Santalune City
The first real city — full Pokémon Center with PSS (Player Search System), Wonder Trade, GTS, and Super Training. Stock up before the gym and finish a few side errands.
Pokémon Center upgrades (Phase 1)
| Service | What it does | Use it now? |
|---|---|---|
| Heal counter | Full party heal | Every visit |
| Poké Mart counter | Wider stock — Poké Balls, Potions, Antidote, Paralyze Heal, Repel, Super Potion (after Badge 1) | Buy 10 Poké Balls + 5 Potions |
| PSS (touch screen) | Online battles, trades, Wonder Trade, Holo-Caster news | Wonder Trade once you have a spare Bunnelby — surprisingly good early |
| Super Training (touch screen) | EV training via mini-games | Skip for now — better unlocks later |
Trainer's School (left side of city)
A one-room schoolhouse west of the Gym. Four children and an old man — all dialogue NPCs, no battles. Free items and a key freebie inside.
| NPC | What they do |
|---|---|
| Old Man (back of room) | Gives 3× X Attack + 3× X Defense |
| Teacher (front) | ★ Gives you a Quick Ball after the first chat (missable — only first visit) |

| Schoolgirl (back row) | Tutorial dialogue on status conditions |
| Two more children | Tutorial dialogue on items and abilities |
| Chalkboard (left wall) | Status condition reference chart |
Roller Skates
Outside the Pokémon Center (or near the south gate, depending on entry path), a Roller Skater girl gives you the Roller Skates automatically. They're a permanent traversal upgrade — Circle Pad to walk, slide pad fully tilted to skate. Skates also unlock a few ledges and shortcuts on Routes 4, 5, 7, and 9.
