Evie (ChickasaurusGL) 🌺 | The variation in Indigo Plateau signs, inaccessible signs and the unused message (Generation I) @ChickasaurusGL | Uploaded July 2022 | Updated October 2024, 9 hours ago.
Notes: Some of the Indigo Plateau signs say "INDIGO PLATEAU The highest authority POKéMON LEAGUE HQ" and others say "INDIGO PLATEAU The ultimate goal of trainers" POKéMON LEAGUE HQ". Furthermore, you can interact with signs even if it would require walk through walls (signs in between other signs and the non-Rhydon like signs left and right of the signs; bringing up one of these messages). Weird huh? :]
Note though it gets stranger. Of the 'walk through walls only' signs, (on the left and right statues) four 'Rhydon statues' south of the Pokémon League doors are particularly special, because their message is unique; just "INDIGO PLATEAU POKéMON LEAGUE HQ" in a single text box. It's also apparent they were stored differently to the rest? but I don't know more on that at the moment sorry. :( (it isn't read from wMapTextPtr beforehand so it is like a genuine sign) You can observe this in Extra Tricky's PokéWorld map project. ^^ extratricky.com/pokeworld/rb/1#178,273 (however sadly at present rolling the mouse over it doesn't bring up the sign text).
This behaviour was seemingly untouched in Pokémon Yellow (the two "INDIGO PLATEAU POKéMON LEAGUE HQ" signs also remain) but I don't know if anything was changed.
In Japanese Red v1.0, these curiosities apply also, and the messages are:
ここは セキエイ こうげん ポケモンの さいこう きかん ポケモン リーグ ほんぶ
('Highest authority message')
ここは セキエイ こうげん ポケモン トレーナの ちょうてん！ ポケモン リーグ ほんぶ
('Ultimate goal of Trainers message')
セキエイこうげん ポケモンリーグ ほんぶ
(Unused message from those two inaccessible signs, and is essentially the same; Sekiei Plateau Pokémon League Headquarters)
