The Mystery Zone (Japanese: なぞのばしょDP Mystery Zone or ----PtHGSS) is an area in the Generation IV games that serves as a filler between normally accessible outdoor and indoor areas.
In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, the Mystery Zone is located all around Sinnoh to facilitate the precise entry into the Underground, which has tunnels that travel under areas where no routes or cities exist.
Geography
The geography is made predominantly of 32-by-32 blocks of either trees, water, plateau, or blank void space. The area itself is named Mystery Zone, with the location header popping up to display this name when the area is entered.
No Pokémon or items are found in the Mystery Zone.
Access
The Mystery Zone is normally inaccessible, but can be entered by means of tweaking and the Surf glitch. It can also be accessed with the use of cheating devices.
Music
In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, the background music theme is usually the variant of ２０６ばんどうろ（昼） Route 206 (Day) (identified internally as SEQ_DUMMY), which is thought to be an older composition of it. Less commonly, ポケモンセンター（昼） Pokémon Center (Day) or ちかつうろ The Underground are played instead.

In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the background music theme is ２９ばんどうろ Route 29. The GB Sounds also does not affect the Mystery Zone, meaning the respective track will not play there.
Oddities and glitches
When walking through mountainous terrain in the Mystery Zone, the player's sprite may become hidden by the terrain. The screen may also appear to zoom in as one enters the area, due to the fact that the terrain is completely flat. Certain areas of the Mystery Zone may cause a game freeze while others will lock up the game with a black screen if the player refreshes the graphics there. Saving in one of these areas will cause the game to lock up like this whenever the resulting save file is opened, causing it to become unusable. Examples of such areas are those bordering the Sinnoh Elite Four's rooms in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum.
By traveling from one area to another through the Mystery Zone, the tile sets will not be updated even if the new area is programmed to use a different tile set. Currently loaded 3D props, such as buildings, are subject to this as well. Simply refreshing the graphics will solve this.
Sinnoh's Mystery Zone has its own tile set which can be seen by entering it from the overworld, refreshing the graphics there, and then returning to the overworld. This tile set was actually depicted in a pre-release screenshot of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, indicating that it is a leftover from the development period. It also remains within the internal data of Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.
Occasionally, the game can be tricked into thinking that the player is somewhere else while in the Mystery Zone. A common result of this behavior is in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, where the game displays the Turnback Cave or Floaroma Meadow header and triggers fog, while the floor remains black and the map displays that the player is on Route 221. This occurs when the player goes outside of the map matrix and the game cannot indicate where the player really is on the world map.
On the first copies of the Japanese version of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, the menu can be opened and one of its entries can be accessed and exited in order to refresh the graphics. On later copies, international releases as well as in all releases of Pokémon Platinum, the menu cannot be opened and the touchscreen menu cannot be used, although a registered key item can still be used to refresh the graphics in the area at any time.
