Trend
A trendy phrase is a saying introduced in Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald Versions, with altered usage in the Generation IV games Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum Versions. The purpose of this varies between generations.
Generation III
In Generation III, the trendy phrase is selected by the player outside Dewford Hall in Dewford Town. The phrase quickly spreads around the Hoenn region, and determines which six of the tiles in Route 119 Feebas will appear in.
Generation IV
In Generation IV, a trendy phrase is an additional phrase which can be used in interviews with non-player characters. It appears in the "Tough Words" category. There are thirty-two different possibilities, all obtainable from an elderly man in the north-easternmost house in Snowpoint City. Only one may be obtained daily, and receiving a new trendy phrase will not alter any game mechanics. They typically refer to science, business and the arts.
