-Welcome to the Sinnoh Region!-
Welcome! By clicking on this post, you have decided to start your wondrous journey as a Trainer in the Sinnoh region. Your first stop would probably be Sandgem Town, where you'd receive a starter Pokemon from Prof. Rowan, one of the authorities on Pokemon evolution. Choose wisely - your starter Pokemon will become your long-standing partner on your journey.
More than likely, you're going to take the Sinnoh Gym Challenge. If I may make a suggestion, you might want to start in Jubilife City, home of the world-renowned Jubilife TV studio. Jubilife doesn't contain a Gym, but it does have a Trainer School, the perfect place to brush up on your skills and statuses if you're a little bit rusty. Jubilife is also home to the PokeEtch Company - Sinnoh's answer to the PokeGear and the PokeNav, but with added watch-ness.
No doubt your next destination would be the first Gym. But where would it be? Oreburgh City, of course! In addition to hosting the first Sinnoh Gym, headed by *unknown*, who happens to specialize in *unknown*-type Pokemon, Oreburgh is a mining town of impressive vitality - though even miners as enthusiastic as these need to take a rest, hence why so many of them help out as Gym understudies on their downtime. Oreburgh also hosts a museum to rival even Pewter's impressive collection, and there are rumors they've perfected the technology to revive fossil Pokemon . . .
Between Oreburgh City and your next (likely)destination would be a quick sojourn through Mt. Coronet, and then Floaroma Town - not a location for hayfever sufferers, but a resplendent paradise of flowers awaits those that wait. Some say you can even got Gracidae flowers from the flower shop, though quite how, no-one knows . . .
Once your business is done in Floaroma, it's more than likely you'll be heading off towards Eterna City. Before then, you'll have to make your way through Eterna Forest. Rumor has it that there's a rock hidden somewhere in this forest that allows a certain Pokemon to evolve. It's also said that deep within the branches there's an old abandoned Chateau. No one's quite sure when it was built, but some swear that it's resident's haven't left quite yet. . .
Okay, so you've gotten through the Forest. By now you must be at your next destination, Eterna City. If you're on the quest for the badges, you'll no doubt get your second one here. Be wary, however, as the Gym Leader, *unknown*, who specializes in *unknown* won't be an easy opponent. When you're done with your match, why not relax and look around? There are several places to stop by in this lovely place. You could check out the statue of a legendary Pokemon, or the old Team Galactic building while you're at it. Once you've gotten your fill, make sure you pick up a bike at the Shop before headed South, or your adventure will come to a halt.
By here, picking up the next three badges can be done in any order. Most Trainers, however, would go the recommended path, stopping at the glorious Hearthome City for their next Gym Match. *unknown*, the Leader of the Gym here, will no doubt cause you some trouble with the strength of *unknown*. When all that's said and done, those of you that are constantly referred to as 'religious nuts' can stop by the church to give a quick prayer for a safe journey. Those of you with 'cute' Pokemon can take a stroll in Amity Square with them or take on the challenge of becoming top Coordinator in the Pokemon Contests held here. The choice is yours, really.
The next stop for most trainers would be Northeast of Hearthome in a little place I like to call Solaceon. While there isn't much to do here, you can check out the Ruins in the East part of the town. If you're lacking in power, you could always leave your Pokemon in the Daycare to strengthen them up. Just make sure to get them back before continuing on with your journey.
Badge number four in the easy order would be found in the next destination, Veilstone City. The Leader *unknown* has the the ultimate power of *unknown*, so be on your guard. After that, why not check out the Department Store here? They say it's selection of items rival that of Celadon's and Goldenrod's. If you're feeling particularly lucky, you can stop by the Game Corner before continuing on.
Next stop? Pastoria City of course! Before stepping into the Gym, however, you may want to wander the Great Marsh. While the selection here isn't as great as Johto's own Safari Zone, it's said you can find Pokemon here that you can't find anywhere else. When you're done there, step into *unknown*'s Gym and fight the strength of *unknown*. Hope you ready for a tough match.
So, that's five badges under your belt. Where else to go? Well, you could stop by Celestic Town and brush up on your archaeology, or head back to Jubilife City and go West from there. The next City you'll see then would be Canalave City, home of *unknown* who has the power of *unknown*. There's also a library here for those bookworms out there. If you need to train for the gym here, take a boat on over to Iron Island. If you're lucky you could run into a nice gentleman who would pass an egg your way. By the way, the house to the very North is always locked, so don't plan on entering it any time soon. It's rumored that some horrible beast lurks in there. . .
Six down, two to go. You're next stop would be a hop, skip, and a jump through Mt. Coronet to get to Sinnoh's Northernmost City, Snowpoint City. This frozen city just past Mt. Coronet is home to many Ice-types. It's also rumored the ruins in the northernmost part of the city hold a powerful secret. Not many know, however, as they say it take three certain catalysts to make it happen. In the meantime, why not hop on over to *unknown*'s Gym? The strength they hold over *unknown* is said to be unmatched. There's also a boat near the entrance of the city, but I wouldn't worry about that for now. . .
Well would you look at that? 7 badges already! Now then, the next destination before the Pokémon League is home of the 8th Badge, Sunnyshore City. Before you stop by *unknown*'s Gym, user of *unknown*, you could check out the town's lighthouse or the little indoor plaza in the west part of the City. There you could buy a few seals to put onto your Pokéballs to give them your own little special touch. Once your done with that, head up to the Gym, swoop in on that Leader, grab the 8th Badge and start headin North, my friend!
So you've beaten the eight Gyms of Sinnoh. Where are you going to show off your newfound power as a Trainer? Where else? The Indigo Plateau! The men and women of the Elite Four will make the Gym Leaders you've battled seem like young Trainers. Want to know who you're up against? Gladly~.
