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.

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 Plushies
Inside every Joy's Hut is a plush that plays a short tune and displays a message when stepped on. Joy has four huts in every region's town with each of them having a plush inside.

In Grassroot Town, the Bulbasaur plush gives the message "You step on a cute plush it lets out a low squeak, what a horrible person you are!" when stepped on.

In Snowbasin Town, the Weavile plush gives the message "You step on a cute plush It lets out a quick squeak, you sure do love hurting innocent plushies." when stepped on.

In Tanren City, the Bonsly plush gives the message "You step on a cute plush It lets out a deep squeak, you should look at yourself in the mirror and judge yourself." when stepped on.

In Greenport Town, the Treecko plush gives the message "You step on a cute plush It lets out a high pitch squeak, you feel your sins crawling on your back." when stepped on.

Da BELLAH
Da BELLAH is a small room only accessible by staff teleportation and the staff command /eat. Every tile in the room is a scripted tile to prevent the player from giving up. The warp to leave the room is the jukebox in the wall.

At the bottom of the room there is also a small doll, that gives the message "The old man's wise words: It's dangerous to go alone." when stepped on.

Gone Fishing
The gone fishing easter egg is located below Island Garden next to a pool of water that says "Gone uhh.. F-fishing! Y-yeah, fishing alright.". Gone fishing is a common phrase used in games to describe the disappearance of an NPC. This sign is intended as joke, written as if the NPC writer was looking for disappearance excuses subverting normal use.

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 message "Hm.. This seems familiar, doesn't it? c:" when stepped on.

Picasso
Near the bridge leading to Tanren Mansion in Tanren is a Smeargle named Picasso with a painting. The Smeargle says "...Art is the lie that enables us to realize the truth. Do you not understand?" when spoken to.

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 message "!!! Shaymin was here. Everyone else is a loser!" should you tread on it.

Signs
There are several signs in PMU with 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 two Cleffa at level 100, located near Mt. Skylift, though a player can be sent here by the staff command /pinkwall. The sign next to the entrance says "Welcome to the home of lost hope and crushed dreams, the Pink Wall.". The Pink Wall was originally located in the tent in Skit's Music Hall in Delite Plaza. Using the command "/giveup" in the Pink Wall 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, and an Area of Effect move, or a method 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.

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

Sorta The Moon
Sorta The Moon is the counterpart to Sorta The Sun. It is a room of the same size as The Sun containing Umbreon that are both normal and shiny. The Moon has no overworld entrance and is only accessible by the staff command /moonyeet.

Triforce
In Grassroot Town there is a flower field in the southwest corner made to resemble the Triforce from The Legend of Zelda. An NPC named "Navi" lingers near it 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 "A waterslide up a waterfall? It must be an easter egg!" appears in chat.

You Shouldn't Have Done That
"You shouldn't have done that..."

-Yatterman "You Shouldn't Have Done That" is a black map with a Wooper drawn in map tiles, four inaccessible Wooper Ocarinas and many Wooper NPCs named "._." (referring to the emote ++(._.)++ used to represent a Wooper face). It was accessed through Yatterman's house, but after the rollback of 2013, you can only be transported here when a staff member "stares into your eternal soul" using the command /._..
