'''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''' is a location placeholder found in the Generation {{gen|IV}} and {{gen|V}} games.

For example, a Pokémon met in the [[Distortion World]] that is traded to Diamond or Pearl will display "faraway place" as its met location. | 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. | ||
This also applies to Pokémon traded between {{2v2|Black|White}} and {{2v2|Black 2|White 2}}. Any Pokémon found in new areas such as [[Aspertia City]] or the [[Castelia Sewers]] will to be regarded as being met in a "faraway place" in Black and White. However, Pokémon met at the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] are treated as having been met in the [[Cold Storage]] in Black and White, and vice versa. | This also applies to Pokémon traded between {{2v2|Black|White}} and {{2v2|Black 2|White 2}}.
