>>55249282>Nowhere is it implied that the MC moved to Paldea from a different regionIt's not that you didn't even play the game, you literally don't even know how the first 15 minutes of the game go. Nemona literally points out in her fourth line of dialogue that the MC is "the kid who moved up in the road."
And no one around Paldea recognizes the MC as someone who lived in any of the prior towns or areas either, so logically speaking, the MC's mother moved to Paldea for the sake of the MC's enrollment to stay in relative proximity to her child.
