Pokemon Stadium is a battle focused Pokemon game for Nintendo 64, first released in Japan in 1999 and internationally in 2000. Unlike the handheld games, its 3D battles were narrated by a lively announcer who commented on attacks and knockouts throughout each match. The French version used a French speaking commentator, which is the source of this clip. Very short announcer bursts like this later spread on soundboards and in gaming edits, where their serious sports style contrasts humorously with small or silly moments on screen.
