==Trivia==
* Old Gateau's name in both English and Japanese is a pun based on the location it is found. In English, the French word gâteau ("cake") plays on Chateau. In Japanese, the Chateau's name is "Forest Manor" (Japanese: もりのようかん) while the Gateau's name is "Forest " (Japanese: もりのヨウカン); the two terms are homophones and are pronounced as mori no yōkan.
** Its French and Italian names also incorporates a pun between gateau and Chateau.
** The English names of the Old Chateau and Old Gateau were coined by translator Nob Ogasawara, intending to preserve the pun in the original Japanese text.Interview with Nob Ogasawara by ANMTV.

According to Nob, he was able to keep the Old Chateau/Old Gateau pun in part due to him being able to give more input in the localization process from Generation III onward.Lets Break PKMN Blue Thread Bits.txt (itself found here)
* According to Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl, the Old Gateau is also known as the "Mirage Gateau".
