"'''!'''" refers to a [[placeholder]] term for when the player attempts to speak with a character with no dialog assigned to them on Pokémon Red, Pokémon Green, Pokémon Blue and Pokémon Yellow. Its purpose is unconfirmed, however it presumably acts as an error handler to prevent the game from [[game freeze|crashing]] otherwise.

This message also appears in the [[bp:Generation III|Generation III]] games when the player tries to examine a berry plant while the plant is changing its phase of growth.
