The Resort Area is the second area of the Battle Zone. It's a place where trainers and their Pokémon can relax and not worry about battling
There is not much you can do here, as there is no Mart (lamented by one lady you can talk to), so the only valuable thing about the place is the fact that you can heal yourself for your ventures into Route 229 and Route 228. There are also a few berries you can pick, and also some valuable items lying around the area hidden. Once you are done here head back to Route 229.
Ribbon Syndicate[edit]
You can only enter this mansion (located to the very left of the Resort Area's main buildings) after you have 10 different KINDS of ribbons accumulated between all of your Pokémon currently in your party. The lady at the door will step aside once you have met the requirements.
There are two floors to this building. The main floor of the building is the place to buy ridiculously expensive ribbons that do absolutely nothing (bet you're loving the place already). The second floor is the place to get a professional massage for absolutely free (at least something is).
Ribbon Prices[edit]
| Name | Price |
|---|---|
| Gorgeous Ribbon |  10,000
|
| Royal Ribbon | 100,000
|
| Gorgeous Royal Ribbon | 999,999(yes, that's a completely full wallet)
|
These ribbons have absolutely no effect, except the fact that you can brag to your friends when you buy one.
The second floor's massage room has the same effect as having a massage in Veilstone City(increase your Pokémon's friendship), except you now have two places to get a massage. They will do a free massage once a day.
Pokémon found[edit]
In Platinum, if you fish in the pond with the Super Rod above the Poké Center, you will find Magikarp, from levels 1-100. This is weirdly the highest leveled wild Pokémon in the game. The pond in DP, is in the southeast corner.
