I need help, /vp/.
Doing a blind nuzlock of Sun, but what exactly is defined as a new area or route is getting way too fucking vague. Initially, I was just going by whether it was a separate area in the Rotom Dex map, bounded by the yellow boundaries.
However, I just got to Route 2. The Hau'oli Cemetery is part of Route 2, but its name pops up in the area, and catching a Pokemon there shows that you've met that pokemon at Hau'oli Cemetery, NOT Route 2. This is different from the Trainer School, whose name does not pop up on screen and whose name does appear in a Pokemon's summary, so it still fit with my original criteria.
Here's the thing: I like a challenge. Using just the Rotom Dex would give me less Pokemon (and more attachment), which would normally be fine, but I feel like i'd be missing out on this game's variety of pokemon. Hau'oli Cemetery, Berry Fields, Verdant Cavern, Ten Carat Hill... all ignored.
What do I do??
