No, it's a full RPG actually, as full as Mario RPG anyway (no overworld). The stadium mode is just a vs mode on the main menu for fighting it out against another human, and NOTHING else, at all. Half is an understatement. The game isn't at all meant to be the next stadium game, but the first full pokemon RPG on GCN.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
