# 0_0 Professor: Well, well, look who’s here.
VAR(259, 0, 0), was it?
Let’s have a look at your Pokémon.
# 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 Hm!
Entrusting you with that VAR(256, 0, 0)
was no mistake, it seems!
# 0_4 Professor: Well, 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: When I first saw you two
about to step into the tall grass\fwithout Pokémon, I was shocked.
I was astounded by these foolhardy
children.
But now, you’ve astounded me in an
entirely different way.
Already, there is a bond growing
between you and that Pokémon.
I feel privileged to have met you.
I’m sure VAR(256, 0, 0) feels the same
way about you.
That’s why I’ll ask you to cherish that
VAR(256, 0, 0) of yours.
# 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 Allow me to properly introduce myself
first.
My name, as you know, 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, 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, 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, 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, 0), your grand adventure
begins right now!
# 0_18 Rowan: Go on!
VAR(259, 0, 0), your grand adventure
awaits you!
# 0_19 Dawn: The Pokémon that I met for
the first time was VAR(256, 1, 0)!
If you would have chosen VAR(256, 1, 0)
on Route 201, we’d have the same\fPokémon now!
Not that it matters, but...
Anyway, 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)!
# 0_20 Lucas: The professor asked me to help,
so I’m filling the 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, 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.
Oh, my name is Roseanne.
It’s an honor to be an assistant to
our professor!
# 0_23 Adventure Rule No. 1
The X Button opens the menu.
# 0_24 Adventure Rule No. 2
Record your progress with SAVE.
# 0_25 It’s crammed full of books with all
sorts of Pokémon information.
# 0_26 There’s a lot of reference material
and research reports on Pokémon.
# 0_27 Rowan: Ah, VAR(259, 0, 0)!
You’ve come to show me your
progress on the Pokédex?
# 0_28 Hmm...
So, you’ve seen VAR(308, 0, 0) Pokémon.
# 0_29 What’s wrong?
You’re not going to tell me you’ve
seen too few to bother showing me?
# 0_30 Excellent work, VAR(259, 0, 0)!
The Pokémon of the Sinnoh region are
being added to your Pokédex.
This will certainly help with my studies
of Pokémon evolution...
# 0_31 Rowan: Hm! VAR(259, 0, 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_32 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_33 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_34 Professor Oak, let me introduce you
to my young assistant.
This youngster has filled every page
of the Sinnoh Pokédex for me.
# 0_35 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_36 VAR(259, 0, 0)’s Pokédex was upgraded
with the National Mode!
# 0_37 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_38 Rowan: Have no fear, VAR(259, 0, 0)
will get the job done.
By the way, Professor Oak, what
compelled you to visit this region?
# 0_39 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_40 VAR(259, 0, 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_41 VAR(259, 0, 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 Rowan: Off he goes, as busy as
ever...
# 0_43 Now, VAR(259, 0, 0)...
I have a gift here as your reward
for completing the Sinnoh Pokédex.
# 0_44 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_45 Rowan: The world is immense.
There are many more Pokémon.
That means there are many more
thrills for you to seek and enjoy!
# 0_46 VAR(259, 0, 0) checked the PC.
The screen is filled with special terms
and academic writing that is impossible\fto figure out.
# 0_47 Research materials are carefully
tucked away.
# 0_48 The refrigerator is filled with
tasty sweets! Mmm...
# 0_49 It’s really quite something!
Imagine... Cataloging every kind of
Pokémon in the Sinnoh region!
And in complete contrast, there’s
VAR(259, 0, 0)...
Anyway, you’ve been great for the
prof’s Pokémon-evolution research!
# 0_50 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.
# 0_51 Rowan: VAR(259, 1, 0)!
You’ve come back!
You... You leave me speechless!
You’ve done it!
You really have done it!
Never has my heart pounded this hard
for so long in my 60 years of living!
# 0_52 Dawn: The professor did a lot of
checking up after you left.
He was really worried about you,
VAR(259, 1, 0)...
He contacted acquaintances looking for
help, and...
VAR(259, 1, 0), I’m glad to see you safe!
Welcome back!
# 0_53 Lucas: After you left, the professor
did a lot of checking around.
He got really worried about you,
VAR(259, 1, 0).
He got in touch with people he knows
to rustle up help...
You didn’t need it, VAR(259, 1, 0).
I’m glad to see you back safe, too.
# 0_54 Rowan: Oh, yes, there was something
I had to tell you.
The three Pokémon of the lakes appear
to have returned to their homes.
So, tell me.
How are things going for you?
The Pokédex...?
Hm! A total of VAR(308, 1, 0)!
...And the number of Badges?
Well! You’ve got seven already!
That only leaves Sunyshore’s Gym.
Hm! You’ve come this far.
Why not obtain Sunyshore’s Badge?
And why not challenge the Pokémon
League?
That will broaden your horizons
further than ever before.
Not to mention the opportunities to
meet even more Pokémon.
# 0_55 Rowan: Oh, yes, VAR(259, 0, 0).
If you see Cynthia, please give her
my best regards.
# 0_59 I... I’m stunned by your greatness!
I feel as shaken and inspired as when
my child was born!
Oh, how wonderful it is to be alive!
# 0_60 Hearing what was happening from the
professor gave me shivers.
But he strongly stated that you will
make everything all right.
I believed that you would make it, and
here you are!
