One of my favorite things about the Pokemon Stadium games are the minigames because even non-pokemon fans can enjoy them. It can be tough finding someone to battle but I've found it pretty easy to find 4 players to play the minigames. I only have Pokemon Stadium 2 but I know most of the minigames from 1 as well. So my questions are: what is your favorite/best/worst/least favorite minigame(s)? I'm especially interested in finding out if anyone is great at the ones I'm awful at.
Keep in mind that I'm only listing Pokemon Stadium 2 minigames but feel to list minigames from the first stadium as well.
Best: Egg Emergency, Furret's Frolic, and Barrier Ball. I can do perfect every time on hard for egg emergency and am close on very hard. The other two I can almost always beat the AI on very hard but real people are another story.
Worst: Pichu's Power Plant and Gutsy Golbat. I really am horrible at Pichu's Power Plant and can only win against easy COMs. With Gutsy Golbat I feel like every time I've ever won was a complete fluke and that I lucked into it.
Favorite: Eager Eevee by far. This game has a lot of strategy involved at higher levels of difficulty. Being able to avoid a penalty is just as important as having the fastest reflexes. I always thought I was pretty good at this one. I could usually win a piece of fruit by being as fast as 0.15 seconds. Then I played a friend who could anticipate the lid opening so well that he could grab the fruit in 0.04 seconds nearly every time. So that's when this game passed from the best category to favorite.
Worst: Delibird's Delivery. I don't hate this minigame but I'd prefer any of the other ones because I think this one involves the most luck. When playing Mini-Game Champion on hard or very hard I usually just spend the entirity of this game trying to sabotage the leader from winning by getting in their way and trying to get them hit.
