This included more common {{p|Unown}}, as well as a new subplot—completing enough puzzles allows the player to read a secret message left behind by the Unown. It suggests that the Unown were left behind by the ancient civilization that constructed the Ruins of Alph, and that the statues that line the interior were made by those people. | * Changes were made to the [[Ruins of Alph]].

A player could also view Pokémon up for trade from other players, and trade with them.

The battery is replaceable with another one of the same kind (a CR2025), or a {{wp|CR2032 battery|CR2032}}, which is slightly thicker and lasts longer. Since it powers the save file, interrupting the power by removing the battery will cause any current save file to be lost. Third party devices such as the [[GameShark]] may offer ways to backup and restore the save file. | |||
A symptom of a battery running dry is the game's inability to keep track of the time correctly (the [[error message]] '''TIME NOT SET''' may also appear on the title screen). | A symptom of a battery running dry is the game's inability to keep track of the time correctly (the [[error message]] '''TIME NOT SET''' may also appear on the title screen). | ||
