This debug mode is apparently based on the one in Platinum, containing references to events such as the Distortion World it seems more of it survives than in that game.

However, the debug menu code is probably lost. Nearly 2,000 text strings can be found talking about changing values for unknown debugging features. Pokétch graphics used in Platinum are all still in the game's files, including the two unused graphics from Diamond and Pearl. The sound file (sound_data.sdat) from Diamond/Pearl is still in the game's files, completely unused. There's also an entire map header dedicated to the Underground, but the map matrix responsible for it just reloads the entire Johto and Kanto overworlds. It's possible that it was going to be remade, as the walking sprites for both the Diamond/Pearl heroes exist with the other underground files however, Platinum's heroes are missing. Most (if not all) of the 2D graphics remain, including the traps, radar pinging, and the mining mini-game. There are quite a few files related to the huge underground complex found in the three earlier Pokémon DS games. The slots had a design overhaul in Japan, but were replaced by a Voltorb Flip minigame for everyone else. Most graphics from the Diamond/Pearl slots game remain, including the Clefairy bonus mode. Several overworld sprites were not reintroduced in HeartGold and SoulSilver but still exist within the game, such as the associated data for the playable male and female characters (as they appeared in Diamond and Pearl) including their 'berry planting' poses and Gym Leaders (with the exception of Maylene and Crasher Wake, who appear in Celadon and Johto Route 47, respectively).

Missing are the female hero's purse and Platinum's white bags. The sprites for the Diamond/Pearl male hero's item pocket selection's upper screen remain. There may be more files of interest in there.įiles originally found in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl have found their way into HeartGold and SoulSilver. In addition, the /pbr/ directory has a lot of Diamond/Pearl/Platinum data. This whole section should be revised to accurately specify what Platinum content is really missing. The sprites of the heroes from Platinum still exist in the game, since cheat codes allow them to appear.
