It pops out randomly, but only when you match the slots. Stop the slots as Clefairy points to them. If the moon is red, wait for it to go back to normal and continue when it is. Doing this perfectly increases your chances, but will not gurantee it. One more thing about Clefairy. If it has ditto eyes, the odds of another bonus round decrease.
Once you are comfy with a slot machine, begin to play away! To begin with you need to keep spinning the reels until a Pokéball appears, this will contain one of three Pokémon:
The Pokémon you release from the ball determines your odds of getting the TM. To release the Pokémon out of the ball you have to align 3 of anything above a Pikachu and a Replay (it takes time, though). I find it easier to release them by lining up the PokéBalls, the Team Galactic symbols or the Bonus symbols, 7s.
Once the Clefairy/Ditto (if a Ditto I would consider trying again) has been released you will then need to align the Bonus symbols, 7s, in order to start the bonus round. Once the bonus round has been initiated you will begin to see the following things occur on the bottom screen of your DS, they are the following:
To start obtaining the Bonuses you will need to follow Clefairy's hand gestures, which point to the reel you need to stop first. So, if Clefairy is pointing right on the screen, then press the A button, if up then press B, if left then press Y. Simple, isn't it? Continue to refer to the above for the on-screen changes which will determine how many bonus rounds you will reach.
If you manage to obtain 10 straight bonus rounds go to the Game Corner Reception Desk and talk to the lady. She will congratulate you and hand over a TM64 Explosion. Remember to keep trying and you will get there eventually just like I did now. Enjoy, people!
Thanks to TG-Espio for this!

Pokémon Platinum Version |
---|
Also known as: Pocket Monsters Platinum (JP), Pocket Monsters Pt: Giratina (KR) This game has unused areas. |
To do: Stuff from the 9/9/2020 Pokémon Platinum source code leak. |
Pokémon Platinum is the third version to the 4th generation. It shares a lot of unused content with Diamond and Pearl.
Unused Maps There was a gym in Jubilife City? |
Unused Map Models Solaceon Ruins had more rooms? |
Alternate unused animation frames for Giratina's Altered and Origin forms, respectively. The game uses different sprites for the different animation frames. The unused sprite for its Origin form was actually shown in a pre-release screenshot.
An alternate unused animation frame for Shaymin in its Land Form; however, different sprites are used for the first and second animation frames.
The sprite is a placeholder that occupies twelve slots. The red text reads 'ketsuban', which translates to 'missing number'.
A different version of the large NPC's sprite. The unused version looks more stretched-out, making the sprite seem fat.
This sprite set is in the style of FireRed and LeafGreen. The developers actually went for a similar design in early versions of Diamond and Pearl.
Same as above, but this time it depicts a green-haired male NPC.
Used |
---|
Early gray versions of the Rotom items can be found in the files for overworld sprites. Their filenames are firebox, skybox, icebox, waterbox and grassbox. It is worth noting that these are actually found after the used sprites.
Debug UI graphics stored in debugcb_editd_test.narc.
In the game's files, there is data for an unused encounter with a roaming Darkrai at Lvl. 40. It is released on the map if one executes script command 0x21C with its parameter set to 0x2. The existence of this battle suggests that Darkrai was originally planned to be caught in the same fashion as its counterpart Cresselia. This data also exists in Pokémon Diamond & Pearl.

6E | Hits opponent. Also unused in Gen 3. |
83 | Hits opponent. Also unused in Gen 3. |
85 | Hits opponent. Synthesis in Gen 3. |
86 | Hits opponent. Moonlight in Gen 3. |
8D | Hits opponent. Unused since Gen 2. |
9D | Hits opponent. Soft-Boiled in Gen 3. |
A3 | Hits opponent. Also unused in Gen 3. |
108 | Similar to Splash; displays the text 'But nothing happened!' |
Effect 0x03 is a unique unused contest effect that intends to increase appeal by two extra points every time the same judge is chosen. However, this function is incomplete and does not seem to work. It also comes with proper text and ingame descriptions.
Some Pokémon when found in the wild has a chance of holding an item. But several Pokémon can only obtained via evolution or other means, so catching a Pokémon with these items is impossible.

The 'Stopwatch' and 'Alarm Clock' apps for the Pokétch are unused, which was also the case in Diamond and Pearl. They are assumed to have been planned for event distribution, but they were never distributed in any event.
'The Stopwatch is used for measuring time precisely. How quickly can you zip through the Cycling Road?'
'The Alarm Clock can be set to sound every 24 hours. Set the alarm time with the lower button. The top button turns it on.'
Probably a placeholder. The text reads アプリ00 (App 00).
Probably a placeholder. The text reads アプリ12 (App 12).
Probably a placeholder. The text reads アプリ26 (App 26).
Appears to be an early version of a bottom-screen menu. The buttons do nothing when pressed.
Toggles the bottom screen's backlight.
ID | Sprite | Name | Description |
---|---|---|---|
0x58 | Great Trophy | An impressive trophy awarded only to seemingly indefatigable Pokémon. | |
0x59 | Ball Ornament | A commemorative object modeled after a Poké Ball. | |
0x5A | Round Ornament | A very valuable round object that glows in seven colors. | |
0x5B | Clear Ornament | A very valuable object that is crystal clear. | |
0x7A | MANAPHY Doll | A rare Manaphy Doll. | |
0x7D | MAGNEZONE Doll | A big Magnezone Doll. |
Six unused decorative goods that have not been distributed can be found in the game's files. The Clear and Round ornaments may have been used as version exclusives for Diamond and Pearl.
To do: I managed to uncover some images. Upload those. |
More than 500 text strings can be found talking about changing values for unknown debugging features. However, the debug menu code is probably lost.
Some example strings of interest (there are many more):
Two text files leftover by the developers. In the filenames, 'tw' refers to 'tornworld' (the Distortion World), and 'uground' refers to The Underground.
The Hall of Origin event from Diamond and Pearl still exists in Platinum. Arceus also still has its ??? form from Diamond and Pearl. Since the only difference visually is a palette swap nothing needed to be updated for it to work with the new animations.
Arceus also has a Shiny palette for each of its 18 forms. Because the only way to obtain it legitimately was through distributions, the Shiny version of Arceus was left unobtainable through normal means. However, with the unused Hall of Origins event, the player is theoretically able to catch Shiny Arceus. Shiny Arceus was later made available as a distribution via serial code in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire with the purchase of tickets to the 18th Pokémon movie.
The overworld sprites for the so-called 'Stat Trainers' are listed as seven1 to seven5. This indicates that two more characters were planned to be added, further supported by the fact that the sprites are followed by two placeholders (ketsuban).
In the Japanese version of Platinum, it's possible to get stuck in an endless loop battling Ace Trainer Deanna on Route 225 over and over until the player blacks out. This was fixed in international versions.
In early North American versions of Platinum, the game doesn't display the level range of wanted Pokémon on the GTS.
To do: What about the Korean version? |
In the Japanese version, players could receive e-mail messages stating when a trade on the GTS was complete. In the North American and European versions, players could only receive notifications through Wii Messaging. This change also applies to Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.
To do: There's more changed dialogue to cover. Any remainants in the data? |
The Veilstone Game Corner games cannot be played in the European and Korean Version in order to comply with PEGI's new rating standards regarding gambling and South Korea's anti-gambling laws. Because of that, almost all references to gambling were removed and rewritten. Note that the Australian version still included the Game Corner, which caused it to receive a PG rating.
This line of text will shop up once a player approaches a game machine with coins.
If the game machine has no coins, this text will be displayed.
The 'motto' for the Game Corner was changed.
USA | Europe |
---|---|
Aim for an Explosion of Luck! | The place that everyone talks about! |
This is what the instructional sign says in the European and American versions.
USA | Europe |
---|---|
Shoot for 10! Line up these bonus rounds! If you accomplish the feat of completing 10 uninterrupted bonus rounds, please go to the counter. | A polite request from the management: Please take care not to spill Lemonade or Soda Pop on the Game Machines. This will damage the Game Machines. If you do happen to spill a drink, please inform reception. |
USA | Europe |

When a Poke Ball appears, it's a chance to line up slot marks. Replays and PIKACHU line up even if you don't make an effort. But you need to aim for better marks, like Poke Balls and Moon Stones. | I love Veilstone City because of the department store and Game Corner. It seems like I'm always coming here! ... But you know something? I always have so much fun that before I know it, it's already night time! But my trusty Pokemon are with me so I'm not afraid of going home at night. |

Woohoo! CLEFAIRY! Look! Yeahah! It's a carnival! Let me share some of my joy with you! | Gyahaha! The Coins! So many Coins! That Technical Machine will be mine! Righto! Let me share some of my happiness with you! |

I've been winning a ton today. Here, take some Coins! | Today I'm feeling on top of the world! You! Let me share my coins with you! |

Listen, when CLEFAIRY appears, that's your change to line up sevens. Line thosse babies up and you're into the bonus round! | Hey! If you search the Game Machines sometimes extra Coins fall out! Thing is, it only tends to happen once a day... |
USA | Europe |
---|---|
I'll explain how the slot machines work at this Game Corner. During regular play, you should stop the reels from the left. During a bonus round, watch where CLEFAIRY points and stop the reels in that order. | Hi! Let me tell you a little bit about the Game Corner! There's a very good reason to try and collect a lot of coins here! You see next door, you can exchange your Coins for Technical Machines! |
USA | Europe |

A friend in my group scored a ton of Coins here. Why mess with a good thing? I'll try the same spot, too! | Recently, my friends keep beating me at Pokémon battles so... I come here to let off some steam. |

Sigh... Nothing's going my way today... Are you a Trainer? Did you battle the Gym Leader? She happens to be my daughter. She's some kind of tough! | Are you a Trainer? Did you battle the Gym Leader? She happens to be my daughter. She's a real tough cookie! |

Examine, if you will, the reels, The Team Galactic logo, it is here. ...Ack. My streak is broken. | Team Galactic, yes, I have a hunch that they, too, may come here to play. ... Game Over? How can this be? |
