Version discipline

Rows merge only when Diamond and Pearl are identical, and each row carries D/P game markers. Version-exclusive species, mascot encounters, swarms, Radar slots, and GBA insertion slots keep their own labeled rows.

Route Plan

Visit the Pokemon Center and Mart; collect city gifts; follow the worker south into Oreburgh Mine; clear both floors; speak to Roark at the breakable rock; return to the Gym after his demonstration.

  • The Mining Museum revives fossils later; it cannot provide a fossil Pokemon until the Underground is unlocked and a fossil is excavated.
  • Machop on Route 207 and the player's Grass- or Water-type starter are straightforward Roark answers.

Trainers

Field order follows the map's object-event order. Full teams include explicit held items and moves when trdata defines them; cash rewards use the in-engine final-party-slot level and trainer-class multiplier formula.

Puzzles, Warps, And Switches

  1. Take the mine's outer loop on B2F to reach Roark, then finish the inner trainers and items before leaving so no one-way ledge creates a second trip.

Boss Strategy And Partners

No Gym Leader, rival branch, Galactic boss, Elite Four member, Champion, story partner, or major postgame battle is assigned here.

Completion Checklist

  • Complete the currently reachable part of this route plan: Visit the Pokemon Center and Mart; collect city gifts; follow the worker south into Oreburgh Mine; clear both floors; speak to Roark at the breakable rock; return to the Gym after his demonstration.
  • Review all 7 encounter rows across the per-area tables, including game markers, method band, time-of-day rates, levels, and each conditional requirement; mark conditional rows for their stated revisit.
  • Defeat or deliberately skip every currently reachable trainer row; leave HM-, story-, or National-Dex-gated rows checked only after their access requirement is met.
  • Collect currently reachable visible/scripted items and berry trees, use the Dowsing Machine for reachable hidden rows, and retain every explicitly gated row for the named cleanup visit.
  • Resolve every currently available puzzle note, boss branch, and partner scene before opening the next section.

Sources And Validation

  • pret/pokediamond at commit 038cccaed5de8f013875bc5d734f912d1de08e0f: map_header.c, D/P encounter archives, trdata.json, zone events, script archives, item tables, and trainer graphics.
  • Encounter slots were decoded from exact 424-byte D/P members and cross-checked against Gen IV slot behavior; the 0x6C pair is day, morning uses base slots, and 0x74 is night.
  • Coordinates remain visible as QA anchors, while each hidden row also provides a plain-English map-region instruction.
  • Generation-wide systems that are not tied to a normal map archive—Honey Trees, Great Marsh daily rolls, Trophy Garden, fossils, Pal Park, and event items—are explicitly curated in their dedicated system pages.
