## **Stage Info**

A stadium where battles between only the very best Pokemon Trainers take place. Many Pokemon Stadiums have been built over the years with some featuring simple terrains or unique obstacles that Pokemon have to fight around. This particular stadium was designed to change forms on the fly featuring conveyor belts, windmills, mounds of dirt, and ice.

## **Stage Layout**

Pokemon Stadium 2 features a very similar starting layout to the original Pokemon Stadium stage from Melee. It features a long flat platform with two smaller platforms above it on its left and right sides. A huge audience can be seen in the background as well as a large jumbotron display which leads into the stadium design. This jumbotron can display a few different things as the match goes on including a close up view of one of the fighters, the time remaining in the match, or the standings for each fighter.

Like the original Pokemon Stadium, this stage can transform into 4 different designs each one based on a different Pokemon type. When the stage is about to transform a symbol representing that type will display on the jumbotron warning the players of what is about to happen. The transformation is randomly selected each time and the stage can even utilize the same transformation back to back. However the stage must always revert back to its base design before it transforms again.

* **Electric-type:** In its Electric form the stage will feature two raised conveyor belts on its left and right sides. These conveyor belts move towards to the edge of the stage meaning that if anything stands still on them they’ll end up falling below the stage. Three additional platforms will appear above the stage. Two of them will be in the middle with one a short distance above the other, and the third platform will appear on either the left or right side of the stage and be positioned height-wise in-between the other two platforms. Electivire and Magnezone can be found in the background of this transformation.

* **Flying-type:** In its Flying form the stage will have a slightly raised floor and will feature windmills in its background which cause an updraft over the stage. This updraft causes a unique affect on the stage where fighters who are above the actual stage itself will have their gravity lightened. This means they can jump higher, stay in the air longer, and be knocked away easier than before. However this affect only covers the area above the actual stage. Fighters to the side of the stage are affected by the game’s normal amount of gravity. Drifloon, Hoppip, and Skarmory can be found in the background of this transformation.

* **Ground-type:** In its Ground form the stage will have a large mound of dirt on the left side which can be fought on as well as a hut built into a tall rock on the right. The hut features two platforms once above the other with the higher platform being flat and short, and the lower platform being longer and curved. Cubone and Dugtrio can be found in the background of this transformation as well as a Helix Fossil embedded in the side of the hut.

* **Ice-type:** In its Ice form the stage will have all of its platforms and surfaces affected by slippery ice physics. A hut can be found in the background along with two icy platforms which slope inwards slightly. Snover can be found in the background of this transformation and sometimes you can find a Snorunt inside of the hut.
