This is part one of our official Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl complete guide and walkthrough, which outlines everything you need to know about Twinleaf Town, choosing a starter, and making your way to Professor Rowan's lab in Sandgem Town.
After booting up 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:ꦏPokemo🎃n Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl and watching your inevitable (r𒁏e)introduction to the world of Pokemon, you’ll wake up in Twinleaf Town and start your very own Pokemon adventure. ꦑWell, sort of - there’s a little bit of housekeeping you have to take care of first.
After you go downstairs and chat to your mam, you need to head to your rival’s house. which is the one in the top left corner of the village. They’re a bit of a busybody with far more brawn than brains, so they just sort of✅ burst out of the door with a THUD! and scurry back inside. Follow them in, head up the stairs, and watch as they threaten to fine you $1 million if you take too long to meet them north of the village.
Head towards the path at the top of Twinleaf and reconvene with your rival, who will now start following you. From here, head northwest to Lake Verity, where a cutscene will play. The next time you resume control, you’ll be tasked with picking either Chimchar, Piplup, or Turtwig to fight a couple of Starly - if you’re indecisive, we’ve got a whole separate guide for 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:which starter you should pick. Beat back the Starly, watch the ensuing cutscene, and head back towards Twinleaf where you’ll bump into Professor Rowan and his assistant, either Lucas or Dawn depending on ♛which character you chose to play as.
Rowan 𝄹will ask you to visit his lab after realising you and your rival used the Pokemon in the briefcase. Before heading to the lab, you need to go back to Twinleaf to talk to your mam, who will give you a pair of Running Shoes to ensure you no longer move at the pace of a particularly elderly Magcargo. When you leave Twinleaf this time, head right instead of left and continue along Route 201 until you make it to Sandgem Town. Once you arrive, head into the lab and chat to Rowan. The professor has generously decided he’s going to allow you to keep your Pokemon - how lovely! He also gives you a Pokedex and tasks you with locating each and every kind of Pokemon that can be found in Sinnoh, which is a bit less lovely.
Leave the lab, chat to Rowan’s assistant, and head back to Twinleaf to let your mam know about the adventure you’re about to embark on. Right before you leave, your rival’s mam will come in and say they forgot their Town Map - d’oh! She reckons they’ve legged it all the way to Jubilife by now, so naturally that’s your next point of call. For your next steps, be sure to consult part two of our Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl walkthrough: 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Jubiliꦆfe City and the best🍨 early game Pokemon.
