# 0_0 Professor: ...
Finally, you’ve come.
VAR(259, 0), was it?
Let me see your Pokémon again.
# 0_1 ...
Hmm...
I see...
This Pokémon seems to be rather
happy.
# 0_2 Well well!
You’ve made your Pokémon evolve
already?!
# 0_3 All righty then!
I’ll give that VAR(256, 0) to you as
a gift.
# 0_4 Professor: Now that it’s yours, would
you like to give it a nickname?
# 0_5 Professor: Hmm, OK, I see...
And you’re happy with that nickname?
# 0_6 Professor: Your friend VAR(259, 1)
told me what happened at the lake.
I heard you battled very well,
despite it being your first time.
And, from what I can see, there is
a growing bond between you and that\fPokémon, though it is still young.
That’s why I would like to entrust
you with VAR(256, 0).
# 0_7 Dawn: I’m so glad that you’re kind
toward Pokémon!
If you weren’t, I’d have to...
Oh, I just can’t say it...
# 0_8 Lucas: Boy, am I glad you’re kind
toward Pokémon.
If you weren’t, well...
I don’t even want to think about it.
# 0_9 Professor: Er-hem!
Let’s move on to the main topic.
There is something I want you
to do for me.
# 0_10 My name is Rowan.
I study Pokémon.
First of all, I want to know exactly
what kinds of Pokémon live in the\fSinnoh region.
To do so, it is necessary to collect
data using the Pokédex.
This is what I wish to ask of you.
I want to entrust you with this
Pokédex.
Will you use it to record data on all
the Pokémon in Sinnoh for me?
# 0_11 Rowan: ...
...
...
...
I can stand here without speaking for
hours. I’m a very patient man.
Let me ask you again, VAR(259, 0).
I want to entrust you with this
Pokédex.
Will you use it to record data on all
the Pokémon in Sinnoh for me?
# 0_12 Rowan: Hm!
Good answer!
# 0_13 VAR(259, 0) obtained
the VAR(65280, 1)PokédexVAR(65280, 0)!
# 0_14 Rowan: That Pokédex is a very
high-tech device.
It will automatically record data on
every kind of Pokémon you encounter.
VAR(259, 0), I ask that you go
everywhere and meet every kind of\fPokémon in this region!
# 0_15 Dawn: I’ve got one, too!
# 0_16 Lucas: I’ve got the same kind of
Pokédex as you.
# 0_17 Rowan: When you walked up Route 201
with your Pokémon, what did you feel?
I’ve lived for 60 long years.
Even now, I get a thrill when
I’m with a Pokémon.
Now, you should know that there are
countless Pokémon in this world.
That means there are just as many
thrills waiting for you out there!
Now go!
VAR(259, 0), your grand adventure
begins right now!
# 0_18 Rowan: Go on!
VAR(259, 0), your grand adventure
awaits you!
# 0_19 Dawn: The Pokémon that I used for
the first time was VAR(256, 1)!
If you would have chosen
VAR(256, 1) at the lake, we’d\fhave the same Pokémon now!
Not that it matters, but...
Anyways, I’m Dawn.
I also help the professor add pages
to the Pokédex.
So, in a sense, I’m just like you.
I just got a little head start on
you, that’s all.
I’ll be happy to teach you things.
Glad to meet you, VAR(259, 0)!
# 0_20 Lucas: The professor asked me to
help, so I’m going to go out and fill\fthe Pokédex pages, too.
That makes us comrades working
toward the same goal.
I’ll teach you stuff later, OK?
# 0_21 I’m VAR(259, 0)’s father.
I’ll be happy to assist you on your
quest for the professor.
Hahaha. Eh...
I’m sure we can count on you!
# 0_22 Professor Rowan invented a new
Pokédex while working alongside a\fprofessor from the Kanto region!
# 0_24 Adventure Rule No. 1
The X Button opens the menu.
# 0_25 Adventure Rule No. 2
Record your progress with SAVE.
# 0_26 It’s crammed full of books with all
sorts of Pokémon information.
# 0_27 There’s a lot of reference material
and research reports on Pokémon.
# 0_28 Rowan: Ah, VAR(259, 0)!
You’ve come to show me your
progress on the Pokédex?
# 0_29 Hmm...
So, you’ve seen VAR(308, 0) Pokémon.
# 0_30 What’s wrong?
You’re not going to tell me you’ve
seen too few to bother showing me?
# 0_31 Bravo, VAR(259, 0)!
You’ve recorded all the Pokémon of
Sinnoh in your Pokédex!
This will help immeasurably with my
studies on Pokémon evolution...
# 0_32 Rowan: Hm! VAR(259, 0), I’ve been
waiting to see you!
You’ve met every kind of Pokémon
there is in the Sinnoh region!
This will help immensely with my
studies on Pokémon evolution...
# 0_33 Oak: Greetings, Professor Rowan!
It’s been a very long time!
I’ll tell you, Sinnoh certainly is
a long trip from Kanto.
Of course, if it means meeting new
Pokémon, there’s no distance too\fgreat for the likes of us to travel.
# 0_34 Rowan: Oh! If it isn’t my old
colleague, Professor Oak!
I should have expected as much from
the world’s authority on Pokémon!
We always used to joke, “Where
there are Pokémon, you’ll find Oak!”
It’s good to see that hasn’t changed
one bit!
# 0_35 Professor Oak, let me introduce you
to my young assistant.
This youngster has filled every page
of the Sinnoh Pokédex for me.
# 0_36 Oak: Ah, well, very glad to meet you!
As you’ve heard, my name is Oak.
I’ve been hearing a great deal about
you from Professor Rowan lately.
He’s been exuberant in praise about
a fantastic young Trainer.
I see that you live up to--no--that
you’ve surpassed his praise.
You’ve also got an impeccable sense
of timing.
You see, I had an errand to run for
Professor Rowan on my visit here.
He’d asked me to bring the data
for the National Pokédex, you see.
So, since you’re here, let me upgrade
your Pokédex with the National Mode.
After all, there are many kinds of
Pokémon in this world of ours!
# 0_37 VAR(259, 0)’s Pokédex was upgraded
with the National Mode!
# 0_38 Oak: I’m afraid it won’t be easy to
complete the National Pokédex.
However, I’m sure you will make an
honest attempt on our behalf!
# 0_39 Rowan: Have no fear, VAR(259, 0)
will get the job done.
By the way, Professor Oak, what
compelled you to visit this region?
# 0_40 Oak: Ah, yes. I’ve heard that the
Pal Park is now open.
If I remember correctly, it’s at the
end of Route 221.
The Pal Park has a special system
that attracts every imaginable kind\fof Pokémon from every region.
I’ve come to make certain that
system is operating properly.
# 0_41 VAR(259, 0), you should make an
effort to visit the Pal Park, too.
Oops! I’ll be late for my meeting if
I don’t get going!
OK, it was a pleasure seeing the both
of you! Bye, now!
# 0_42 VAR(259, 0), you should make an
effort to visit the Pal Park, too.
Oops! I’ll be late for my meeting if
I don’t get going!
OK, it was a pleasure seeing the both
of you! Bye, now!
# 0_43 Rowan: Off he goes, as busy as
ever...
# 0_44 Now, VAR(259, 0)...
I have a gift here as your reward
for completing the Sinnoh Pokédex.
# 0_45 Rowan: That’s the Pokémon Radar,
or just Poké Radar for short.
Use it, and it will indicate grass
patches where Pokémon are lurking.
I’d prepared that to help my field
assistants put together the Sinnoh\fPokédex, but you took care of that!
I’m sure it will be useful for your
goal of filling the National Pokédex.
# 0_46 Rowan: The world is immense.
There are many more Pokémon.
That means there are many more
thrills for you to seek and enjoy!
# 0_47 VAR(259, 0) checked the PC.
The screen is filled with special terms
and academic writing that is impossible\fto figure out.
# 0_48 Research materials are carefully
tucked away.
# 0_49 The refrigerator is filled with
tasty sweets! Mmm...
# 0_50 It’s really quite something!
Imagine... Cataloging every kind of
Pokémon in the Sinnoh region!
And in complete contrast, there’s
VAR(259, 0)...
Anyway, you’ve been great for the
prof’s Pokémon-evolution research!
# 0_51 Yes, that’s correct.
Professor Rowan has been studying
Pokédex systems with Professor Oak.
Professor Oak is Professor Rowan’s
junior in terms of seniority.
