In the [[bp:Generation IV|Generation IV]] handheld Pokémon games; a 'Mystery Zone' (Japanese: '''なぞのばしょ''' ''Mystery Place'') in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl and Platinum, or (Japanese: '''----''') in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver refers to any of many areas which act as [[placeholder|placeholders]] in between multiple areas normally accessible within the game
The reason that these areas exist is because Generation IV feature 'dynamic' maps, where your location is based on global coordinates, rather than map specific coordinates like in Generation I.{{fact}} The fact that not every 'real' map is linked to another 'real' map means that there are placeholder locations, or 'Mystery Zones' in between. It has also been suggested that the Mystery Zones mark the exact locations in the Underground. {{fact}}
When a player travels through a Mystery Zone he or she is unable to open the menu or even operate the touch screen.
These areas are most commonly seen consisting of either blank space, several rows of trees, water or any combination of these features. Whilst in the Mystery Zone the music for Routes 206, 207, 208 and 211 usually plays; however the Mystery Zone plays a [[Unused music|slightly off-key version]] of these routes. This music corresponds to its own unique variable and is normally never used in game. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, the [[bp:Johto Route 29|Route 29]] theme is played instead.▼
