Version scope

HeartGold and SoulSilver are labeled per row. Event-only and external-device content is never presented as normal retail progression.

Route Plan

Board in Olivine, battle every accessible passenger, find the sailor in B1F, relieve the blocked stair guard, locate the girl in the Captain's room, then finish all cabins before docking.

Wild Pokémon

No random encounter bank is assigned to these source maps. Static, gift, Safari, Contest, or event records appear separately when applicable.

Trainers

Teams are the exact source party records. Moves and held items appear only when the trainer format defines them. Reward = last party member level × 4 × trainer-class multiplier; double battles double the base payout where the engine applies it.
