Trivia

  • Flash is used to open the Ancient Tomb, Registeel's cave, in Pokémon Emerald.
  • Flash is the only move so far that has been converted from an HM into a TM. It has never been absolutely required to advance gameplay (as darkened caves are still navigable without the move), while the only dark caves that must be passed through to continue the storyline occur during the Kanto and Hoenn stories, during Generation I and Generation III.
    • As Flash is not completely required, it is similar to Defog, which replaced it in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum. The most notable difference is that, while both foggy areas and dark caves can be more difficult to navigate, a dark area has no affect on the battles that take place there, whilst fog does have an effect during battle.
