However, not all '''placeholders''' are inaccessible because sometimes they can be useful for a developer to refer to data which the player has not 'unlocked' or 'encountered' yet. For example in the Gameboy Advance versions of the Pokémon games, even though a picture of a white question mark within a black circle (which is surrounded by a larger white circle) is used to account for several thousand Glitch Pokémon named ?????????? (which Glitch City Laboratories refer to as 'Decamarks' in normal gameplay, the game also uses this sprite to account for up to 386 unseen Pokémon in the Pokédex in order to occupy those in the Pokédex which the player hasn't seen yet.
