • Controller Pak > Enable RawData
   • Select Transfer Pak from the dropdown.
3. Two options will appear:
   • GB ROM File – Click browse, locate your Pokemon Crystal (.gbc) file, and open it.
   • GB Save File – Click browse, locate your Pokemon Crystal (.sav) file, and open it.
4. Click Use, then Save.
5. Boot up your Pokemon Stadium 2 ROM – the emulator should now recognize your Transfer Pak, allowing you to use your Pokemon Crystal team.

Recommended Cheats

To speed up the process, you can use Gameshark cheats in VBA:

Additional Notes

• This setup allows you to transfer your in-game Nuzlocke team into Pokemon Stadium 2 for additional challenges.
• Cheats are optional but can be useful for fast-tracking.
