* {{tc|Scientist}} Taylor in the [[Generation I]] games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} claims that the {{wp|Tiksi}} branch of the company is "in {{wp|Russia}}n no-man's-land". In the Japanese versions, where the branch is in Ponaya Tunguska (ポナヤツングスカ) instead, he claims that it is located "deep in Russia". Ponaya Tunguska appears to be a shortened form of the transliterated name of {{wp|Podkamennaya Tunguska (rural locality)|Podkamennaya Tunguska}} in Japanese (ポドカメンナヤツングースカ). | * {{tc|Scientist}} Taylor in the [[Generation I]] games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} claims that the {{wp|Tiksi}} branch of the company is "in {{wp|Russia}}n no-man's-land".

* The elevator on 11F has a bug in {{game2|Red|Green|Blue}} that causes the player to be layered on its doors upon leaving it. Another quirk occurs as result, which disables the elevator mat's left tile if the player enters the elevator without being on the doors and does not move from that tile afterwards, thus preventing him or her from exiting without specifically using the mat's right tile. Both these issues were fixed in {{game|Yellow}}. | * The elevator on 11F has a bug in {{game2|Red|Green|Blue}} that causes the player to be layered on its doors upon leaving it.
