Route 228

Route 228 is a route in Battle Zone of the Sinnoh region, where Regirock can be captured in Platinum.
Like Route 111 in Hoenn, there is a constant raging sandstorm that is present, even when the player character is battling a Trainer in the area.
In the original Diamond and Pearl, a man who might be Lucian's grandfather lives here, the man claiming he has a grandson who enjoys reading and has a library containing books on ESP.
This route is also home to some of the highest-leveled wild Pokemon that can be found in the Sinnoh region. A Move Tutor also lives here, one who will teach the moves Hydro Cannon, Blast Burn, or Frenzy Plant but only to starter Pokemon from Sinnoh and the other previous regions.
In Platinum, the cave located in the middle of the route houses the Rock Peak Ruins where Regrirock can be fought and potentially caught but only if the player character has a fateful encounter Regigigas as a current member of their party.
==Cyrus's Grandfather==
In Pokemon Platinum only, the house in the northern part of the route now has a man who is presumably Cyrus's grandfather living there.
Upon being spoken to, he will express surprise at seeing the Gym Badge from Sunyshore City Gym before asking if they've been to that port town, then? 
He then asks the player character if they would lend an ear to this old man's tale.
Should the player chose "Yes", the old man will at first express doubt, believing he should not burden them with this. 
He then reveals that his grandson, presumably Cyrus grew up in the city by the sea and worn down by trying to live up to his parents and their expectations, he found refuge in tinkering with machines.
The old man even wonders now if he should have taken his grandson in and raised him himself although he's not certain if that would have been a good choice or not and that he doesn't think anyone could say.
He then apologizes, informing the player character he shouldn't have said any of this to them.
If the player chooses no, the man will tell the player character to pay him no heed and that he only hoped to unburden himself of some guilt.
