Pokémon Stadium (Japanese: ポケモンスタジアム Pokémon Stadium) is a stage introduced in Super Smash Bros. Melee and brought back in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It is the "main stage" for Mewtwo and Pikachu. The stage is normally a normal green platform, but can change forms as the games play on. The music played is normally the title theme from Red and Blue. Sometimes, however, the Trainer battle and Gym Leader battle theme from Gold and Silver may play. It features a large screen that, in Super Smash Bros. Melee, showed the records, time left, data, and which stage form that it will change into next. It may also zoom in on the player currently in first place.

Trophy information

There are many different arenas with varying different designs, some of which afford advantages to certain Pokémon.

Trivia

  • "Pokémon Stadium" was one of the five stages to get a trophy in Super Smash Bros. Melee (the others being Princess Peach's Castle, Fountain of Dreams, Battlefield, and Final Destination). However, the trophy gives incorrect information to its origin: the stage is new to Melee and wasn't present in the earlier Pokémon Stadium series, neither in the Japanese version, the English version, nor the Generation II version. More accurately, it seems to be based on the terrain-changing stadiums featured in the Pokémon League championships from the anime.
  • This is the only Melee Stage in Super Smash Bros. Brawl to have two music tracks available at the same time as the stage itself is first playable, and also the only Melee Stage with three pieces of music attached to it (the third piece is the music from Poké Floats from Super Smash Bros. Melee).
