    The Trick Master is a neat old guy who allows us into his Trick House to get through interesting mazes and get some mildly useful rewards. He usually conceals himself somewhere upon the player entering the place and the player gets the curious message "You're being watched..."

    The Trick House is located just above Slateport City, above the entrance of the Cycling Road.

    Did you bother to finish all his puzzles? What do you think about this neat little addition?
     
    Ah, the Trick House was one of my favorite places to visit in the 3rd gen games, and I made sure that every time I beat the next Gym Leader, that I went back to Route 110 to do the next Trick House puzzle. My favorite puzzle was always the one with the quiz robots, as it reminded me of Blaine's Gym in Cinnabar, and how much I loved doing the quiz questions there.

    I was genuinely disappointed when I finished the final puzzle in Sapphire and found that the Trick Master wasn't coming back, but at least they gave us brand new puzzles to complete in Emerald as well.
     
    I love the Trick House and always do all the puzzles. I couldn't care less about all the Mails that are scattered around (and they're actually sort of a hassle late in the game, when bag space is at a premium), but I do them anyway. The battles are generally pretty good, the puzzles are mostly interesting and the music is brilliant.

    And that "How did you know I concealed myself behind ____" bit always amuses me. I want to say, "So... you didn't see that really obvious flash of light?"

    Maybe it's a reflection off of his forehead?
     
    I loved Trick House, haha. Would visit this place whenever I had the chance, and spend time trying to get through all those mazes, puzzles, etc. Plus, it was a great way to train your Pokémon. Mine were extremely under-leveled when I had reached Watson, so they were taken down by him pretty easily; then, I wound up coming to this place, and got them leveled-up. Thanks to that, I finally managed to get him beaten. I still could have managed Trick House hadn't existed, but it would have taken a lot more time; probably would've been required to train in the wild, which, if you ask me, is kind of a hassle. :(
