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
Sweep the northern grass and bridge trainers; collect all non-Surf items; fish if desired; cross the final bridge; heal immediately in Eterna.
- This map has separate encounter and item ownership from Route 205 South; do not merge their wild tables simply because the route number matches.

Puzzles, Warps, And Switches
- The short dead ends around the bridge conceal items and trainer sightlines; finish them before taking the east exit.
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: Sweep the northern grass and bridge trainers; collect all non-Surf items; fish if desired; cross the final bridge; heal immediately in Eterna.
- Review all 15 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

- 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.
