* Only the southern part of the now-Russian island of {{wp|Sakhalin}} is referenced in the region. In the 1855 {{wp|Treaty of Shimoda}}, Russia and Japan agreed to split the island, with Japan receiving the southern end. While Japan gave Russia full control of Sakhalin in 1875 in exchange for the {{wp|Kuril Islands}}, Japan was again given the southern 2/5ths of the island after the {{wp|Russo-Japanese War}} in 1905, and would retain control until 1945. | * Only the southern part of the now-Russian island of {{wp|Sakhalin}} is referenced in the region.

* Sinnoh has an [[List of locations by index number (Generation IV)|index number location]] programmed into [[Generation IV]] for it, despite the fact that all Sinnoh locations are programmed into the games already. This index location is at #2006, which coincidentally, was the Japanese release of Sinnoh's first games, {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. This does not happen for the other three regions programmed in (i.e. Kanto is 2003, not 1996; Johto is 2004, not 1999; and Hoenn is 2005, not 2002). This data is unused during normal gameplay (i.e. without hacking); Pokémon from Sinnoh traded to a game taking place in Johto display their normal "met at" area, much like Pokémon from [[Kanto]] do when traded to Emerald. | * Sinnoh has an [[List of locations by index number (Generation IV)|index number location]] programmed into [[Generation IV]] for it, despite the fact that all Sinnoh locations are programmed into the games already.
