* {{DL|Valuable item|SlowpokeTail}}, an expensive but useless item. It makes a comeback from the original games and can be obtained through modification of the saved game but it has no function. Interestingly, it was made a key item (it was a regular item in the [[Generation II]] games).

====Game Corners====
Due to [[Pokémon controversy#Gambling|legal issues]] related with {{wp|gambling}}, the interior design of both [[Goldenrod Game Corner|Goldenrod]] and [[Celadon Game Corner]]s was completely overhauled in all non-Japanese releases of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. However, the original design is still present within the internal data of the localized releases, despite being severely limited, since most dialogue scripts were removed (with the exception of the [[Coin]] purchase interface, which is still completely functional and translated) and the [[slot machine]] interface pointers are redirected to the [[Voltorb Flip]] interface instead.
