Walking Pokémon effects

This section is incomplete. Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it. Reason: Verification and whether there are any missing.

When the player interacts with a walking Pokémon in HeartGold and SoulSilver, the Pokémon may occasionally show an altered mood specific to this location:

• The Pokémon becomes more cautious.
• As it is cold, Ice-type Pokémon are happy whereas Grass-types aren't.
  • Despite both being Grass-type and Ice-type, Snover will not be happy, whereas Abomasnow will be happy.
• Ground and Flying-type Pokémon constantly shiver.
• Other Pokémon curiously interact with the surrounding ice.
• On the ice tiles, the Pokémon likes to slide around and occasionally stare at its own reflection.

Differences between generations

In Pokémon Gold and Silver, the Ice Path looked like an average cave. It was redesigned in Pokémon Crystal, having received a completely new and unique tile set that better depicts it as an icy cave as well as changes in the features and puzzles. Its design in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver is thus modeled after the Pokémon Crystal design.

In the Generation II games, collecting HM07 (Waterfall) is optional. In the Generation IV games, an NPC found nearby will claim that the HM is his and insist that the player take it, and he will not allow the player to proceed until they have collected the item.

In the anime

The Ice Cave in the anime

The Ice Path has not appeared by name in the anime. The Ice Cave, which serves the same role as the Ice Path, appeared in the banned episode EP250. The Ice Cave has a Pokémon Center inside, where the local Nurse Joy is aided by a Jynx rather than a Chansey. Team Rocket attempted to steal Nurse Joy's Ice-type Pokémon by heating up the cave, but their plans were thwarted.

The Ice Path made a brief cameo appearance in All About Arceus III as one of the locations Silver and his Weavile ventured to in their search of the Plates scattered around Johto.
