The Pokémon Stadium series (Japanese: ポケスタシリーズ PokéSta series[1], or 「ポケモンスタジアム」シリーズ "Pokémon Stadium" series[2]) is a side 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 Leaders, Elite Four, and 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.

Trivia

• Nicknamed Pokémon in these games display slightly altered colorations when used in battle. Most opposing Trainers use nicknamed Pokémon to showcase this effect, which NPCs do not typically use otherwise.
  • The hue shifts are dependent on the Pokémon's nickname, the Original Trainer's name, and the Original Trainer's Trainer ID number, resulting in different hues between Pokémon of the same species with identical nicknames.[3]
• These were the first games to color-code types. The colors used in the Pokémon Stadium series were different than those that were introduced during Generation III in the core series Pokémon games (for example, Fire was red, not orange).
• In these games, sleep had a maximum duration of 3 turns, as opposed to the handheld games, which had a maximum sleep duration of 7 turns.
