If the Elite Four segment is cleared using 6 Pokémon from a player's Game Boy cartridge—no rentals must be used—then the player is given the option to teach a single move to one of the Pokémon they used that it could learn at a previous level. Until [[Generation III]]'s [[move relearner]], this was the only way to do this.

At the Game Boy Tower, players can play all compatible Pokémon Game Boy games on the Nintendo 64 using the [[Transfer Pak]]. This is similar to Nintendo's {{wp|Super Game Boy}} and [[Game Boy Player]], except it only plays the compatible Pokémon games.

There are two options: Load Max and Load Little. Load Max makes the gameplay smoother, but takes longer to initially load the Game Boy game.

At [[Earl Dervish|Earl]]'s Pokémon Academy, players can learn new battle skills in lectures from Earl, and show them off in various "test" battles, where the object is to defeat an opponent using specific Pokémon that know advantageous moves for the situation at hand. There is also an extensive items, Pokémon, and battling library at the Academy. By inserting the {{v|Crystal}} into a Transfer Pak, the library is expanded with data pertaining to that game.

Four different game modes are available with twelve mini-games.
* Play a Mini-Game: Allows players to choose among the mini-games, for practice. Any slots not used by players will be filled in by the computer. (1-4 Players)
* Mini-Game Champion: Be the first to get a certain amount of coins to become the Champion. Coins are awarded by die and a series of mini-games involving four players (other players or the computer). Coins won, if a game pak is attached to the Transfer Pak, will be transmitted to the attached game's [[Coin Case]]. (1-4 Players)
* 1P Quiz: Test how many Pokémon questions can be answered in 100 seconds. (1 Player)
* Quiz for All: The first person to get the question right gets a point, and the first to get 10 points wins. (1-4 Players)
 
Following is a list of the 12 mini-games. Pokémon from the Game Boy games attached (if any) will be used in these minigames; in this way, special Pokémon that would not be used otherwise may be playable (marked below with an asterisk).

* The game contains information on {{game|Crystal}} despite being released beforehand. However, in Japan, Pokémon Stadium 2 and Pokémon Crystal were released on the same day. Crystal's data is unlocked by using it in a [[Transfer Pak]]. This situation is similar to a later situation between {{g|Colosseum}} and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, with the former containing 3D models of the [[player character]]s from the latter, despite being released several months beforehand in all regions.

* The rental Pokémon in Prime Cup, Free Battle, Poké Cup, and Gym Leader Castle have the same movesets, the latter three having the same stats.

* In Nintendo Power's Official Player's Guide, the term "[[Eeveelution]]" is mentioned, making this the first time an official Nintendo source acknowledges the fan term. The first time it would actually appear in the games, however, would be in [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]].

* Because of the Color Case's ability to transfer items directly between [[Generation I]] games, it is possible to face Sabrina as the second Gym Leader in {{3v2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, as long as a [[drink]] has been transferred in for [[Saffron City]]'s guards.

* This is the only game in which Red appears without using his [[Red's Pikachu (game)|Pikachu]] in battle. It does, however, make a cameo appearance during the end credits, battling with {{ga|Blue}}'s {{p|Eevee}}.
* Two unlockable title screens are available after clearing the Gym Leader Castle, Stadium, and Vs Rival mode. The second title screen features {{p|Meganium}}, {{p|Typhlosion}}, {{p|Feraligatr}}, and the [[Legendary beasts]] in the background. The third title screen features {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}}.
* There is a localization error in international versions of Pokémon Stadium 2 where viewing the Pokédex for a [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Blue]] Game Pak incorrectly displays wild Pokémon locations from [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Pocket Monsters Blue]] instead of [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pocket Monsters Green]].
* Smeargle have varying back and tail colors based on IVs, this is the only game to feature varying Smeargle patterns.
** Similarly, Eggs have slightly varying tints.
