Overview

Pocket D is a no fire zone for both Hero and Villains to mingle in, replacing the previous hero-only Paragon Dance Party.

Unlike the previous Paragon Dance Party in which the entrances where hidden and could only be found by noticing the fliers on the wall nearby, Pocket D's entrances show up on city maps.

Pocket D is also the only zone so far that allows Heroes and Villains to team up with each other.

The Valentine's Day Event 2006 event took place in Pocket D, and it was also the setting for the Second Anniversary Event.

In August of 2006, the special Tiki Room was added to Pocket D. This room was initially unavailable to players. Some players managed to gain access to this room via the Teleport power. After screenshots of this room were posted on various message boards, the ability to Teleport inside Pocket D was removed.

In October of 2006, the Tiki Room was made available to players who had purchased either the Good vs. Evil Retail Box Set in stores or the Online Pack from the NCsoft Store. Both of these purchases granted registered players access to a power called Pocket D VIP Pass. This power allows the user to teleport from anywhere in Paragon City or the Rogue Isles directly to the Tiki Room inside Pocket D.

The Tiki Room also features a Banished Pantheon Spirit of Sorrow bartender and a Banished Pantheon dance act. The dance act appears rarely and disappears the moment any player enters the room via teleport.

Winter Event 2006 temporarily added a ski chalet.

Badges

The following badges can be found in Pocket D:

Winter Event 2006 brings an exploration badge.

Trucker You've visited the floating truck in Pocket D.

Issue 8 added Pocket D Monkey Fight Club as a possible arena match location. In this particular arena there is an exploration badge, Cage Fighter.

Cage Fighter Fighting in a nice big arena is one thing, but fighting in a cage is completely... different. Only the strong survive a cage match.

The Monkey fight club area also includes:

Big Time The 'Fambly', as Joe Young would call them, had been dipping their fingers into the RMFC for some time. As luck would have it, DJ Zero offered Joe and Cornelius a chance to expand their business venture. The Monkey Fight Club Arena and Pocket D are a one-two punch that will certainly be a knockout!

Notes

Dampening Field -Teleport
You are being affected by a Dampening Field. It seems unlikely you could teleport.

• As of August 16, 2006, Teleporting is no longer allowed in Pocket-D.
  • This does not apply to the Ski Chalet area which is outside of the Dampening Field.
  • Pets (Powerset or Temporary Powers) and Henchmen set to aggressive near one of the corners of the dance floor in the main room of Pocket D will attack an invisible, invincible entity rumored to be the source of the dampener.
