Alternate Pokemon Colors - Did you ever notice how
some of the Pokémon that appear in Pokémon Stadium have
different colors? The secret to the color variations lie
in the names you give your Pokémon as well as your
trainer ID number (assigned to you in Pokemon Blue, Red
or Yellow, whenever you start a new game). While there
are a few secret names that change only certain
Pokemon's colors, there are a few naming tricks that
result in different color variations. For example:
Use only lower caps (ie: poliwhirl)
Reverse the syllables (ie: DRILLBEE)
Abridge the names (ie: Pika)
For a more detailed listing of color differences, keep
an eye out for IGNGuide's Pokemon Stadium Guide.
Battle Mewtwo - To unlock a hidden 6-on-1 battle with
Mewtwo, beat the Gym Leader Castle and get trophies in
all 10 tournaments in the Stadium Mode. The map screen
will now turn to a night scene and a bonus tournament
will open up in which you battle against the psychic
super-Pokemon, Mewtwo (#150). Once you beat Mewtwo, you
unlock a new game mode.
Bonus Stickers - Once you have beaten both the R-1
mode (including Mewtwo) and the R-2 Mode (including
Mewtwo), you are given a set of bonus stickers that you
can access in the Gallery Mode. When you're on the
Gallery main screen, press and hold L and R and move the
Cursor to Print. If you keep the buttons pressed, the
Print option will now change to Bonus. You will now have
access to a set of 16 bonus "wallpaper" stickers from
all the different modes that you can print out at "Snap"
Stations.
GB Speed Upgrades - There are two secret speed
upgrades to the GB Tower Game Boy emulator that let you
play Pokemon Red, Blue and Yellow at much higher
speeds:
Doduo Mode: Beat the Poké Cup. Once you have won all the
Poké Cup tournaments, the GB Tower changes into Doduo GB
Tower and a Doduo sticker appears on the Game Boy. The
Doduo upgrade doubles the speed of the game play when
playing the Game Boy game on your N64.
Dodrio Mode: Play the Game Boy games at hyper speed with
this alternate speed settings. To get it, you need to
beat the Prime Cup (after you have already beaten the
Poké Cup). You can switch between the different GB Tower
speed settings during gameplay by pressing C Right.
Get Amnesia Psyduck - Have you ever wondered how you
can get the elusive Amnesia technique? Well, it's hidden
deep in Pokemon Stadium. Unlocking it will take a while,
but it's definitely worth it. You have to register ALL
151 Pokemon in the Hall of Fame. Whenever you beat a
tournament (or Gym Leader Castle), your six Pokemon are
entered into the Hall of Fame. It doesn't matter whether
you use rental Pokemon or your own, but you can't have
any gaps. Once you've filled it all up, you are awarded
a free Psyduck bonus Pokemon that knows the Amnesia
technique.
Get Surfing Pikachu - Yes, it's true: Surfing Pikachu
is hidden in Pokémon Stadium. To teach your Pikachu Surf
(a technique it can normally not learn), you need to
first unlock the R-2 (Round 2) mode. Then do the
following:
Enter the R-2 Prime Cup's Master Ball division (you have
to beat the first three divisions first).
Assemble a team that contains a Pikachu that does not
yet know Surf. You HAVE to use a Pikachu from your Game
Boy game. You cannot unlock Surfing Pikachu using a
Rental Pokémon. Do not register your team! Pick it
directly from your Game Boy cartridge. You now have to
beat the Prime Cup's Master Ball division using a
three-Pokémon team that always contains Pikachu. Pikachu
has to be in every one of the eight battles. You are not
allowed to use any continues. If you do, you won't get
Surfing Pikachu. Once you have fulfilled all the above
conditions and beaten the cup, you are shown an award
screen with Pikachu standing on a surfboard. From here
on, Pikachu can use the Surf technique both in battle
and during gameplay (Game Boy versions only). If you've
got Pokémon Yellow, you can now also access the hidden
Surfing Pikachu mini-game. Simply go to the small hut on
the northern beach of Route 19.
Kids Club: Hyper CPU Difficulty - To unlock this
hidden difficulty setting, select a single-player game
against three CPU-controlled opponents. You need to win
the "Who's the Best?" challenge five times in a row on
HARD difficulty. This will open up the new HYPER
difficulty setting for the CPU players.
New Title Screen - Beat both the Gym Leader Castle and
Stadium modes to change the title screen (in addition to
the map mode). The new title shows depict Pikachu,
Blastoise, Charizard, Venusaur and Mewtwo.
Open Up R-2 Mode - To get the secret R-2 Mode (as well
as a brand-new title screen) defeat Mewtwo after you
have beaten the Stadium Mode and Gym Leader Castle Mode.
You will now see the final credits sequence, which will
unlock the harder R-2 Mode and all new battles. You can
toggle between R-2 and Regular Mode at the start-up
screen by pressing C-Right.
Rent Mew - Many of you have asked how you can get all
151 trophies in the Hall of Fame if you don't own the
elusive bonus Pokemon Mew. No problem: Once you open up
R-2 Mode, you can rent and use Mew in the Prime Cup
(sorry -- you still can't get Mew in Gym Leader Castle
and Free Battle).
Talking Pikachu - For a talking Pikachu, you need to
upload one from Pokemon Yellow. Rental, Red, and Blue
versions will just be silent.
Win Bonus Pokémon - Each time you beat the Gym Leader
Castle (including the Final Four and your Rival), you
will receive one of eight semi-rare to rare Pokémon.
These Pokémon are awarded at random, so it's likely that
you'll need to beat the Gym Leader Castle again and
again to get the ones you want. Note that once you have
beaten the Castle, you only need to defeat the Final
Four and your Rival again if you want to win more
Pokémon.
Here are the Pokémon you can win:
#001 Bulbasaur
#004 Charmander
#007 Squirtle
#106 Hitmonlee
#107 Hitmonchan
#133 Eevee
#138 Omanyte
#140 Kabuto
