==Your journey begins...==
==Introduction==
When you start a new game, [[Professor Birch]] will be there to greet you. He will introduce himself and talk about the relationships between Pokémon and humans. He goes on to mention the mysteries surrounding his studies of Pokémon. He then asks if you are a boy or a girl. Choose your preferred gender (it doesn't matter which one you pick, it won't affect the storyline). Birch will then ask for your name.  Pick wisely —you will not be able to change your name or gender once you have started the journey.
After the title screen, the resident researcher of the [[Hoenn]] region, [[Professor Birch]], appears and introduces new Trainers to the Pokémon world. The professor continues, asking the player to select both a gender and a name, which can be up to seven characters long. With that done, Birch sends the player off to begin their journey!


Have courage, and leap into the [[Pokémon world|world of Pokémon]] where dreams, adventure, and friendship await! -[[Professor Birch]]
==Home==
The game begins in the back of a moving truck, as your family has just moved here from the far-off [[Johto]] region. Hop out of the truck to meet {{ho|Mom}} and step inside your new home. Head upstairs to check out your room and set the clock. Return to the first floor and Mom excitedly calls you over to the TV; the current program just aired a segment about the [[Petalburg Gym]], where your dad is the new [[Gym Leader]]. She then suggests visiting his friend, your new neighbor, Professor Birch. Welcome to Littleroot Town!

After reading and completing the start-up screen with Professor Birch, you start in a moving truck. After exiting, you will meet with your mom who tells you to set your clock; after you have done that, you will be prompted to check your desk. You can withdraw a [[Potion]] from your PC. After doing this, head back downstairs. Your mom will be watching TV.


She quickly calls you to watch the TV, saying that your dad might be on TV. However, the program ends. Your mom will continue to talk, and you learn that [[Norman|your father]] is the Gym Leader of the [[Petalburg City Gym]]. Your mom then suggests that you go and meet your neighbors: May (if you chose to be a boy) or Brendan (if you chose to be a girl), who lives right next door. When you try to touch the item ball in their room, May/Brendan will appear and talk a little about what they want to do as a Trainer, and that [[Professor Birch]] is their father, before leaving.
{{to|Littleroot}} is a quaint little town nestled on the lush southern edge of the [[Hoenn]] mainland. There are only three buildings here; your home, [[Professor Birch]]'s home, and the professor's Pokémon Laboratory, where he conducts research on Pokémon distribution, in the south.


Upon entering {{rt|101|Hoenn}}, you  will find Professor Birch being attacked by a {{p|Zigzagoon}}. You will choose a Pokémon from his case to battle the Zigzagoon, either {{p|Treecko}}, a {{type|Grass}}, {{p|Torchic}}, a {{type|Fire}}, or {{p|Mudkip}}, a {{type|Water}}. This Pokémon will become your starter, so choose carefully.

After the Zigzagoon is defeated, Professor Birch invites you to his lab. He talks a little bit about the responsibility of being a Trainer, then lets you keep your Pokémon. He suggests that you go to {{rt|103|Hoenn}} to battle May/Brendan.


===Professor Birch's House===
Having just moved to a new town, why not meet your new neighbors? Visit the house next door to meet the professor's wife, then head upstairs to meet his child. The room is empty at first, but inspect the item on the floor and {{ga|May}}/{{ga|Brendan}} enters. Your new friend introduces herself/himself but suddenly leaves, remembering that Birch asked for help in catching a Pokémon.

==Route 101==
[[File:Hoenn Route 101 E.png|thumb|180 px|Route 101]]  
[[File:Hoenn Route 101 E.png|thumb|left|Route 101]]
In order to get to Route 103, need to take Route 101 to Oldale Town. With ledges blocking the way, you must go through the [[tall grass]] to keep moving north. Pokémon can be battled, but not captured, seeing as you don't have any [[Poké Ball]]s yet. It is possible to train if you wish to raise your level to at least 7 or 8 to make it easier to face May/Brendan.  
[[File:Ruby-sapphire-starters.png|thumb|Choose wisely!]]
 
{{rt|101|Hoenn}} is a short path that connects [[Littleroot Town]] to [[Oldale Town]] in the north. The route features several patches of [[tall grass]], a favorite hiding place of wild Pokémon.

===Save the Professor!===
When you first reach the area, you find [[Professor Birch]] being chased around by a wild {{p|Zigzagoon}}! His Bag has fallen out of his reach, and he pleads with you for help. Choose one of the three Pokémon from the Poké Balls inside the professor's Bag, and use it to scare off his attacker.

* The {{type|Grass}} {{p|Treecko}} has the most weaknesses of the trio, with five: {{t|Fire}}-, {{t|Bug}}-, {{t|Poison}}-, {{t|Flying}}-, and {{type|Ice}} attacks. It and its evolutions excel in {{stat|Special Attack}} and {{stat|Speed}}. Its Grass moves are strong against {{t|Water}}-, {{t|Rock}}-, and {{type|Ground}} Pokémon.
* The {{type|Fire}} {{p|Torchic}} is great when battling {{t|Grass}}-, {{t|Bug}}-, {{t|Ice}}-, and {{type|Steel}} Pokémon, but is vulnerable to {{t|Water}}-, {{t|Rock}}-, and {{type|Ground}} moves. It and its evolved forms focus on {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}}. As it grows, it gains a secondary {{type|Fighting}} type.
* The {{type|Water}} {{p|Mudkip}} has an advantage when facing {{t|Fire}}-, {{t|Rock}}-, and {{type|Ground}} Pokémon, but may struggle against {{t|Grass}} and {{t|Electric}} attacks. It and its evolutions specialize in {{stat|Attack}}. As it grows, it gains a secondary Ground type; this protects it from Electric attacks, but leaves it especially vulnerable to Grass moves.
==Littleroot Town==
===Birch's Lab===
After scaring off the wild Pokémon, Birch invites you back to the Lab. As thanks for rescuing him, he happily lets you keep the young Pokémon. He then encourages you to visit May/Brendan on {{rt|103|Hoenn}} for tips on how to be a Pokémon Trainer. When your Pokémon needs a rest, head back home and visit with Mom to have her restore it to full health.


==Oldale Town==
==Oldale Town==
[[File:Oldale Town E.png|thumb|180px|Oldale Town]]
[[File:Oldale Town E.png|thumb|Oldale Town]]
 
[[Oldale Town]] is the first settlement in the region to feature a [[Pokémon Center]] and a [[Poké Mart]]. Pokémon Centers are essentially hospitals where creatures can be restored to perfect health. The PC on the counter is always available for Trainers to organize their Pokémon. Poké Marts offer a wide range of items for sale, from Potions to Poké Balls. {{rt|102|Hoenn}} leads off to the west, while {{rt|103|Hoenn}} runs northward.

Once in [[Oldale Town]], you can learn about Poké Marts from the woman in an apron walking outside. After telling you about them, she gives you a [[Potion]] as a "promotional item". Apart from the Poké Mart, there's a Pokémon Center and a few people who will tell you about certain basic foundations for Trainers. There's also a man blocking {{rt|102|Hoenn}}. Seeing as your rival is as powerful as you are, it would be a good idea to heal your Pokémon at the Pokémon Center.


===Free Potions!===
Speak to the woman near the southeast house. She works at the local Poké Mart, and shows you the way to the shop. Once there, she gives you a free {{DL|Potion|Potion}} as part of a promotion her shop is running.
===The Sketch Artist===
The western exit is currently blocked off by a man who believes that he may have found some extremely rare Pokémon tracks. No one is allowed past until he has made a sketch of his discovery.

After you win, (s)he'll leave, and tell you to come back to the lab. You'll have to walk back to [[Littleroot Town]], but this time you can avoid the tall grass by jumping over the ledges.


Once you get back to Prof. Birch's lab, he'll give you the Pokédex, and your rival will give you five {{Ball|Poké}}s. You can then leave for [[Petalburg City]]. Before you go, your mom walks out of your house and gives you the Running Shoes. She reads the instructions (hold down "B" while you're walking) and lets you go on.
After the battle, May/Brendan heads back south to Birch's Lab.

===Birch's Lab===
After the battle, follow May/Brendan back to Professor Birch's Lab. Inside, the professor gives you a handy gadget: the Pokédex! This high-tech encyclopedia instantly records information on any Pokémon you see or catch. In addition, his child gives you five {{ball|Poké}}s to start you off on your journey. Now that you have received some Poké Balls, they can be purchased at all Poké Marts in the region. Buying ten Poké Balls at once, at any location, also earns you a bonus Premier Ball.  
 
===Meet up with Mom===
As you go to leave Littleroot, you see Mom standing outside. She is proud that you have your own Pokémon. In preparation for your adventure, she gives you a pair of [[Running Shoes]]. By holding down the B Button, these shoes allow you to run twice as fast as the normal walking speed.

When you go back to [[Oldale Town]], the man blocking {{rt|102|Hoenn}} will be gone, allowing you to get to Petalburg City.


On {{rt|102|Hoenn}}, you will face regular Trainers for the first time. You can also find you first set of Berries in the game.
{{rt|102|Hoenn}} connects [[Oldale Town]] and [[Petalburg City]]. The patches of tall grass are home to several new wild Pokémon species.

After obtaining a [[watering can]], you may water the young plants at certain times to increase the Berry yield. Berries can have several useful effects, from curing status conditions to restoring health. They can even be turned into [[Pokéblock|candy]]!

===Meet up with Dad===
When you visit the [[Petalburg Gym]], you find your father, [[Norman]], standing in the lobby. He is surprised that you've made it this far from home, but is excited for you to become a Pokémon Trainer like him. A sickly boy named [[Wally]] soon enters, and explains that he will be staying with relatives in nearby [[Verdanturf Town]] in the hopes that the clean air will do him good. But he is afraid of becoming lonely there, and asks for help in catching a Pokémon to take along. Norman asks that you go with him, and loans him his {{p|Zigzagoon}} and a {{ball|Poké}}. Wally leads you back to {{rt|102|Hoenn}}, where he successfully catches a {{p|Ralts}}.
 
Back at the Gym, Wally can't thank you enough for helping him catch his very own Pokémon. Your father then gives you some advice: to become a strong Trainer, challenge Gym Leader [[Roxanne]] in [[Rustboro City]] before moving on to the other Gym Leaders. Though Norman is also a Gym Leader, he will not accept your challenge until you have earned four [[Badge]]s.
 
===The Man in Sunglasses===
As you reach the city's western limit, you are stopped by a man in sunglasses. Judging by the way you are dressed, he assumes that you're a Pokémon Trainer. However, he reconsiders after seeing your not-so-dirty clothes, determining you to be either a rookie Trainer or just an ordinary kid. He informs you that he is roaming the land in search of powerful Trainers, and apologizes for taking your time before leaving for {{rt|104|Hoenn}}.


After Wally returns the Zigzagoon and leaves with his new Ralts, Norman will then tell you that you should head for [[Rustboro City]] to the north-west and battle the Leader there. You'll have to head west of Petalburg City and onto {{rt|104|Hoenn}}. On your way out you will (for the first time) encounter [[Scott]], who recognizes you as a Pokémon Trainer, but doesn't feel that you are worthy yet for what he was going to ask.

Revision as of 16:16, 22 August 2016

Introduction

After the title screen, the resident researcher of the Hoenn region, Professor Birch, appears and introduces new Trainers to the Pokémon world. The professor continues, asking the player to select both a gender and a name, which can be up to seven characters long. With that done, Birch sends the player off to begin their journey!

Home

The game begins in the back of a moving truck, as your family has just moved here from the far-off Johto region. Hop out of the truck to meet Mom and step inside your new home. Head upstairs to check out your room and set the clock. Return to the first floor and Mom excitedly calls you over to the TV; the current program just aired a segment about the Petalburg Gym, where your dad is the new Gym Leader. She then suggests visiting his friend, your new neighbor, Professor Birch. Welcome to Littleroot Town!

Littleroot Town

Littleroot Town

Littleroot is a quaint little town nestled on the lush southern edge of the Hoenn mainland. There are only three buildings here; your home, Professor Birch's home, and the professor's Pokémon Laboratory, where he conducts research on Pokémon distribution, in the south.


Professor Birch's House

Having just moved to a new town, why not meet your new neighbors? Visit the house next door to meet the professor's wife, then head upstairs to meet his child. The room is empty at first, but inspect the item on the floor and May/Brendan enters. Your new friend introduces herself/himself but suddenly leaves, remembering that Birch asked for help in catching a Pokémon.

Route 101

Route 101
Choose wisely!

Route 101 is a short path that connects Littleroot Town to Oldale Town in the north. The route features several patches of tall grass, a favorite hiding place of wild Pokémon.


Save the Professor!

When you first reach the area, you find Professor Birch being chased around by a wild Zigzagoon! His Bag has fallen out of his reach, and he pleads with you for help. Choose one of the three Pokémon from the Poké Balls inside the professor's Bag, and use it to scare off his attacker.

Grass Fire Fighting Water Ground


  • The Water-type Mudkip has an advantage when facing Fire-, Rock-, and Ground-type Pokémon, but may struggle against Grass and Electric attacks. It and its evolutions specialize in Attack. As it grows, it gains a secondary Ground type; this protects it from Electric attacks, but leaves it especially vulnerable to Grass moves.

Littleroot Town

Birch's Lab

After scaring off the wild Pokémon, Birch invites you back to the Lab. As thanks for rescuing him, he happily lets you keep the young Pokémon. He then encourages you to visit May/Brendan on Route 103 for tips on how to be a Pokémon Trainer. When your Pokémon needs a rest, head back home and visit with Mom to have her restore it to full health.

Oldale Town

Oldale Town

Oldale Town is the first settlement in the region to feature a Pokémon Center and a Poké Mart. Pokémon Centers are essentially hospitals where creatures can be restored to perfect health. The PC on the counter is always available for Trainers to organize their Pokémon. Poké Marts offer a wide range of items for sale, from Potions to Poké Balls. Route 102 leads off to the west, while Route 103 runs northward.


Free Potions!

Speak to the woman near the southeast house. She works at the local Poké Mart, and shows you the way to the shop. Once there, she gives you a free Potion as part of a promotion her shop is running.

The Sketch Artist

The western exit is currently blocked off by a man who believes that he may have found some extremely rare Pokémon tracks. No one is allowed past until he has made a sketch of his discovery.

Route 103

Route 103

Route 103 serves as a shortcut between Oldale Town and Route 110. Seawater divides the route, restricting travel to the western side for now.


Rival Battle 1

Cross through the tall grass to meet up with your rival, who challenges you to a friendly battle after spotting your new Pokémon. The opposing Pokémon will always have a type advantage against your own. Remember to use Potions if the battle isn't going your way!

Treecko Player chose Treecko




Torchic Player chose Torchic




Mudkip Player chose Mudkip




After the battle, May/Brendan heads back south to Birch's Lab.

Littleroot Town


Birch's Lab

After the battle, follow May/Brendan back to Professor Birch's Lab. Inside, the professor gives you a handy gadget: the Pokédex! This high-tech encyclopedia instantly records information on any Pokémon you see or catch. In addition, his child gives you five Poké Balls to start you off on your journey. Now that you have received some Poké Balls, they can be purchased at all Poké Marts in the region. Buying ten Poké Balls at once, at any location, also earns you a bonus Premier Ball.

Meet up with Mom

As you go to leave Littleroot, you see Mom standing outside. She is proud that you have your own Pokémon. In preparation for your adventure, she gives you a pair of Running Shoes. By holding down the B Button, these shoes allow you to run twice as fast as the normal walking speed.

Route 102

Route 102

Route 102 connects Oldale Town and Petalburg City. The patches of tall grass are home to several new wild Pokémon species.


Soft Soil

There is a patch of soft soil on the route's north side. On your first visit, two Berry trees can be found growing here. Collect the fruit and the trees disappear, allowing you to plant another Berry to continue the cycle. The amount of time needed for the new tree to fully mature and produce fruit varies based on the kind of Berry. After obtaining a watering can, you may water the young plants at certain times to increase the Berry yield. Berries can have several useful effects, from curing status conditions to restoring health. They can even be turned into candy!

Petalburg City

Petalburg City

Situated between Route 102 to the east and Route 104 to the west, Petalburg City is the first location you reach to feature a Pokémon Gym.


Meet up with Dad

When you visit the Petalburg Gym, you find your father, Norman, standing in the lobby. He is surprised that you've made it this far from home, but is excited for you to become a Pokémon Trainer like him. A sickly boy named Wally soon enters, and explains that he will be staying with relatives in nearby Verdanturf Town in the hopes that the clean air will do him good. But he is afraid of becoming lonely there, and asks for help in catching a Pokémon to take along. Norman asks that you go with him, and loans him his Zigzagoon and a Poké Ball. Wally leads you back to Route 102, where he successfully catches a Ralts.

Back at the Gym, Wally can't thank you enough for helping him catch his very own Pokémon. Your father then gives you some advice: to become a strong Trainer, challenge Gym Leader Roxanne in Rustboro City before moving on to the other Gym Leaders. Though Norman is also a Gym Leader, he will not accept your challenge until you have earned four Badges.

The Man in Sunglasses

As you reach the city's western limit, you are stopped by a man in sunglasses. Judging by the way you are dressed, he assumes that you're a Pokémon Trainer. However, he reconsiders after seeing your not-so-dirty clothes, determining you to be either a rookie Trainer or just an ordinary kid. He informs you that he is roaming the land in search of powerful Trainers, and apologizes for taking your time before leaving for Route 104.
