Some areas of the Mystery Zone | When walking through mountainous terrain in the Mystery Zone, the player may become hidden by the terrain. The screen may also appear to zoom in as one enters the zone, due to the fact that the terrain is completely flat. Some areas of the Mystery Zone may cause a [[game freeze]]. Certain areas of the Mystery Zone, particularly those bordering the Sinnoh [[Elite Four]]'s rooms, will lock up the game with a black screen if the player refreshes the graphics there. Saving in one of these areas will cause the game to lock up like this whenever the resulting save file is opened, causing the save file to become unusable. | ||
By traveling from one area to another through the Mystery Zone, the tileset will not be changed even if the new area was supposed to use a different tileset. Currently loaded 3D props, such as buildings, are subject to this as well. Simply refreshing the graphics will solve this. Sinnoh's Mystery Zone has its own, unused tileset which can be seen by entering it from the overworld, refreshing the graphics there, and then returning to the overworld. This tileset can also be seen in a pre-release screenshot of Diamond and Pearl, indicating that it is left over from a [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl beta|beta]] version of the game. The unused tileset remains within the coding of {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. | By traveling from one area to another through the Mystery Zone, the tileset will not be changed even if the new area was supposed to use a different tileset.
