Easter Eggs

Easter eggs are an intentional hidden message, inside joke, or feature that is concealed in the game.

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. Cognito can be found on the left side of the cliif in Tanren City, to the right of Tanren's Joy hut.

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

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.

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 with a painting.

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 southwest of Snowbasin Town in the Tri-Crystal Point reads"People die when they are killed.".
 * There are two signs located north of Grassroot Town near Honeydrop Meadow. 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 16 Clefairy and four Cleffa at level 100, located in the pre-2012 Grassroot Town replica. Though a player can be sent here by staff command as well. 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 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, as well as status immunity to protect from Cute Charm.

Triforce
In Grassroot Town there is a flower field in the southwest corner made to resemble the Triforce from . An NPC Masquerain named "Navi" lingers near it there as another obvious Legend of Zelda reference, specifically from the game . Talking to the Navi gets you the dialogue "Hey listen! This isn't an easter egg or anything!".

Waterslide
East of Winden Range (Winden Pass' entrance) is a waterfall that works as a waterslide. After sliding down it, the message "A waterslide up a waterfall? Must be an Easter Egg!" appears in chat. The waterfall can be seen, but not accessed from next to Sea Crevice as well.

Razed Fields
"Razed Fields" or "Ze Aftermath" is a joke dungeon found in the pre-2012 Grassroot Town replica alongside The Pink Wall. There's no reward on completion and it's full of level 100 Gyarados, some of which are shiny.

Staff Command Only
These locations can only be accessed by players through a staff command being used on them.

Banana Savannah
Banana Savannah is a small room containing different types of bananas under blocked off savannah trees. Banana Savannah has no overworld entrance and is only accessible by the staff command.

Da BELLAH
Da BELLAH is a small room only accessible by staff teleportation and the staff command. 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.

Sorta The Sun
Sorta The Sun is a small room containing 20 Castform. Walking on any tile here inflicts the player with.
