Pokémon Stadium (Japanese: ポケモンスタジアム) is the first game of the Stadium series, and was released in Japan in 1998. This version featured only 42 Pokémon instead of all of the 151 Generation I Pokemon, and was not released outside of Japan. This game was originally intended for the Nintendo 64DD format, but as the Nintendo 64DD was a commercial failure, Pokémon Stadium transferred to cartridge format. There were also plans for a Pocket Monsters Stadium Expansion Disk, a proposed add-on for the Nintendo 64DD, but it never got released.

The 42 Pokémon included in this version were: Venusaur, Charizard, Blastoise, Beedrill, Fearow, Pikachu, Nidoqueen, Nidoking, Dugtrio, Primeape, Arcanine, Alakazam, Machamp, Golem, Magneton, Cloyster, Gengar, Onix, Hypno, Electrode, Exeggutor, Chansey, Kangaskhan, Starmie, Scyther, Jynx, Pinsir, Tauros, Gyarados, Lapras, Ditto, Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, Aerodactyl, Snorlax, Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Dragonite, Mewtwo, and Mew.
