I'm not sure whether it's possible without a Japanese version of the original Pokémon Stadium (not the NA release that had all 151 Pokémon) and a Japanese copy of Red/Green, however.
Unfortunately, though I own the Japanese Pokémon Stadium, I only have an English version Pokémon Blue and no GB -> N64 connection accessory. Would it be possible to accomplish this through emulators or hacking?
Eh? Either that Japanese site is wrong or I'm doing something wrong:


Those are ????? (the "surfboard"), Safari Ball, Pokedex/Zukan, the normal badges (Boulder/Gray to Earth/Green Badge), and finally Kaminari, Kaigara, Ojizou, Hayabusa, Hinyari, Nakayoshi, Bara, Hinotama and Gold Badge. Out of those, in the original Japanese Stadium and Stadium 2, only the Safari Ball has a description, as seen in the first screenshot, while for everything else the description is just blank. In addition, the unused badges, as well as ex. the floors (B2F, B1F, 1F, etc.) and the other entries beyond the unused badges (Egg, etc.), do not have names and only show as ?????.
In Red (and I assume at least Green), your inventory starts at 0xD2A1 in memory, with the amount of items you're currently carrying, after which from 0xD2A2 to presumably 0xD2CB follow the actual items. It's two bytes per item, the first being the item's ID, the second how many of it you have (for potions, etc). The list must be terminated with an item of ID 0xFF, otherwise the game won't display the "cancel" option at the end of the list and instead keep reading the next few bytes as (unselectable) items.
Also, N-Rage's Input Plugin V2 v1.82 and higher supports Transfer Pak emulation, or at least enough for most of the Pokemon Stadiums to work with - the GB Tower gives an error message, telling you to turn off the power.
