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, Pokémon 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.
In the Super Smash Bros. series
A stage based on the Pokémon Stadium games, simply titled Pokémon Stadium, was featured in Super Smash Bros. Melee, and also appeared in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as a Melee stage. Super Smash Bros. Brawl also featured the Pokémon Stadium series-based Pokémon Stadium 2.
Trivia
- The Pokémon Stadium series 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).
