The '''Pokémon Stadium series''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンスタジアムシリーズ''' ''Pokémon Stadium series'', officially ''Pocket Monsters' Stadium series'') was a spin-off series of Pokémon games for the [[Nintendo 64]] released during [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]] and compatible with the games of those generations. In the games of this series, players can upload Pokémon from their [[Game Boy]] games to battle in 3D in various modes, most notably [[Stadium Mode]], featuring various classes for Trainers to beat, and the [[Gym Leader Castle]], featuring the [[Gym Leader]]s, [[Elite Four]], and {{pkmn|Champion}} of the respective generation's games. Players who did not have any [[core series]] games could still rent almost all 251 Pokémon at the time in certain modes. | The '''Pokémon Stadium series''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンスタジアムシリーズ''' ''Pokémon Stadium series'', officially ''Pocket Monsters' Stadium series'') was a spin-off series of ''Pokémon'' games for the [[Nintendo 64]] released during [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]] and compatible with the games of those generations.

When [[Generation III]] was released, many expected a third (fourth in Japan) Stadium game to surface, complete with a [[Hoenn]] Gym Leader Castle. Instead two RPGs were released, [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and {{Pokémon XD}}, and a separate storage system, {{g|Box Ruby & Sapphire}}. In the most basic sense, the Stadium series had ended. However, the [[Generation IV]] game [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] brings back many of the features of the Stadium series, such as [[Little Cup]], the division to rounds and prize Pokémon. However, there is neither a [[Sinnoh]] Gym Leader Castle, a storage system, nor a mini-game mode. | When [[Generation III]] was released, many expected a third (fourth in Japan) Stadium game to surface, complete with a [[Hoenn]] Gym Leader Castle.
