While the stage is not specifically based on anything from the ''{{uv|Pokémon}}'' video game series, it may be a general representation of a {{s|bulbapedia|Gym}}. A possible specific origin could be the ''[[bulbapedia:Pokémon Stadium series|Pokémon Stadium]]'' games, from which the stage's name possibly comes from and whose arenas in-game feature a [[Poké Ball]] logo in the middle, a crowd watching the battle and, in the case of Gym Leader battles, type-related aesthetics. However, the arenas in the ''Pokémon Stadium'' games, including the type-themed ones, do not affect the battles in any way. | While the stage is not specifically based on anything from the ''{{uv|Pokémon}}'' video game series, it may be a general representation of a {{s|bulbapedia|Gym}}.

The stage is usually banned, as it has too many similarities to Pokémon Stadium 2 when hazards are turned off. Some regions, however, have Pokémon Stadium as a legal starter over Pokémon Stadium 2, most notably Chicago and, at one point, [[Maryland/Virginia]]. This is mainly due to some players believing the stage is a more reasonable size when compared to Pokémon Stadium 2. Opponents of this stage, on the other hand, cite several inconsistencies that make the stage more "janky" and therefore ill-suited for competitive play compared to its ''Brawl'' successor; most notably, the stage suffers from bugs that can cause players to clip inside the main platform of the stage, and prior to version {{SSBU|12.0.0}}, the right platform featured an invisible slant that made it impossible to perform [[lock]]s over it. The stage's camera also causes the visibility of the edges to be obstructed. | The stage is usually banned, as it has too many similarities to Pokémon Stadium 2 when hazards are turned off.

With the release of [[Small Battlefield]], Pokémon Stadium generally fell even more out of favor, as Small Battlefield could provide a significantly more compact alternative to Pokémon Stadium 2, and the need of a middle ground was not felt much by most of the community. As a result of all these factors, Pokémon Stadium is currently banned in almost every region worldwide. | With the release of [[Small Battlefield]], Pokémon Stadium generally fell even more out of favor, as Small Battlefield could provide a significantly more compact alternative to Pokémon Stadium 2, and the need of a middle ground was not felt much by most of the community.

*In either a [[Stock]] or [[Stamina Mode|Stamina]] match, if a player slot is skipped, the jumbotron sometimes displays the wrong player number if a player loses their last life. For example, in a 3-player Smash involving P2, P3 and P4, if Player 2 gets defeated, the jumbotron displays "Player 1 Defeated" despite player 1 not being present. | *In either a [[Stock]] or [[Stamina Mode|Stamina]] match, if a player slot is skipped, the jumbotron sometimes displays the wrong player number if a player loses their last life.

*On the left side of the background, a building with the word "POCKET" (the O being replaced with a Poké Ball) and a screen can be seen. This is likely based on the Game Boy Tower, a location that acts as a special built-in emulator (which is actually a modified version of the Super Game Boy 2's BIOS) used to play the ''Pokémon'' games inserted into the player's Transfer Pak in ''Pokémon Stadium'' and ''Pokémon Stadium 2''. Additionally, the "POCKET" on the building is a reference to the ''Pokémon'' series' Japanese name, ''Pocket Monsters''. | *On the left side of the background, a building with the word "POCKET" (the O being replaced with a Poké Ball) and a screen can be seen.
