In Diamond, Pearl and Platinum, the menu cannot be opened, and the touchscreen menu cannot be used; however a registered [[key item]] can be used to refresh the graphics in the area at any time.
In the International and later Japanese versions of Diamond and Pearl, the menu cannot be opened, and the touchscreen menu cannot be used, therefore making it impossible to get Darkrai and Shaymin this way; however a registered [[key item]] can be used to refresh the graphics in the area at any time. The menu cannot be opened in both the International and Japanese versions of Platinum. Only in the early Japanese version of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl can the menu be opened.


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}}.

Occasionally, the game can be tricked into thinking that the player is somewhere else while in the Mystery Zone, such as displaying the [[Turnback Cave]] title and starting to display {{Weather|fog}}, while the floor remains black and the map displays that the player is on {{rt|221|Sinnoh}}.
Occasionally, the game can be tricked into thinking that the player is somewhere else while in the Mystery Zone, such as displaying the [[Turnback Cave]] or [[Floaroma Meadow]] title and starting to display {{Weather|fog}}, while the floor remains black and the map displays that the player is on {{rt|221|Sinnoh}}. This occurs when the player goes outside of the map matrix and the game cannot indicate where the player really is on the world map.
