The Old Chateau (Japanese: もりのようかん Forest Manor) is an abandoned manor house near the exit of Eterna Forest. Its Japanese name is the same as that of the Old Gateau, with the difference being that the Old Gateau is instead spelled as もりのヨウカン; this alludes to the fact that it is the only place where it can be found in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum. According to Nob Ogasawara, he was able to keep the Old Chateau-Old Gateau pun in the English versions in part due to him only being able to give more input in the localization process from Generation III onwards.[1]
Geography
The Old Chateau is located deep within Eterna Forest, near the Route 205 entry point from Eterna City, and is only accessible by HM01 (Cut) and after obtaining the Forest Badge. The manor is known to be haunted, scaring many citizens of Eterna City, especially Gardenia, who sometimes appears before it cowering in fear at the urban legends related to it.
Upon entering, the Old Chateau appears to be old and abandoned. The first room encountered is the foyer, which has two flights of stairs both leading to the second floor. Between the foyer's staircases is a door to the dining hall, where a long wooden table dominates the room. The kitchen area is found to the left side of the table. Just outside of the room stands a strange statue with an ominous aura that appears to be glaring.
On the second floor, left and right of the main room extends a library, where old books are crammed into bookshelves. There are also four bedrooms that can be accessed by traveling further up to the first floor. In one of the rooms there is a TV that is on and displaying a plain, white, flickering screen. The TV is inhabited by a wild Rotom, which comes out exclusively at night to initiate a battle (in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, this requires entering the Hall of Fame and obtaining the National Pokédex). There is also a portrait in another room; glowing red eyes appear on it that will stare and seem to follow the player.
Ghosts
Sometimes, what seem to be the ghosts of a little girl and a butler appear in a bedroom on the second floor and in the dining hall, respectively. They cannot be interacted with.
- The little girl appears when the player enters the fourth room, which is next to the bedroom where she "appears". She seems to "walk" through the warpless door and is never seen on the other side; this is because the game loads different maps with a specific set of rooms depending on the room entered and the little girl is only programmed to "appear" in that particular map.
- The butler appears to be sitting at the other side of the table in the dinning room. The player walks forward and he starts to "walk" to the left side of the room, leaving the game window. He never appears on the other side. Unlike the little girl, the butler does not use a walking motion. He instead appears to "float" just off the ground.
Notebook
In Pokémon Platinum, one of the books on the floor in the library is just barely readable. It says:
It's an old notebook. There's something scrawled in it...
Som...hing so pecu...r shou... make off ...ith the mot...
The rest of the pages are blank.
It most likely says: "Something so peculiar should make off with the motor." Since Charon is credited for discovering Rotom, this may be a hint that the owner of the Old Chateau used to be him.
