==Trivia==
* When the player plays through two extra missions in Shadows of Almia, Dialga in Hia Valley!? and Palkia in Haruba Desert!?, many new areas open up inside Almia Castle and Hippowdon Temple. These areas are not found in normal gameplay.
* Also, as stated by the designers, the player cannot save inside the extra missions in Shadows of Almia. Therefore, all exits capable of getting out of Haruba Desert or Almia Castle are blocked. The Save Machines read: "It says 'Undergoing Adjustments' on the screen".
* In the special mission, Rescue the Lost Shaymin!, Shaymin uses its 's cry, even when it's in its Sky Forme.
* Both Deoxys and the Odd Temple and Pledge to Arceus are connected to Guardian Signs’ multiplayer mode and accompanying side story. The Deoxys mission, after being downloaded, is accessed in the past in the same way as other Temple missions and is treated similarly, being the only mission located in the Odd Temple. The Arceus mission directly ties back to the end of the multiplayer mode’s story, where Arceus is subjugated by Ellios and Sabios. Arceus lashes out at humanity in the present in part because of this, but also due to the events that happen after the missions in the past, where Sabios uses the Golden Armor and creates the Sky Fortress, and the events in the present, where the Societea resurrects the Sky Fortress.
** Despite the latter, Pledge to Arceus does not require playing any multiplayer missions beforehand.
