I immediately grabbed the pokenav out of my bag and looked it over carefully. It was a bit bulky but for the most part was about the same shape as an old flip pho was sand yellow with a single blue button in the middle of it that released the tch opening the devid a camera lens at the bottom. Once opeire top part of the device was a s while the bottom half was a direal pad and clicker button. Pressing the clicker button the pokenav's s immediately lit up brightly and a prompt asking for my I.D number appeared.-

  Retrieving it from my bag I carefully used the direal pad to type in the number on the card before hitting accept. It was much more primitive thae earth so I had no trouble at all figuring it out. I got a loading s after that as the device sent out a signal to the ower to input the data to the server. It didn't take long thankfully , only about thirty seds in total before I got put on the home s. Clearly the device was made to be very user friendly as the seven options were clearly beled to be chosen.-

  The options were Hoenn map , dition , i , match call , camera , ribbons and rescue call. Clig on the first option I resented with a familiar but signifitly different map then the one I remember. In emerald the map of Hoenn was very small and only showed "important" pces alongside the routes. This map was dotted with towns , vilges , forests , routes , caves and mountains. Yes mountains as in more than one of the things unlike in the game where it was basically just mt. ey. This was made it abundantly clear that the ndmass I was currently standing on was WAY bigger than in the game.-

  This made perfect seo me since I always thought that being able to cover the entire region on foot within maybe two days was ridiculous for a whion. Iingly the pokenav also showed where I was on this map and muy surprise I am actually not that far from Littleroot vilge. Acc to the device twelve miles away from it at the base of mt. grey in fact. The forest around us was also known as needle forest in fad was beled as a tier 1.5 danger area.-

  I frow that though as I didn't uand what it was refereng with that tier so I ig for now and began to pour over the map to figure hly how big Hoenn actually was. After getting the distaween where I was and the furthest point from me which was the evergrande league it came up to a little over a thousand miles from here to there. This is to say the real Hoenn was nearly half the size of Australia oh.-

  This meant at normal walking speed it would actually take about six or so months to plete a full gym circuit if one only walked. Obvious people had bikes and pokemon so walking is not the fastest method here but the parison in size and time for travel betweey and the game is clear now. Satisfied with this knowledge I backed out of the map a down to i to see if it is the same as oh. As it turned out it was a little different as it was filled with forums and informational guides but that was it.-

  I looked up daiers to figure out what with that and was impressed by what I found. The daiers were created by the league based on the level of pym leader used depending on the amount of badges you have. For example tier 0 means that all the pokemon are plete novices and easy to fight normally no matter how skilled one is. Tier 1 is at the same level as a first badge gym leader challehis means this area is between one and two badges right around.' I thought and after remembering the levels of the pokemon nearby I couldn't help but agree.-

  'The average level around here is sixteen to twenty five on average with anything lower her being unusual. If gyms follow the same level scheme as in the game then my team sits at right around the third badge or halfway to the fourth badge. That's not super powerful but is at least above average I think , lemme check' I thought before cheg to see the average power level for trainers. Surprisingly there was actually a graph showing the average number of people who became trainers per year and how many reached a certain gym badge level of power in their careers.-

  Surprisingly the number of people who make it past the third badge is massively lower than those that make it to the sed. Like seventy pert failure rate low which made me quite fused to be ho. As far as I could tell the only real challeo reag past the third badge should be the effort iing fortable battling and training. It was only at this point I felt like an idiot because it only just dawned ohat most who try to be trainers are probably just doing it because they and thus don't have the drive to really go the distance.-

  Basically the magic of the occupation is gone by the third gym so they give up. If the average gym level is the same as in the game then I have already gone past the third badge and was well on my way to the fourth. I chuckled as I remember that I also probably had Gaia train in a way that could be sidered unorthodox to say the least so her poay higher than it should be normally.-

  After that I decided to scrate of the biggest mysteries of the games , why all the nurse joys looked the same. Surprisingly this retty oion for rainers and so had an answer from the Joy themselves. Apparently one of their aors had rendered aid to a wounded Mew and the grateful legendary made it so all that persons female desdants looked the same as them minus small personal features and gave each look a like great affinity for healing. 'That is the sort of crazy shit a legendary like Mew aplish easily if pokedex entries are right.' I thought with a chuckle.-

  There was also another that had a simir thing going on for them except they all had great affinity for justiehow. This was the Jenny d just like the Joy they were apparently a massive with members nearly all over the globe. I also looked up information on trainers with legendary or pseudo-legendary pokemon and sighed in relief at what I found. It wasn't on for someone like me to pop up but it also wasn't unheard of as well. An example was that a man named John who made friends with a Latios in disguise that chose to join his team before he even caught a single pokemon. It was a rare event for people like me to pop up but definitely nothing I o worry about causing a huge otion with.
