Pokémon Stadium 2 is a stage for Super Smash Bros. Brawl, based in (as its name suggests) the Pokémon universe. The basic layout of the stage is essentially unchanged from Super Smash Bros. Melee's Pokémon Stadium, save for a major graphical upgrade, including a huge space between the crowd and the stadium. The name of this stadium might be a reference to the game Pokemon Stadium 2. As with the original Pokémon Stadium, every so often, the stage transforms to represent a certain Pokémon type (see "Elements" below). However, unlike its predecessor, Pokémon will occasionally appear in the background.
It is unconfirmed as to which region exactly the stage is set in, but reasons can be found for each region in the mainstream games.
- Kanto
The original Pokémon Stadium was set in Kanto
- Johto
The N64 game introduced the Johto region's Pokémon to 3D, and may have been set in Johto itself.
- Hoenn
the Generation 3 Battle theme Wild Pokémon Battle! (Ruby/Sapphire) is the only "true" battle theme to appear on the stage. The theme originates from the Hoenn region.
- Sinnoh
The stage stars a number of Sinnoh-only Pokemon. In addition to this, the Brawl stage Spear Pillar originates in Sinnoh.
Comparing to the background (skyscrapers), it may be Saffron City or Celadon City of Kanto, Goldenrod City of Johto, Lilycove city of Hoenn, or the Fight Area of Sinnoh. It may be a mix, if the buildings seen are from various cities/regions.
It may be White City from Pokémon Stadium 2.

Elements
There are four possible stage transformations, each of which represents a particular type from the Pokémon games. While this feature was in the Melee version as well, the types represented in Brawl are all new. Whenever the stage transforms, the layout of its platforms changes, and in some cases the very physics of the game becomes altered as well.
- Electric: Has two conveyer belts near the edges on the stage.
- Flying: Enhances all characters' jumping abilities.
- Ground: Only changes layout. No physical effects.
- Ice: Makes platforms extremely slippery.
Pokémon
A new feature in Pokémon Stadium 2 is the guest Pokémon who appear in the background of altered stages.
- Electric: Electivire and Magnezone
- Flying: Drifloon, Hoppip, and Skarmory.
- Ground: Cubone and Dugtrio.
- Ice: Snorunt and Snover.
Easter egg
In the Stadium's Ice mode, there is a cabin in the middle of the stage. Hidden in the cabin is a poster of a kitten, and what looks like the Wii Hint Cat on the same poster. It is unknown whose kitten is pictured on the poster, but it is rumored to be Sakauri's, the director of the Super Smash Bros and Kirby series
