 The '''Old Chateau''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|森の洋館|もりのようかん}}''' ''Forest Manor'') is an abandoned {{wp|manor house}} near the exit of the [[Eterna Forest]].
-Its Japanese name is the same as that of the [[Old Gateau]], with the difference being that the Old Gateau is instead spelled as {{j|もりのヨウカン}} (with the second word in katakana instead of hiragana). According to [[Nob Ogasawara]], he was able to keep the Old {{wp|Château|Chateau}}/Old Gateau pun in the English versions in part due to him being able to give more input in the localization process from [[Generation III]] onward.<ref>[http://lparchive.org/Pokemon-Blue/code.html Lets Break PKMN Blue Thread Bits.txt] (itself found [http://lparchive.org/Pokemon-Blue/ here])</ref>

+* The Japanese name of the Old Chateau is homophonous with that of the [[Old Gateau]] (Japanese: もりのヨウカン); both terms are pronounced as ''Mori no Yōkan''.
+** The English names of the Old Chateau and Old Gateau were coined by translator [[Nob Ogasawara]], intending to preserve the pun in the original Japanese text.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZ0xJ1x5kMA Interview with Nob Ogasawara by ANMTV.] Posted on YouTube on September 28, 2022.</ref> According to Nob, he was able to keep the Old Chateau/Old Gateau pun in part due to him being able to give more input in the localization process from [[Generation III]] onward.<ref>[http://lparchive.org/Pokemon-Blue/code.html Lets Break PKMN Blue Thread Bits.txt] (itself found [http://lparchive.org/Pokemon-Blue/ here])</ref>
