Surfing Pikachu discovered

[03.07.00] » Pokémon Stadium victories unlock hidden mini-game in Pokémon Yellow

   Yet another use for the Transfer Pak in Pokémon Stadium has been discovered. IGN Pocket today reported on a method, using both Pokémon Stadium and Pokémon Yellow, to unlock the elusive "surfing Pikachu" bonus game.

   In order to obtain Surfing Pikachu, players must first complete the "normal" Pokémon Stadium cups to obtain the Round 2 mode. Then, players must use a Game Boy Pokémon save with Pikachu to enter the Master Ball division of the R-2 Prime Cup -- the toughest tournament available. Using Pikachu in the active team for every battle and winning them all without continuing will net Pikachu the Surf ability at the conclusion of the tournament. Once Pikachu has learned Surf, he can be exported back into Pokémon Yellow and taken to Route 19, where a man inside a hut will let you give the hidden "Pikachu's Beach" game a spin.
