Pokemon Cries Comparison: Stadium 1+2 VS Pokemon R/B,G/S 

The stadium cries are so realistic in a way. I love them.

The bird pokemon actually sounding like birds is amazing. Stadium is a gem.

I am blown away by the effort a team must have gone to to give each and every Pokemon a cry that not only closely resembles their low quality electronic cries, but includes references to their type, concept and the animal they might resemble in addition to a sense of personality. It's crazy to me that all this work will never really be truly recognised or appreciated.

It's insane how they're both realistic AND true to the originals they are. It's a really hard balance to get. I remembered all of these separately but hearing them back to back is a whole other experience. These are also so much better than the updates XY gave older mons' cries with much more advanced tech.

This was amazing. I kinda wish that the cries for Gen 6 onward did the more realistic approach that Stadium did. The "remastered" cries that they did instead are alright, but still.

I never understood why they didn't reuse these for Gen 3 and onwards, they're like just an HD version of the original GB sounds

I like how out of all of them, Magnemite and Magneton are seemingly the only ones that they DIDN'T change since they're already robotic

I assume this is what Pokemon would sound like in real life.

Articuno’s stadium cry is so majestic it brings me to tears

I love how accurate they are to the original cries while still sounding like actual creatures

Fun Fact: Pikachu has a special set of sounds and animations depending of whether or not they come from Pokémon Yellow. PY Pikachu's cries are dubbed and also play when attacking or taking damage.

That Mr. Mime Stadium cry... sounds so menacing.

As Gen IX comes out, I’ve noticed a lot of the cries in the game follow Stadium’s format: like real animals, but with references to their type (Kilowattrel, Mabosstiff for example). Crazy that Stadium was basically two decades ahead of its time.

The fact that Stadium’s cry for Mr. Mime scared me shows how great it is

The Stadium cries are not only more realistic, but the are very beautiful and pleasant.

1:13 Stadium Nidoking is my literal childhood, he was the coolest Pokemon in existence to me

THEY SOUND SO REALISTIC WHILE ALSO BEING SO TRUE TO THE ORIGINAL CRIES IM SO IN LOVE

As a child, I was always fascinated to hear the differences between their cries. I still to this day refer to some of their cries using Pokémon Stadium cries, especially Hitmonlee. That “Un un un” cry has never left my head. So much work was put into these cries, I’ll forever be grateful for them.

nobody talks about totodile and croconaw doing the actual noise of a baby crocodiles

03:31 really love how Haunter's Stadium cry incorporates a little shrieking noise into it, really helps sell the Ghost-type aspect of it

3:49 Kingler, didn't realize he was part cat.

These are just better than the XY cries. I LOVE the Bulbasaur line's!!!

Gotta love how the Chikorita line sounds like birds

Psyduck/Golduck and Mankey/Primeape are perfect and absolutely hilarious. That is exactly what they should sound like lol.

So many are amazing. A lot of the bird cries are straight upgrades, like Murkrow and Fearow's line, Zapdos, Moltres, Articuno, Pidgey line, as well as Vulpix and Ninetales' cry.

Ninetails always sounds forever the most majestic and mystical! ❤

noctowl’s cry is the best one. it does not get any better than that. it fits perfectly

These cries give me like gen 4-5 vibes where they started implanting realistic sounds to the Pokémon cries, but with a fine mix of some console sound bits in them

Gen 10 needs to use this style of cries

3:51 Sounds like a cat meowing in the background of Kingler's cry

This is much better than them only saying their names.

I've never played Pokémon Stadium, but man. These cries are FANTASTIC. The fact that they sound like the original ones, is a thing. But the amazing thing is that they actually make them sound like mythical creatures. Most of them actually sound real, and threatening. It's just great! Also they sound a bit like gen 5 cries… Maybe that's why I love them.

4:36 always loved this one

I love how with pokemon like Doduo or Dugtrio, you can almost hear each head making a distinct part of the cry.

the sound team from this game is goated. imagine a modern Pokemon game coming out with this much effort

Man that elephant sure got a lot of work with the stadium games.

Sometimes I get sad, but then I remember Lickitungs Stadium cry sounds like this 4:14

Sounds better than Scarlet and Violet crys

These are amazing. They clearly take inspiration from the original cries, but sound like creatures. And they don't go into the bullshit anime saying their name thing. This is the perfect middle ground for Pokemon cries.

I love that during the 90s, the pokémon's cries weren't just robotic beeps, but representations of more complex sounds. GF tried to make the Pokémon feel more than just data in a software, as long as technology allowed them. Now GF will just leave things as they are (like the original cries) because "it's nostalgic". The pokémon don't feel like living creatures anymore, they are now just clusters of data. And it's sad

Miltank being a straight-up cow’s “moo” gets me everytime.

Gamefreak: I don’t even know you. These are high quality cries.

Is it me or the Haunter one was always the most horrifying one, in the good way. Imagine being midnight and you hear that cry in the dark of the streets...

I feel so insulted that a SPINOFF GAME has more love than the base game. The sounds of every individual cry is uniquely charming

More effort was put into this and resulted in better cires than every mainline pokemon game.

I love hitmonlee's stadium version, it brings me some childhood memories

Dear Pkmn Stadium 1 & 2 Teams: You taught me english, to dream, and to challenge myself (because holy cow some of those battles were brutal). I will be forever thankful to you

I would say out of all of them, Ninetales, Donphan, Snorelax, Psyduck, Poliwag, Jigglypuff and Jinx's cries are the ones I default to most often in my head over their actual cries.

I wonder Why Gamefreak didn't use the Stadium cries for Gen 6 onwards?

Scyther 4:49 Electabuzz 4:56 Onix 3:35

I love how unique all the cries are, and you can feel the personality in the cry itself!

Some of these sound better than the remade ones from the games. Others sound like they told an animal to replicate the original cry and used the closest sound it made.

5:43 DANG!!

I really like how if you listen you can hear traces of the Game Boy Variant in the Stadium Version My personal Favorite being The Nidoran Family and Mareep Line

All other Pokémon: masterfully reworked cry. Miltank: MOO

Am I the only one who can Sandslash say "slash" in its Stadium cry? Also the whole Caterpie line sounds adorable 😍.

0:41: w o w 2:00: ha ha 2:02: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA 4:10: *_stomach gurgles_* 6:29: ooOOOoo 9:08: mOOOo 9:33: _one of the cutest noises known to mankind_

1:38 favorite cry

Spearow and Fearow sound just perfect in every aspect!

0:55 Cry Of The Legendary Pokémon Mascot; Pikachu.

mankey being a straight up monkey scream sent me and idk why

RU-vid has given me SO much more respect for Pokemon stadium. I swear.

3:49 I hear a cat in the background of Kingler's Stadium cry 🤣

0:36 LMFAO PIDGEY 2:02 Bro will NOT be Diddy Kong 8:26 why does Swinub sound like that

Mr. Mime's cry in stadium has the evil laugh

Awesome! Pokémon Stadium 1 & 2 cries are ahead of their time in the 90s/early 2000s and bear similarity with some many sounds coming from animals such as birds, dogs, fishes and others.

This is way better than the X/Y cries!

This is what pokemon should sound in the animation

4:58, 7:03 and 7:12 are earcandy

I have a feeling if the anime didn't have them say their names, this is how they would sound outside the games. Imagine the pokemon movie with this kind of sound effects

That haunter cry tho

3:31 is just so badass. Pokémon Stadium (2) Haunter is my personal favorite Pokémon.

0:37 woah, how have I never heard these? The loon Pidgey calls are so cool!

Another example where the side games outshine mainline games that are 10+ years older

the one where i first noticed the similarity as a kid was gastly. that and the fact that gastly is ENORMOUS in pokemon stadium

4:34 Seadra sounds like its coughing.

God, some of these made me so hype, I never played Stadium but all my favourite pokemon had such good cries!

Even the ones not taken from real animal sounds feel more natural and fluid

And they were never heard from again.

You could straight up use most of these as kaiju cries and I love that!

Man, I've been waiting for someone to make this video!! High props because I know this must've been a pain! Love Stadium series😍

Alot of the Stadium cries are really good. I'm surprised newer 3D Pokemon games don't use them. Imgaine hearing these in Sword or Shield or Scarlet and Violet.

RBY Machop line: chip tune noises Stadium Machop line: literally just guys screaming

I like how Pikachu actually says Pikachu 00:56

I love Ninetails, Arcanine & Lapras. Stadium’s Pokemon cries were truly iconic.

hearing all the n64 ones am making me super nostalgic, really wish this was something they did more of

These cries are really good. If you listen close, you can actually hear the original cry buried within a lot of the gen 1 Stadium cries. You'd never notice in the actual game though.

A long time needed on RU-vid. Good stuff! Better than the old drawn out videos with animations and music and stuff slowly changing from one to the other.

Probably the weirdest thing to make me feel emotional

Say what you want these are the best Pokémon cries

Hope that in future games they use more realistic cries for pokemos , i dont understand how pokemon stadium 2 an old game have more better cries than pokemon scarlet 😅

These feel like they could be the Pokémon’s cries if they were introduced in the modern era

they really should reuse these for newer pokemon or for regional forms to make them distinct

6:05 - 6:07 - 6:09 chikorita evolution line sounds like a eagle

they’re all so cool sounding and then primeapes just the noise i make when i step on a lego

7:12 *Sudowoo*

Just imagine hearing these alone in a jungle or on a boat at night

Most recognizable and iconic: -Spearow 0:44 -Drowzee 3:39 -Articuno 5:42

3:00 I love to hear it

Spearow, Meowth, Growlithe and Rapidash sound like their respective animals and thats very cool
