Which Nintendo 64 Pokémon game depicted all 151 original Pokémon in 3D battles?

The story behind the answer

Pokémon Stadium depicted all 151 original Pokémon in 3D battles on the Nintendo 64.

The game was released in Japan in 1999 and internationally in 2000. It focused on turn-based battles rather than a traditional role-playing adventure, allowing players to select teams and compete in tournament-style Cups and Gym Leader Castle challenges.

Pokémon Stadium connected to Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow through the Nintendo 64 Transfer Pak. This allowed players to use Pokémon from their Game Boy cartridges, organize them, and battle with them on the television screen. The game also included rental Pokémon and a collection of mini-games.

The Japanese release history can cause confusion: a Japan-only title called Pocket Monsters Stadium came first and supported only a limited selection of Pokémon. The internationally released Pokémon Stadium was a later, expanded title that supported all 151 species from the first generation.
