Pokémon Emerald walkthrough/Littleroot Town

verdana 'Littleroot Town might seem like any other humble hamlet, but someday the whole world will know that this was where you began your quest to become the greatest Pokémon Trainer ever! Professor Birch, who lives here, will give you your very first Pokémon – that's one down, 201 more to go!'

Humble Beginnings
Like Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, you'll start out in Littleroot Town, a quaint little town located in southwestern Hoenn. Hoenn's region-exclusive professor, Professor Birch, has a laboratory in the town used for research on Pokémon. The only exit is due north, leading to Route 101 and Oldale Town beyond.

You'll arrive in Littleroot after completing the opening. Your truck will screech to a halt, and then you can step out.
