In this area, there are many Pokémon NPCs, through which it is possible to test various game functions. The ambient graphics lack details and use few colors (and therefore are nearly Game Boy Color compatible) and are completely unused during normal play. The cloud shadows moving on the map and the background music are the same as the ones used for Pokémon Square. Despite the presence of many roads and doors, there are no warp points programmed.
Below are described the functions of the present NPCs, approximately from left to right and from top to bottom:
Two Mailboxes
Function like the Team Base mailbox and the Mission Board.
Three Pelipper
The first two function like the two Pelipper in the Pelipper Post Office. The third does not display any dialog box and will freeze the game after being talked to 10 times.
Azumarill
This NPC allows the player to jump to specific story phases, from which the game will continue normally.

- Effect 3: Shows an unused animation that appears to be anger steam in red and white pixels, then the game freezes.
- Effect 4: Shows an earthquake animation. This is longer and stronger than those used during story cutscenes.
Golem
Gives a red "Unregistered dialog script" line. However, in the Japanese version, it has actual dialogue:
| Text | Translation |
|---|---|
ゴローニャ「よし。 ？？？を あげよう。 |
Golem: Alright. I'll give you the ？？？. |
[Leader's name]は タルを のぞきこんだ！ |
[Leader's name] peered into the barrel! |
なんと ばくれつのタネを みつけた！ |
You found a Blast Seed! |
ゴローニャ「しばらくしてから またきてよ。 |
Golem: Come back after a while. |
The first three texts are displayed when Golem is talked to the first time, then it will always show the fourth dialogue.
Octillery
Has a bunch of mail falling all around it in a loop, which is an animation used during the Main 9A-1 cutscene. When talked to, it gives a red "Unregistered dialog script" line. However, in the Japanese version, it instead shows a huge list of 231 elements, entitled "ちじょう" (Ground), subdivided into 24 pages.
| US/Australia | Japan |
|---|---|
 |
 |
It seems to be a list of overworld (non-Dungeon) locations. When selecting any of these with either the A or the B button, the list simply closes. This could be a removed debug function.

T00P01 |
Debug Square |
Notes:
- ↑ Oddly, this is the name of the dungeon where Groudon is found, instead of its Friend Area.
- ↑ Duplicate Friend Area name from H06P05. Considering the placement, this likely refers to the cutscene area.
- ↑ In the final game, spelled おおきいなる きょうこく.
- ↑ Considering the placement, this should be Silver Trench, but it's instead a duplicate of Lightning Field.
- ↑ Misspelled, using り (ri) instead of る (ru).
- ↑ In the final game, the う (u) is replaced with お (o).
Jirachi
Functions like Luminous Cave. During the dialogue, the playing music will be replaced by the Luminous Cave theme.
Others
All of the other NPCs will function normally as the ones in Pokémon Square.
