==Trivia==
*"Pokémon Stadium" was one of the five stages to get a trophy in Super Smash Bros. Melee (the others being '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 animated series.
*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).
