Altering Cave: Difference between revisions

AFAIK Emerald was in development prior to FRLG so its inclusion may be a mere development leftover. Also, doesn't the map description seem misplaced here? It says "this island", after all.

The '''Altering Cave''' (Japanese: '''へんげのどうくつ''' ''Altering Cave'') is a mysterious [[cave]] found in {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen|s}}, and {{v2|Emerald}}. Only {{p|Zubat}} can be found in it but it would have been possible for the Altering Cave's [[wild Pokémon]] to be altered by using [[Mystery Gift]] or [[Mystery Gift#Generation III|Mystery Events]]<sup>Jp</sup>{{sup/3|E}} at a Wonder Spot hosted by [[Nintendo]], hence its name. Despite this, no country has ever held an event to make use of this feature.

==Trivia==
==Music==
* All of the exclusive Pokémon can be found in the extended area of the [[Hoenn Safari Zone|Safari Zone]] in {{v2|Emerald}}, except for {{p|Smeargle}}, which is found in [[Artisan Cave]] at the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}. In addition, they are all available in [[Pokémon Colosseum]] as [[Shadow Pokémon]], and were available via this method even prior to the release of {{2v|FireRed|LeafGreen}}.
The background music played inside is ''[[Pokémon FireRed & Pokémon LeafGreen: Super Music Collection|Caves of Mt. Moon]]''. This applies to both {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and {{game|Emerald}}.
** While the Altering Cave's inclusion in FireRed and LeafGreen made sense due to the Mystery Gift-exclusive Pokémon being missing from those games, it is unknown why it was carried over to Emerald, where those Pokémon were normally obtainable elsewhere.
* The music for Altering Cave in Emerald is the same one as in FireRed and LeafGreen, as Pokémon Emerald has all music tracks from FireRed and LeafGreen.
