    On Route 214, there's a tunnel a Ruin Maniac is digging. When you first meet him, he suggests a race where he will continue to dig this tunnel while the player goes and captures Unown. The most Unown you capture, the more progress the Ruin Maniac will make on the tunnel. Once you catch all 26 letters of Unown, the tunnel will be completed and be connected to the Solaceon Ruins where you can catch the ? and ! Unown.

    The cave itself will also change and have more Pokemon to encounter within as you catch more Unown. Once you have caught at least 10 Unown, Hippopatas's encounter rate will be 10% instead of 5%, and upon catching all 26, Hippopatas will have a 20% encounter rate. This location is the only place you can capture any Hippopatas at all, interestingly enough.

    What did you think of this? Did you bother capturing more Unown to unlock more within this small area in Sinnoh?
     
    I only completed that tunnel in Diamond version, but not in my other games because capturing all the Unown letters was too bothersome.
