About the game
An enhanced version of Hoenn that adds what Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire lacked. Both villainous teams appear at once, and only Rayquaza can settle the conflict between Groudon and Kyogre. The largest addition is the Battle Frontier, seven facilities with their own rules and leaders, designed for players who find the Elite Four too easy. Gym Leader rematches and animated opponent sprites at the start of each battle were also added.

A diagram, not a world map: distances are not to scale, there are no coastlines, and a route that bends in the game is a straight line here. The directions are accurate, though — every connection matches the game. The legend below the drawing explains each symbol.
- Route — number inside
- Sea route — Surf only
- City
- Interior — cave, forest, tower; placed next to its entrance
- Path between places
- Path that requires Surf
- Entrance to an interior — not a passage to the other side
