In Pokémon Stadium, Pokémon Stadium 2, as well as the Japanese Pokémon Stadium, nicknaming a Pokémon causes it to be recolored. This feature has not been included in any later games. Possibly to emphasize this color change effect, most NPC Trainers' Pokémon have nicknames in this series.

A Pokémon's coloration is determined by the 8-bit sum, modulo 256, of the bytes corresponding to its nickname as well as its Original Trainer's name and ID number. Note that the values used for both pieces of user-entered text are in the ISO 8859-1 or EUC-JP character encodings used by the Pokémon Stadium games, rather than the proprietary encoding used by the handheld games. The resulting sum (Value) is mapped to a hue rotation bounded by a minimum (Min) and maximum (Max) hue rotation programmed for each Pokémon species using the following equation:

$Hue=\left(\frac{Value\times (Max-Min)}{255}\right)+Min$

This effect is applied like normal on any typographical characters that aren't available to the player through text entry. These characters are all converted to the equivalent bytes like any other. This can be seen with several NPC Trainers including Rockets whose nicknames include numbers, Twins, whose names are separated by an ampersand (&), and various Trainers in other language versions of the games whose name includes an accent mark.

Despite having a range defined across all 360 possible hue rotation values, Unown is the major exception to this mechanic as its palette is completely grayscale which is unaffected by hue rotation. All Unown therefore have identical coloring. This includes Shiny Unown who have no additional special handling to make up for this.
