Leftover dialogue within the game's programming code provides further details on how the game developers might have debugged the game. For instance, such text refers to features such as a ''Sound test'' and an option to modify the {{wp|real-time clock}} (RTC).<ref>[http://stuff.veekun.com/pokemon-platinum-text-dump-en.bz2 veekun's English Pokémon Platinum text dump]</ref>
