This place is the ultimate challenge for a trainer: all NPCs give you advice because they themselves are trying to reach the same goal as you, some try all the facilities while others focus on one; the economy is based on BP because everyone is a top tier trainer, so the only things they need are the ones to improve their teams; you can have your own student who improves and battle with/against you; they even put a secret cave there to make the island feel more alive
