>>714178084I was 7 years old when I got Pearl and the only time I got lost was wandering around between Pastoria and that one mountainous beach town next to it that isn't a real town wondering what the fuck I was supposed to be doing. Turns out they kind of just expect you to remember that there was a herd of psyducks blocking your way to the north and you need to meet Cynthia there.
I got stuck here while playing it as an adult too incidentally, though at least I could just turn and google it. When I was a kid I thought it was because I had to find surf somewhere (RBY and FRLG were my primary exposure to the series before this so given the precedence) so I wandered around for literal days while my friend insisted I need to get a rhydon so it can learn surf through level up (it doesn't learn surf through level up)
Mt coronet was cool though, never had a problem with it
