The '''Hall of Origin''' (Japanese: '''はじまりの{{tt|間|ま}}''' ''Hall of Origin'') is where the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Arceus}} resides.

The area originally appeared in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, but is only legitimately accessible in the remakes, [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]]. It is located above the [[Spear Pillar]], and can be reached after entering the [[Hall of Fame]] and obtaining the [[National Pokédex]] by returning to the Spear Pillar with the [[Azure Flute]]. In [[Generation IV]], the Azure Flute was an [[event item]] that was never distributed, but it can be obtained through regular gameplay in [[Generation VIII]].

In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], the Hall of Origin can be accessed during and after [[Task#Missions|Mission]] 28 "The Deified Pokémon". It is not labeled as the Hall of Origin in this game, and is instead treated as part of the [[Temple of Sinnoh]].

==In the core series==
===Generation IV===
In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, when the player returns to the [[Spear Pillar]] with the [[Azure Flute]], they will be asked to blow into it every time they step one tile north from the entrance until they catch {{p|Arceus}}. Upon doing so, a glowing staircase will appear, leading to an elevated glass platform high above the Spear Pillar, where Arceus awaits the player's challenge. The camera will also broadly {{wp|Tilt (camera)|tilt}} overhead and zoom out, giving the player a unique view of the area below as they ascend the staircase. Stepping onto the edge of the glass platform will automatically initiate the encounter sequence and {{pkmn|battle}}. Should Arceus be defeated rather than caught, it will "disappear from sight" but the Azure Flute can be reused to summon it again.

In terms of game mechanics, when the player accesses the Hall of Origin by blowing the Azure Flute, they are actually no longer on the Spear Pillar but rather in a completely separate location, as evidenced by the screen fade-out transition and the change in location header. That is, the game does not place stair tiles onto the Spear Pillar map, but rather warps the player to a new map containing the stairs where the surrounding area looks identical to the Spear Pillar, exactly down to the cave opening that still leads into the [[Mt. Coronet|mountain interior]]. This dispels a rumor that [[cheating]] to reach the Hall of Origin would trap the player on the elevated glass platform without the stairs to lead back down.

Like the Spear Pillar, the Hall of Origin is an internal area separate from [[Mount Coronet]], so the [[Escape Rope]] as well as {{m|Fly}} cannot be used to leave the location. However, like the Spear Pillar, it is within the range of Mount Coronet's [[special magnetic field]] and so {{p|Magneton}} and {{p|Nosepass}} will both [[Evolution|evolve]] here if [[Level|leveled up]].

===Generation VIII===
In [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]], the location can also be visited legitimately. To obtain the Azure Flute, the player must have [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] save data with all the {{DL|Task|Missions}} completed, the game must be updated to Version 1.3.0 or later, and the [[National Pokédex]] needs to be unlocked. Once these conditions have been fulfilled, the Azure Flute will appear in the [[Player's house|player's room]] in [[Twinleaf Town]]. Taking the flute to the Spear Pillar and playing it there will grant access to the Hall of Origin. Although the player must have already obtained an Arceus in Pokémon Legends: Arceus to fulfill the requirements, this Arceus can be {{Shiny}} and is caught in a [[Poké Ball]] of the player's choice.

In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, the Hall of Origin can be accessed legitimately. After defeating [[Volo]] and {{p|Giratina}} in Mission 27: "Seeking the Remaining Plates", the player will obtain the final [[Plate]] as well as the Azure Flute. The player then has the opportunity to play the Azure Flute on the [[Temple of Sinnoh]]'s dais at any time. However, the stairs to the Hall of Origin will not appear until the player has caught every non-Mythical Pokémon in [[Hisui]]. The player will also receive a message from Arceus on the [[Arc Phone]] if they attempt to do so, repeating the message, "Seek out all Pokémon."

Once the player has caught all non-Mythical Pokémon in Hisui, playing the flute will cause a glowing stairway to appear on the north side of the temple, which the player will automatically climb. After climbing the stairs, the player will find themselves in the Hall of Origin, which has a completely different design than in [[Generation IV]]. Arceus will appear behind the player, transform their Arc Phone into the [[Mysterious Balm]], and immediately challenge them. After Arceus is defeated, it will grant a piece of itself to the player, along with the [[Legend Plate]]. Arceus will be in a {{hi|Poké Ball}} and will not be Shiny. The Hall of Origin can be revisited at any point through Temple of Sinnoh in order to have a rematch with Arceus. The Hall of Origin can also be visited for Arceus's [[Eternal Battle Reverie]] challenge by going to sleep at [[Jubilife Village]].

==Music==
The theme of the Hall of Origin is a remix of the last twenty-one seconds of [[Pokémon Diamond & Pokémon Pearl: Super Music Collection|''Opening Movie'']], while the first notes of the same track are used for the [[Azure Flute]] theme.

===={{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}====
Although not by name, the Hall of Origin was mentioned by [[Archer]] in ''[[PS450|With a Little Help From Hitmonchan]]''. When {{adv|Arceus}} appeared in front of the four {{tc|Executive}}s and {{adv|Crystal}} on {{rt|38|Johto}}, Archer explained that [[Team Rocket]] had first found and awakened the Alpha Pokémon "in [[Sinnoh|a far-off land]] at the end of a long road, which seemed to continue on and on up into the heavens," obviously describing the Hall of Origin. He also revealed that Arceus had come to [[Johto]] due to all of its [[Plate]]s being currently located in the said [[region]].

==Trivia==
* If the [[Sinjoh Ruins]] event has already been activated with an {{pkmn2|event}} {{p|Arceus}}, another Arceus caught in the Hall of Origin may be used to go back to the Sinjoh Ruins and choose one of the two Pokémon that were not chosen previously. The reverse order is also possible. There is no way to choose the third Pokémon.
* Two versions of the Hall of Origin map exist in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}: one is the real location while the other is a "fake" copy. The "fake" Hall of Origin uses ''[[Pokémon Diamond & Pokémon Pearl: Super Music Collection|Spear Pillar]]'' as its theme and can be accessed through the [[Tweaking|void glitch]] using "Stickyman's Spear Pillar Hall of Origin" method<ref>[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1r02og1raAV1F8aCj6aIPT0z7J7anWrMqFMJ-yEUm4to/edit?pli=1 Void Knowledge Archive, by the members of HallofOrigin - Google Drive]</ref>, named after its discoverer. The "fake" Hall of Origin contains no warps or events and no {{p|Arceus}}. ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPSdWG-JfDg YouTube video])
* Unlike {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Shaymin}}, simply obtaining access to the (real) Hall of Origin (e.g. through the void glitch) does not mean that the player can battle {{p|Arceus}} there. This is because the scripts in the area are normally programmed to only trigger through the [[Azure Flute]] script in the [[Spear Pillar]]. The player can ascend the stairs, but the script to uniquely tilt and zoom the camera will not activate, nor will the script to have Arceus challenge the player when they step onto the glass platform. The Arceus sprite still appears, but just as in the actual event, it cannot be directly interacted with. Additionally in {{game|Platinum}}, as with Darkrai and Shaymin, the Arceus sprite will not appear in the area at all unless the player has the Azure Flute in the [[Bag]]. To actually battle Arceus in the Hall of Origin, the challenge script itself must be triggered (see [[Pal Park Retire trick]]).
* In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], the Hall of Origin resembles the pattern seen during the Sinjoh Ruins event in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.
