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

Fly to Valor Lakefront; pass the newly opened east gate; clear Route 222's beach and grass paths; visit both houses; enter Sunyshore; meet Flint; collect city gifts via elevated solar walkways; take the lighthouse elevator; speak to Volkner; return to the Gym.

  • The Sunyshore Market rewards Pokemon with effort ribbons and sells seals; Julia gives one Ribbon per day based on the requested story response.
  • Volkner remains at the lighthouse until spoken to after the blackout roadblock has cleared.

Puzzles, Warps, And Switches

  1. Sunyshore's raised solar-panel paths connect buildings that look separated at street level. Traverse each elevated branch before taking the lighthouse elevator.

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: Fly to Valor Lakefront; pass the newly opened east gate; clear Route 222's beach and grass paths; visit both houses; enter Sunyshore; meet Flint; collect city gifts via elevated solar walkways; take the lighthouse elevator; speak to Volkner; return to the Gym.
  • Review all 29 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.
