(no subject)

Okay, guys! We've been hearing about a few problems between knowing how long it takes to get to different cities and which pokemon you can get.

Okami and I have been having really hectic lives for this weekend (wow guys... wow), so we're making an announcement here to clarify. It'll be "written in stone", so to speak, in the upcoming days.

First off, we would like to say it takes at least three days to arrive in Cherrygrove. Because we're not just burning through on a GBA, your character is walking. Lots of walking and running into fairly easy pokemon, like hoppips and ratatas and bellsprouts and other low-level pokemon. Not only that, but your pokemon are probably not going to be able to battle all day as of yet.

They'll get harder and the routes grow a bit longer.

And yes, we'll fix the region map.

We're just trying to keep you all from finishing the route too quickly, and this is so you can all pace yourselves and have a few more interactions with others along the way or in cities. For any questions or concerns, IM one of us or comment here.

Also, we would like to add that most of you trainers and breeders won't be in Cherrygrove until Mid Monday or later, depends on how fast your character travels!

Sorry guys, hope this helps! Happy trails!

Okay I've got a question actually. :o if the pokemon get stronger as the routes go ... how are rocket grunts supposed to level their Pokemon if they're supposed to level their Pokemon?

I don't mean a person's individual pokemon. I mean the pokemon along the routes.

So you could stay right outside of New Bark Town and battle five lvl5 kajillion ratata to level up, or you could go further down and battle something that's more difficult.

So as long as the Grunts are battling with their pokemon, they'll still level them up. Where they are won't affect their personal pokemon, just the ones they fight.

Yeah, that's why I was asking because I thought they were supposed to stay in Mahogany Town? and couldn't really battle with like... level 5 Pokemon /confused, sorry if it's not making sense.

There are probably some magikarp splashing around in there, or other low level pokemon. It'll probably just be harder to find them.

THERE, TEAM ROCKET, A CHALLENGE. Or they could battle each other.
