==Trivia==
* Sootopolis's Japanese motto is {{tt|れきしが ねむる しんぴの まち|Rekishi ga nemuru shinpi no machi}} ''"The mystical city where history slumbers"''.
* The background music used in this city is a remix of music from {{g|Pinball}}, specifically that which plays during the "Name Entry" screen.
* In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, if the {{player}} goes to the highest house on the right side of the city (the side with the [[Pokémon Center]]), stands on the stairs outside, and hits the "left" direction on the d-pad, it is possible to use a [[glitch]] to walk on part of the rock wall. This was corrected in {{game|Emerald}}.
* This is the only city in the Pokémon world which requires the use of {{m|Dive}} in order to be reached for the first time.
* [[Kiri]] was named after [[Junichi Masuda]]'s daughter, born right before the Japanese release of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}.<ref>[http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir/?p=96 Director's Column] (Japanese)</ref>
