So there you are in Emerald, ready for rumble and adventure and you just reached Mauville City. MUH CROSSROADS
You happily stroll to the right one, oh wait no surf for you, so it's a dead end, let's go the left there will be surely something kewl there, oh wait, nope, it's just a previously unacessible shortcut to Rustboro. I guess the only way to progress is up. Rev up dem Pokemons because you'll be needing Wattson's badge to progress up!
Literally the only difference between Gen 3/4 and BW is that BW is not HM reliant nor does it require backtracking
