At the Game Boy Tower, players can play all compatible Pokémon Gameboy games on the Nintendo 64 using the Transfer Pak. This is similar to Nintendo's Super Game Boy and Game Boy Player, except it only plays the compatible Pokémon games.

There are two options: Load Max and Load Little. Load Max makes gameplay faster, but takes longer to load the Gameboy game.

Laboratory

In this laboratory of Professor Oak, players can do several things:

• Switch game paks to upload data from
• Trade Pokémon between different game paks (requires at least two Transfer Paks and two compatible Pokémon games)
• Check a 3D Pokédex
• Move and check items and Pokémon on a PC. This PC can be used to store Pokémon on the Stadium 2 Game Pak

Pokémon Academy

At Earl's Pokémon Academy, players can learn new battle skills and show them off. There is also an extensive items, Pokémon, and battling library at the Academy.

Your Room

Here players can see their room from Gold, Silver, or Crystal versions in 3D. As in the games, it can be redecorated freely, however, there must be a Generation II Pokémon game in the Transfer Pak to access it.

Mini Games

Four different game modes are available with twelve mini-games.

• Play a Mini-Game: Allows players to choose among the mini-games, for practice. Any slots not used by players will be filled in by the computer. (1-4 Players)
• Mini-Game Champion: Be the first to get a certain amount of coins to become the champion. Coins are awarded by die and a series of mini-games involving four players (other players or the computer). Coins won, if a game pak is attacked to the Transfer Pak, will be transmitted to the attached game's Coin Case.
• 1P Quiz: Test how many Pokémon questions can be answered in 100 seconds. (1 Player)
• Quiz for All: The first person to get the question right gets a point, and the first to get 10 points wins.(1-4 Players)

Here is a list of the 12 mini-games:

Pokémon from the games attached (if any) will be used in these minigames.

Battle Now!

Number of Players: One to Two

In this mode, one or two players battle with a random set of Level 40 Pokémon.

The Japanese verison uses the Mobile Phone System from Pokémon Crystal, allowing the player to trade battle and trade data with friends in a special stadium called the Mobile Stadium (モバイルスタジアム)
