* The message at the bottom floor of the Dotted Hole is possibly a reference to Bill and Celio creating a device that allows trade between FireRed and LeafGreen and Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald by using the Ruby and Sapphire found in the Sevii Islands. | * The message at the bottom floor of the Dotted Hole is possibly a reference to Bill and Celio creating a device that allows trade between FireRed and LeafGreen and Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald by using the Ruby and Sapphire found in the Sevii Islands. | ||
* The pillars and door at the entrance to the Dotted Hole actually have real Braille symbols on them. While the symbols would seemingly be random to someone who knows English Braille (as the symbols on the left pillar, right pillar, and door respectively in English Grade 2 Braille are an A, a closing quotation mark(”), and the word For), in Japanese Braille they're much more obvious: The left pillar is very similar, being the symbol for the A kana (あ); the right pillar's symbol is for the N kana (ん), which is equivalent to "Z" in the English alphabet as the "last" symbol thus mirroring the "A" of the other pillar; and the door's symbol is for the ME kana (め), which is, again, seemingly random. | * The pillars and door at the entrance to the Dotted Hole actually have real Braille symbols on them.

**Though, it should be noted that the door's mark of six dots is likely not intended to have character meaning, but lore meaning. The area description says the Dotted Hole got its name because of the mark of six dots on the door, so despite the dots being a valid Japanese Braille character, this is likely just a coincidence. | ** Though, it should be noted that the door's mark of six dots is likely not intended to have character meaning, but lore meaning.

** Since the A kana (あ) and the N kana (ん) are the first and last kanas in Japanese braille, it may have been intentional for the [[Remake|remakes]] of Ruby and Sapphire to be named {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} as Alpha (Α) and Omega (Ω) are the first and last letters in the Greek alphabet. | |||
