Faraway place
Faraway place is a location placeholder found in the Generation IV games. This placeholder data is used when trading over a Pokémon from another Pokémon game which was captured in a new location not found in the older game.
Pokémon who are met in locations in Pokémon Platinum which do not exist in Diamond and Pearl, such as the Distortion World, or are named in a way different to how they were in Diamond and Pearl, such as the Galactic Eterna Building (T.G. Eterna Bldg), are displayed as "Faraway place". Likewise, a Pokémon caught in HeartGold and SoulSilver in a location that does not exist in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum traded to one of these games will also have this placeholder. However, in HeartGold and SoulSilver, if a Pokémon is met in a place like the Global Terminal which also exists in Platinum, its location will still be displayed as "Global Terminal" in Platinum; however, Kanto Victory Road is treated as a separate location to Sinnoh Victory Road, so Pokémon caught in Kanto Victory Road will display the obtained location of "Faraway place" in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum.
