Old Chateau Mysteries
Okay, so I'm playing Pokemon Platinum, and I decide to venture into Old Chateau. As I explore the rooms toward the back, I find a little girl over in the next room and a picture whose eyes shut when you get in front of it.
Anyone figure out how to solve these mysteries? These questions have been plaguing me for a year now... |
there not mysteries,they are just little fun things like easter eggs.
P.S there are 2 more Ghosts try and find them. :D Muwah ha ha |
I agree; they aren't mysteries at all, but things that have been included to make the Old Chateau more spooky. There's also a butler ghost in the dining room in the first floor.
|
Yeah, it's not really fully explained, the mansion, which makes it interesting as well in its own way (yay speculation!). For instance, you see the ghostly butler and girl...and an antidote can be found in the bin. Now, whyever would an antidote be in the bin? *whistles*
|
hah yay Clue : Pokemon Edition was it the butler in the dinning room with an Weedle?
we'll never know due to know one elaborating if it has a purpose or not though believe people have tried to find something meaningful and come up with squat but all in all a nice little "WTH was that a girl" moment if you don't know its coming. |
I always though the picture whose eyes follow you was just a Gengar. (You can find Gengar in that room only)
|
I hated the Old Chateau. D: I only went in there once to catch a Rotom, but never did I explore the place nor tried and find hidden items.
But I did accidentally found that room with the ghost girl... Sure was a mystery. |
Here is some things i noticed:
There are 3 beds in the Old Chateau. One for the parents and one possibly for the little girl. So who are the parents? In D/P/Pt, after you beat the elite 4, Gardenia is standing outside of the Old Chateau. And, if i recall correctly, in D/P, In Eterna Condominiums, On the second floor, there's a little girl, and when you talk to her, she says "Gardenia, our Gym Leader, goes out to Eterna Forest every so often. I always wonder what she does there..." That right there might mean that Gradenia has some connection to the Old Chateau. There is an Antidote in the garbage, why would they need an antidote? Maybe someone poisoned someone? Since it's in the kitchen... Someone poisoned someone else's food? Sounds horrible, but that's the only logical conclusion i can come to. The picture with flashing eyes is probably gengar. Mr. Backlot has a butler too. Plus he has that same statue that was in the Old chatue. O_O Yeah, that's all i have. Or i could just be overlooking the whole thing. I doubt pokemon would come up with An actual, interesting sidestory as complex as this. The Old Chateau is probably just a filler... |
And don't forget the music! That music is kind of creepy, not Lavender town creepy, but at least gen 2 Mt. moon creepy.
|
So, basically, the Old Chateau is just a place to capture Rotom? I was hoping for something more in-depth.
Ah well, I can always put answers to this in my fanfic... |
No No I despise you saying thats its only a good due to Rotom it is the very first place in the history of Pokemon to have Catchable Gengar and Human Ghosts not to mention it is the best place to Ev for Special Attack. It is just a great addition to Sinnoh to explore and wonder about. pfft Rotom's just there because it wanted a cool place to be.
|
Gengar being only found in the room with the portrait with red eyes is indeed hinting something.
The antidote is just given there, for no good reason, I think. If there was supposed to be a story about it, maybe it's just that the Pokemon are trying to scare you by making you see them in human form through illusions. Pluto was related to the mansion, because he said he found Rotom. But then again, it's been hinted that it belonged to Mr. Backlot. There were two statues, one of which is in Mr. Backlot's new mansion, which he has instructed the guard to not let anyone touch. I touched it at dead night, when the guard is not there. |
If you remember, back in the original series, ghost pokemon did the same kind of thing.
|
That's part of what makes it interesting, the fact that it's not fully explained. I've started to wonder if Charon/Pluto might be part of the family who used to inhabit the old Chateau, and if the little girl is his sister or daughter.

If there was any connection then it would be this: Whenever Gardenia goes to train her Pokémon in Eterna Forest, she will always have to pass by the path that leads to the Old Chateau. Curiosity beckons her to check it out; however, she always chickens out because of the ominous aura that the place gives off. Let's not forget that the little girl who tells you that might not be old enough to realize that training Pokémon in one's habitat helps one fight better. |
Then there's also the TM Substitute in the room of the ghost girl, which implies that perhaps another girl was killed. And if you'd noticed, the architecture of Backlot Mansion and Old Chateau are the same. And in the anime, this professor from Galactic discovered Rotom in that place, probably where he lived and there was a diary saying "Something peculiar is happening around here." The butler ghost in the dining room was definitely poisoned and probably was leading the player to an Antidote in the trash a sign that he was poisoned(Duh, why would you need an Antidote for?).

I think it's quite appropriate that the antidote is found, as it definitely implies poisoning. I mean, the pokemon that frequent the place [other than Rotom] all being part poison seems to be a little too convenient :p
I personally agree with the notion that it is tied into Mr. Backlot. Perhaps his brother lived there, or perhaps he lived there previously. I mean, the statue thing just seems too much of a connection. ): |

Overall, it's also one of the best places to EV train Special Attack. That's usually where I go to train Sp. Attack. :)
|
I've always just gone there to EV train Spc. Attack. I thought the ghosts had stories but I couldn't find any theories. I thought people dead there could have been related to Gardenia because she goes there a lot.

Now I have the answer to your question.
The picture: The picture is a picture/painting of Giratina, and of course, when you get close to it, its eyes shut. When you step further away from it, it's eyes close. The reason for this is to make the mansion seem even spookier. The items in the rubbish bin: You can find 2 or more items in the rubbish bin, an antidote and a great ball. Yeah, why are they here? Because you can find items lying in any house in sinnoh's rubbish bins. The little girl: A ghost? A living thing? Either way, think carefully about what she is saying. The old Cheateu is "old" and was probably there centuries ago. So why would she know Gardenia, when Gardenia is very young and wouldnt have been there centuries ago. I know the girl is not a ghost. Ghosts: The ghosts that roam the mansion are just there to spook you, and make the game more interesting. The television: The television is in a room in the mansion, and when you click on it, it says that its got very bad reception. After you beat the elite 4, you can go back to the television and click it once more. This time a wild pokemon will appear, Rotom. The reason legendary music is playing is because there is only one rotom in the game. Spooky Music: The music is played in the Cheateu to make it seem old and eerie. I have always been spooked by it. Why is it there: The Cheateu is there for entertainment, an extra feature to the game. So if you beat and clock the game, it is there to explore and is a mystery never to be solved. Also, that girl with green hair asks you to guide her past the Old Cheateu. Reason being is because she might be related to somebody in the old Cheateu and is scared that whatever happened to the others might happen to her. Hope I gave you a detailed answer! :P |
Absolutely interesting theory Ebony! I didn't think of the green-haired girl, Cheryl, was it? She has healing and Psychic Pokemon, all the more reason to be afraid as Psychic's weak to Ghost. But Gardenia has NO connection whatsoever to OC, she's just being a normal human by being spooked out by the horror tales. The person in reference to thee mystery is the one and only Mister Backlot and his lapdog Butler aka the Murderer.

Overall, I understand what you are trying to say, but your theory has some holes in it... |
I think that there's those eye holes in that picture, and when you see the red eyes, a POKeMON maybe looks through them and tries to freak you out, but it's scared that you'll capture it.
TV: Did anyone think of the ring when the TV was flashing on and off? I did. I think the TV was haunted by the ROTOM. But, I guess it could be haunted by a girl. THEY'RE HERE! Ghosts: There has to be a backstory. I don't know if anyone in the game is related to these ghostly folks, but I know they're not just there or they're just POKeMON trying to scare you. I know there's something up with them. The Girl: I think she got "killed" in her room. That empty space has to be her room. I mean, if I were a ghost, I would stay in my room, eh? Trash Can: Yup. I believe that someone got poisened. It has to be. But, then again, Budew are lurking in the forest, so maybe that's the case. I believe the poisened theory. |
