[break][break]

Your search for the Petalburg Gym starts at the Petalburg Visitor’s Center, a small, quiet building stocked with pamphlets, brochures, and beautiful color posters of Normal-type Pokemon. The kiosk marked ‘Tourist Information’ is run by a small, nondescript middle-aged woman with frizzy black hair. She has a kind and eager personality and is more than happy to tell you all about Petalburg City and the various activities you can do here.
[break][break]


When you ask who to contact about arranging a challenge with the gym leader, she seems surprised. "Oh!" she says. "It is me…"

[break][break][break]

Traditional battles will be conducted in the historic Petalburg Gym. With its sliding-door tatami rooms and warmly lit interior, you're sure to feel refreshed and at home even as your Pokemon battle for your personal glory. Historically, this gym functioned as a sort of labyrinth, compelling a challenger to find the correct route through a series of tatami rooms to access the interior.
[break][break]

There are four types of challenges at this gym. Please choose carefully![break][break]

• IF YOU JUST WANT THE BADGE > Choose Traditional
• IF YOU WANT A REAL BATTLE > Choose Classic
• IF YOU PREFER MINI-GAMES > Choose Modern
• IF YOU SEEK A GREATER STORY > Choose Progressive

[break][break][break]


To acknowledge the past while showing an understanding of change and progress. This gym aims to strike a balance between old and new, history and contemporary. Pay tribute to tradition, but don't let it hold you back from embracing the way things are now.

TOURIST TRAP

[break][break]

Feeling trigger happy? Enjoy a guided Open-Top Bus Tour of Petalburg City and try to snap some Insta-worthy pictures of Pokemon!

[break][break]

This is a mini-game based on Pokemon Snap. Each turn, a Pokemon will be generated for you to try and photograph. Line up the shot by rolling two dice (one for the horizontal axis and one for the vertical axis). The perfectly-centered shot is 50 | 50!


[break][break]
During the city tour, your character will be given a disposable camera with 5 free pictures. The tour will end after the 5 photos have been taken. You may bring one partner Pokemon with you for company on your tour, who you may also choose to photograph. Classic tourist.
[break][break]


After the tour, the gym leader will review your film. Spectacular photos suitable for tourism brochures, Petalburg Magazine, or Michi’s personal Instagram may merit a Gym Badge. For this reason, it may be best to prioritize Normal-Types, Rare/Unusual Pokemon, Hoenn Pokemon, or the Gym Leader's "secret" preferences.

CHALLENGING

DUNGEON CRAWL

CUSTOM MECHANICS

[break][break]

[break][break]



This dungeon crawl is styled after Pokemon Mystery Dungeon and involves battle, exploration, and story progression. During this challenge, you will delve into previously-unexplored parts of Hoenn that have historically only been accessible by Pokemon.

[break][break]


You will not play your character during this challenge. Instead, you will play as your character’s Pokemon as they work together in a team of four to uncover lost secrets, ancient artifacts, and entire hidden worlds never witnessed by mankind. The challenge is similar to a Pokejob, but will be consistently moderated as players progress through the story and collect the required items.

[break][break]


This is primarily a resource management challenge. Four players must work together to complete the objective without running out of resources, which are consumed by taking actions over the course of the thread. You may encounter enemies, obstacles, and difficult choices. You may also acquire unique loot, items, and information that can be used during the challenge.


[break][break]

Success is not guaranteed. It is expected that some players will be eliminated or forced to turn back due to poor resource management.


[break][break]

This challenge may be undertaken multiple times, and any items gained in previous challenges can be kept and used again.

[break][break]


All players who complete the Progressive gym challenge and successfully deliver the objective back to Mickey will automatically receive the badge for their efforts.
