Version scope

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

Route Plan

Tour every Department Store floor and basement, borrow the Bicycle, complete the Radio Tower quiz for the Radio Card, obtain the Coin Case in the Tunnel, and register all city services before entering the Gym.

Wild Pokémon

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

Static, gift, trade, and event Pokémon

Pokémon	Method	Level	Requirement / note
Eevee	Gift Pokémon	Lv. 5	Source-scripted encounter or gift; save or make party space before resolving it.

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.
