	'''Faraway place''' is a location placeholder found in the Generation {{gen\|IV}} and {{gen\|V}} games. This placeholder data is used when trading over a Pokémon from another Pokémon game which was captured in a new location not found in the older game.		'''Faraway place''' (Japanese: '''{{tt\|遠い場所\|とおいばしょ}}''' ''faraway place'') is a location placeholder found in the Generation {{gen\|IV}} and {{gen\|V}} games. This placeholder data is used when trading over a Pokémon from another Pokémon game which was captured in a new location not found in the older game.

	For example, a Pokémon met in the [[Distortion World]] that is traded to [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions\|Diamond or Pearl]] will display "faraway place" as its met location. Although it is part of [[Eterna City]], as it was not an existing location in Diamond and Pearl, the [[Galactic Eterna Building]] (T.G. Eterna Bldg) in [[Pokémon Platinum Version\|Platinum]] will provide the same result. Likewise, a Pokémon caught in {{2v2\|HeartGold\|SoulSilver}} in a location that does not exist in {{3v2\|Diamond\|Pearl\|Platinum}} traded to one of these games will also have this placeholder. However, in HeartGold and SoulSilver, if a Pokémon is met<!--hatched--> in a place like the [[Global Terminal]] which also exists in Platinum, its location will still be displayed as "Global Terminal" in Platinum; however, {{ka\|Victory Road\|Kanto Victory Road}} is treated as a separate location to {{si\|Victory Road\|Sinnoh Victory Road}}, so Pokémon caught in Kanto Victory Road will display the obtained location of "Faraway place" in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum.
