Ok so let me start this thread by saying I don't really have a point to make here, it's just an odd little thing I find interesting.
So, when I first came here to Taiwan, I bought a Japanese N64 and started buying Japanese games. I knew there was an exclusive pokemon stadium game, which was actually the first in the series. What we know as stadium is actually stadium 2 in Japan. What I didn't realise however, was that Japan DIDN'T get one of the pokemon games, namely pokemon puzzle league!
I thought that was really weird, because why wouldn't such a good and popular game, a POKEMON game not get released in Japan when pokemon fever was at its zenith? Anyway, then I realised that due to this NO region got every N64 Pokemon game! Check it:
Japan:
Stadium
Stadium 2
Stadium Gold/Silver

Hey you Pikachu
US:
Stadium (2)
Stadium 2 (gold/silver)
Snap
Puzzle League
Hey you Pikachu
PAL:
Stadium (2)
Stadium 2 (gold/silver)
Snap
Puzzle League
Also interesting that no region got the same line up either... And that PAL gets screwed over the most, as usual!
Anyway, if this topic does have a point, it is probably to ask WHY Japan didn't get puzzle league? Is it something to do with the panel de pon series or something?
