== Overview ==

Pocket D is a first rate night club occupying a self-contained pocket dimension created from nothing by [[DJ Zero]]. Pocket D is a no-fire zone where Heroes and Villains can mingle safely. Pocket D opened up after the hero-only [[Paragon Dance Party]] shut down.

Apart from the [[Rikti War Zone]] and [[Cimerora]], Pocket D is one of the only other zones in which Heroes and Villains can team together. Several special events have introduced special missions that could be run by mixed teams of heroes and villains, including a few missions that ''required'' teammates from both sides.

The [[Tiki Room]] and the [[Ski Chalet]] are both located in Pocket D. The Tiki Room can only be accessed by [[Pocket D VIP Gold Club Member Badge|Pocket D VIP Gold Club Members]], and the Ski Chalet is only accessible during special events.

Pocket D also features the [[Monkey Fight Club]], [[Arena]] terminals, and a branch of the [[Vault Reserve]].

== Events ==

Pocket D has been a key location during several [[special events]].

; [[Cuppathon]]
: The farewell party for the widely admired [[CuppaJo]] had several events in Pocket D, including the CuppaCloning costume contest.
; [[Anniversary Events]]
: Many anniversary events include a party with [[Red Name]]s in Pocket D, whether on the [[Servers|"Live Servers"]] or the [[Training Room]] (Test Server). Themes may or may not be in effect; when a theme is announced, there is typically a costume contest with prizes given out by the developers.
; [[Valentine's Event]]
: The 2006 Valentine's Event introduced missions from contacts that temporarily appeared in Pocket D. For the first time ever, Heroes and Villains could team up. Every year since, the Valentine's content has repeated, sometimes with expansions on the details.
; [[Winter Event]]
: The 2006 Winter Event introduced the [[Ski Chalet]], from which [[Father Time]] asked both heroes and villains to save [[Baby New Year]]. Heroes and villains could team together for his missions. Every year since, the Winter content has repeated, often with expansions on the details.
