A ''' | A '''Gym Leader Castle''' is a location in the [[Pokémon Stadium series]] where players may battle the [[Gym Leader]]s and the [[Elite Four]] of the [[Pokémon games]] of that [[Generation]]. | ||
The [[Generation I|first]] Gym Leader Castle was simple: It was a darkened, curving path leading from spire to spire, with each spire's top in the shape of that Gym Leader's [[Badge]]. To advance to the next spire, players would need to defeat each of [[Kanto]]'s Gym Leaders in turn, eventually making way to the Elite Four and [[Pokémon champion|Champion]], [[Blue (game)|their rival]]. | The [[Generation I|first]] Gym Leader Castle was simple: It was a darkened, curving path leading from spire to spire, with each spire's top in the shape of that Gym Leader's [[Badge]]. To advance to the next spire, players would need to defeat each of [[Kanto]]'s Gym Leaders in turn, eventually making way to the Elite Four and [[Pokémon champion|Champion]], [[Blue (game)|their rival]]. After defeating the rival, players will get a random, one-time Pokémon, such as one of the [[Kanto]] [[starter Pokémon]] or {{p|Eevee}}, more than one of which were, at the time, not available without multiple games. | ||
The [[Generation II|second]] Gym Leader Castle was more complex. Instead of it being an ''actual'' castle, it featured differently-designed rooms for each of [[Johto]]'s Gym Leaders, each one representing the leader's [[Elemental types|type]] in its design. Like its predecessor, players would need to defeat each of Johto's Gym Leaders in turn, eventually making their way to the Elite Four and its Champion, [[Lance]]. | The [[Generation II|second]] Gym Leader Castle was more complex.

Upon his defeat, if all Pokémon on the player's team had taken part in the battles against the Elite Four and Champion, one of them could re-learn a move that was available to be learned by [[level]]-up. | ||

After the defeat of Lance, however, like in [[Pokémon Gold and Silver|Gold, Silver]], and [[Pokémon Crystal|Crystal]], players may challenge a revamped version of the Kanto Gym Leader Castle. Though it has the same battle arenas as the [[Pokémon Stadium|first game]], the outside design is slightly different, as now, instead, the eight badges of Kanto are on the sides of the castle's spires, and the eight are arranged more closely together. After the defeat of Kanto's set of eight, trainers unlock the battle with [[Red (game)|Red]], who, unlike his [[Game Boy Color]] counterpart, does ''not'' have a team that one would see in [[Pokémon Yellow]]. | After the defeat of Lance, however, like in [[Pokémon Gold and Silver|Gold, Silver]], and [[Pokémon Crystal|Crystal]], players may challenge a revamped version of the Kanto Gym Leader Castle.

The concept seems to have been abandoned in the same way that the Stadium series itself was, with no Gym Leader Castle for [[Hoenn]] or [[Sinnoh]]. | |||
