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
