  • In conjunction with the Unova Link, in-game you are able to obtain a “key” that you send to a friend which allows them to change the difficulty between Normal, Assist and Challenge.This key is only obtainable if your friend has completed the main story.
  • Using this, you can also change an area called the “Deep Earth Ruins”, where it is possible the Magma/Water cave exist. Doing this means it must be of some importance; the ability to catch Groudon/Kyogre? or possibly a reference to Ruby/Sapphire remakes?
