(view, talk, edit)
A player about to surf through Elite Four Aaron's door on an old Japanese version of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl.

In the older builds for the Japanese versions of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. A player can surf through the Elite Four door south of the map corresponding to Elite Four Aaron's room. Using this somewhat simple glitch players could access several areas previously unknown to most people including the placeholder maps known as the Mystery Zones and even areas normally unobtainable without a special Nintendo event such as Flower Paradise and Newmoon Island.

After surfing through the Elite Four door the player could simply land and walk through the blank areas outside of the map until they reach areas that correspond to normal locations within the game. To reload the map data he or she could then use the Explorer Kit and then restart the game.

However, since the Explorer Kit is required to make good use of this glitch it is recommended that the player takes every step with caution as upon using the Explorer Kit the game will save. Therefore one small mistake could lead to the player becoming trapped underneath or on top of an object.

This glitch was often named the 'Darkrai and Shiemi glitch' (The presumed name for Shaymin before its official English name) as most people who have used this glitch have performed it to catch Darkrai and Shaymin by navigating to Fullmoon island or Flower Paradise.
