The term 'SPECIAL' is the nameappears for locations with an [[identifier]] of 0 on the Pokégear's Town Map section in Pokémon Gold, Pokémon Silver and Pokémon Crystal. ItIn normal gameplay, although unnoticeable, it is presumablyused internally by the game as a [[placeholder]]special andcase notfor areas such as the second floor of a purePokémon coincidenceCenter (as supportedthese bykinds theof factmaps thatare only defined once); the samegame locationswill areuse laterthis referredidentifier to asrefer "[[Specialto Area]]"the onlast Pokémonlocation Ruby,the Pokémonplayer Sapphirevisited, and Pokémonthus Emeralduse andthat much laterlocation as onea ofbasis manyfor variantsthe ofnew thePokégear [[Mysterymap Zone]]sarea onthat Pokémonthe Diamondplayer andis Pearlin.
Another term, "[[Special Area]]" exists on Pokémon Ruby, Pokémon Sapphire and Pokémon Emerald and perhaps shares the same purpose, although since it is placed in between real locations with an identifier of C4 (196), it may instead, exist for a similar purpose to the many variantions of [[Mystery Zone]]s within the [[bp:fourth generation|fourth generation]] handheld Pokémon games.
The term is also likely to have been left behind from Pokémon Red, Pokémon Blue and Pokémon Yellow as Pokémon Gold and Silver originally used the same engine, as was the case with the message "[[Unused dialogue|You missed the Pokémon]]".
