Easter Eggs

Easter eggs are an intentional hidden message, inside joke, or feature that is concealed in the game, and there are quite a few within PMU. Some of them are listed below.

Cognito
There is a hidden area in Tanren City Plaza called "Cognito". This is a pun on being "incognito", meaning undercover. In 2019 a shortcut to the Tanren Undercity was added here.

Cute Plush's
Inside every Joy's Hut is a plush that plays a short tune when stepped on. Currently Joy has four huts with each of them having a plush inside.

In Exbel the Bulbasaur plush that gives the following message when stepped on:

"You step on a cute plush it lets out a low squeak, what a horrible person you are!"

In Winden the Weavile plush that gives the following message when stepped on:

"You step on a cute plush It lets out a quick squeak, you sure do love huting innocent plushies."

In Tanren the Bonsly plush that gives the following message when stepped on:

"You step on a cute plush It lets out a deep squeak, you should look at yourself in the mirror and judge yourself."

In Archford the Treecko plush that gives the following message when stepped on:

"You step on a cute plush It lets out a high pitch squeak, you feel your sins crawling on your back."

Da BELLAH
Da BELLAH is a small room only accessible by staff teleportation and the staff command "/eat". The room has event popups on every tile making the player stop after every step. The warp to leave the room is not one of the many stairs but is the jukebox in the wall.

At the bottom of the room there is also a small doll, that gives the following message when stepped on:

"The old man's wise words: It's dangerous to go alone."

Gone Fishing
Gone fishing is a common phrase used in games to describe the disappearance of an NPC. This gone fishing Easter egg is located below Island Garden next to a pool of water. This sign is intended as joke, written as if the NPC writer was looking for disappearance excuses subverting normal use. The full sign text is:

"The sign reads: Gone uhh.. F-fishing! Y-yeah, fishing alright."

Grass Acronym
South of the entrance to Jailbreak Tunnel is a group of grass patches that spell 'PMU'.

Mudkipz Party
North of the entrance to Sandy Shallows, on the south side of the main Archford island is a hidden area called "so i herd u leik mudkipz!!11!!1". This area references the online meme of the same name and is intended as a joke area.

The entrance to this area is marked by a Mudkip doll, that gives the following message when stepped on:

"Hm.. This seems familiar, doesn't it? c:"

Picasso
Near the entrance of Tanren Mansion is a Smeargle with a painting. Talking to the Smeargle gets you the dialogue:

"...Art is the lie that enables us to realize the truth. Do you not understand?"

Shaymin's Flower
Near the entrance of Mt. Barricade, directly above the Rock Smash area is a patch of flowers that plays a short tune and gives you the following message should you tread on it:

"!!! Shaymin was here. Everyone else is a loser!"

Signs
There are several signs in PMU with little jokes on them.
 * A sign located Northwest of Snowbasin Town has "Sigh...n" written on it.
 * There are two signs located North of Grassroot Town. One points to the other and says, "This is a sign." while the other says "This is not a sign."
 * A sign far north of Tanren is a sign taken out of the Sinnoh main series games and says: "WARNING! 5/10 Pokemon faint from reading signs every day! .... and 1/1 of these signs were pure fabrication."

The Pink Wall
The Pink Wall is a small room containing 18 Clefairy and 2 Cleffa at level 100, with an overworld entrance near Mt. Skylift. The Pink Wall was originally located in the tent in Skit's Music Hall in the Delite Plaza. The Pink Wall has been termed by players as 'PMU hell'. Using the command "/giveup" here fortunately doesn't cause the user to lose items. The location is intended as a troll and has no actual use or reward in clearing the area.

The Clefairy and Cleffa here know the following moves:
 * Light Screen
 * Reflect
 * Moonlight
 * Minimize

Many players have theorized strategies for clearing The Pink Wall. The most effective strategy involves the use of the ability Mold Breaker, an Area of Effect move (AOE), and some ability to bypass Light Screen and Reflect whether that be through family items or the ability Infiltrator. All this considered Clefairy and Cleffa still have the ability Cute Charm which makes clearing The Pink Wall difficult.

The Sun
Sorta The Sun is a small room containing 20 castforms. The Sun has no overworld entrance and is only accessible by the staff command "/yeet". Walking on any tile here inflicts the player with the burn status condition.

Triforce
In Grassroot Town there is a flower field made to resemble the Triforce from The Legend of Zelda. A NPC named "Navi" sits there as another obvious Legend of Zelda reference, specifically from the game Ocarina of Time. Talking to the "Navi" gets you the dialogue:

"Hey listen! This isn't an easter egg or anything!"

Waterslide
Next to Winden Range Passage is a waterfall that works as a waterslide. After sliding down it, a message appears, saying:

"A waterslide in a waterfall? It must be an easter egg!"
