The guide likely meant to say Altering Cave, which can be found in FireRed and LeafGreen, but Pineco can only be found there with an event distribution that was never distributed.
* In the Generation III games, no background music plays on the bottom floor of this cave. In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, the only other area in the game that shares this distinction is the Inside of Truck. (In Pokémon Emerald, Birth Island also has no background music.)
** As a result, if a Pokémon evolves or an hatches here in these games, the evolution background music will play on the floor until the player leaves.
* In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the player's PokéNav Plus will be unusable in the bottom floor due to electrical interference from the intense natural energy in the room.
* In , the player can see past the outer edges of the map on the lowest floor, leading to a visual glitch.
** Additionally, there is a misplaced gemstone tile near the entrance to this floor, which interrupts the intended design of the cliff face.
