In Pokémon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum a 'Mystery Zone' Japanese: '''なぞのばしょ''' ''Mystery Place'') refers to any of several hundred areas which act as [[placeholder]]s in between multiple areas normally accessible within the game. These maps also correspond with tunnels in the underground which are normally unaccesible without the player moving around first.
In Pokémon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum a 'Mystery Zone' (Japanese: '''なぞのばしょ''' ''Mystery Place'') refers to any of several hundred areas which act as [[placeholder|placeholders]] in between multiple areas normally accessible within the game. These maps also correspond with tunnels in the underground which are normally unaccesible without the player moving around first.


Essentially the Mystery Zones act as error handlers for the undefined areas surrounding real routes or as fillers when considering Sinnoh as two large maps being the normal areas and the underground. When a player travels through a Mystery Zone they are unable to open the menu or even operate the touch screen; therefore it could be suggested a blank map is used to ensure that the player cannot open the menu before they even proceed past the title screen.
