Why do you say that "Mystery Zone" is intentional?

:Other non-unused areas like the GTS, Pokétch Company, etc. also don't show the location header pop-up when accessed normally but their header matches the actual name (accessing them from the void will trigger the pop-up). The Underground specifically uses the "Mystery Zone" location header, which was changed to the four dashes in Japanese PtHGSS; the Underground uses that too in Platinum.

::I think you're just making an assumption. Why ''would'' they give it a "name" that's different than how they refer to it everywhere else? The more likely case is that [[the Underground]] is simply not supposed to have such a name, and so it gets filled in by dummy data. Sure, you say other places like the GTS have sensible names programmed, but that doesn't mean the Underground follows that pattern; in fact, IMO it ''doesn't'', because the name ''isn't'' sensible, it's entirely mismatched. I also tend to think that, if "Mystery Zone" were really some sort of "intentional" name for the Underground, then they wouldn't have had any reason to change it in Platinum. | |||
::The greater amount of evidence points to "Mystery Zone" just being a placeholder/dummy data/a fallback. 1) It shows up if you wander between the usual towns and routes (between valid areas). 2) It's at index 0. (It's [[List of locations by index number (Generation IV)|also at]] 2012, but I have no idea where that index might show up. But 0 (and therefore "Mystery Zone") is still a common error/dummy point.) 3) It simply ''sounds'' like an appropriate name for dummy data. | |||
::What I'm really wondering is, whatever defines that "title card" text for most maps ("Twinleaf Town" for [[Twinleaf Town]], "GTS"(?) for the [[Global Trade System|GTS]])... What's that value for the Underground's map? If you can't tell me that, I'm ''very'' inclined to believe that that "title card" is just falling through somehow to "Mystery Zone" and it's not really "intentional".
