Which console received Pokémon Stadium when it was released outside Japan?

The story behind the answer

Pokémon Stadium was released outside Japan for the Nintendo 64.

The game brought Pokémon battles into fully rendered three-dimensional arenas, allowing players to watch teams fight on a television rather than only on the Game Boy’s small screen. It was developed for Nintendo’s 64-bit home console.

Pokémon Stadium was released in Japan in 1999 and arrived in North America and Europe in 2000. Its Transfer Pak allowed compatible Game Boy Pokémon games to connect with the Nintendo 64 title, letting players use Pokémon from their own cartridges.

The Japanese release had a different naming history: the game commonly known internationally as Pokémon Stadium was called Pokémon Stadium 2 in Japan. A later title was known internationally as Pokémon Stadium 2.
