Too-early-morning bump with my latest map, "Zapling Woods". Or maybe "Overgrown Path", not sure yet. The woods contain Grass Pokémon with Stun Spore, and Electric Pokémon who don't seem to mind the dangers of Paralysis at all.
The idea is an easy path from Point A to Point B, but with those pesky Cut trees in the way (and no HM01 until after the first gym), you'll need to meander and zigzag around the wooded hillside to get back on the road to the first town.
You'll notice the geography of the right side might resemble something or someone familiar. Suffice it to say, those berry patches hold Cheri berries, red berries that protect from Paralysis, which a certain Pokémon with the Static ability might impart. The hidden grove is accessible from the town below, and is the only location in the game to hold that certain Pokémon. It's Pikachu. You knew this.
The house contains the first Fisherman you'll run across. I hope to make the Fishing Rod much more important in this game; if you see a body of water that looks suspicious, it's probably a Fishing Hole. Hint: That bit of ocean on the right side has wild Chinchou.
