Perhaps I'm overstating it, but when you stop taking them for granted the Stadium games start to sound like an absurd thing for grown adults who themselves were NOT obsessed with Pokemon to greenlight. The Pokemon storage and mini-games make sense, but the literal hundreds of battles as the primary draw? The decision makers at the time could very well have said the same thing Game Freak has been saying for the past decade (*gulp*) about PvP and official tournaments being the real endgame. But battle gauntlets we did get, and RBY have not one but TWO N64 afterlives, complete with Missingno in RB to cover your item needs across playthroughs forevermore. What a thing.

Heaven knows there are enough hacks to justify going back to the well at this point, it is a very nice problem.
