Welcome to the world of Pokémon. Everywhere you go, everywhere you step, the world we live in is inhabited by creatures we call Pokémon. Some people play with them; other raise them to do battle. This universe is governed by a plethora of rules, and it's here that you can read them before you start your adventure.

Every person professionally handling PKMN will need a license to go out and do what they do, and this is the place to get them. The application within holds all the information one will need to get such a license and, with any luck, you'll follow in the footsteps of the many great legends who came before you.

Once a thriving resort and nature preserve, Isle Eterna stands now to reminds others of the hubris of humans. An earthquake damaged the enclosures and set many of the rare and powerful Pokemon free, prompting an evacuation. It's been off-limits to the public for decades, and those who steal passage illegally often never see home again.

Don't be fooled by the name - the brook is actually a large river sweeping across the landscape to the ocean. Clearbrook City itself is a large nautical monster, sprawling across the western coastline. This is the gateway to Solara, and home to the first gym most trainers encounter on their journey.

The seat of the region's government sits within this city. Much like its name, this is a wealthy community, mostly populated by rich people. There's no gym here, but no one really minds. Anyone looking for a quick buck would probably be wise to challenge the rich young trainers looking to test their mettle, but be warned! In the shadows of the towering skyscrapers skulks an evil that seeks to break the spirits of the stupid and adventurous.

From Goldenview to Summitmist, the land gets substantially more uneven. Heading into the highlands, the hills that dot the landscape become larger and more numerous, and the climate slowly starts getting colder.
