Birth Island: Difference between revisions

'''Birth Island''' (Japanese: '''たんじょうのしま''' ''Birth Island'') is a location near {{isl|Six}} and [[Seven Island]]s in the [[Sevii Islands]], accessible in {{game2|FireRed|LeafGreen|Emerald}}. It can only be accessed after downloading the [[AuroraTicket]] through [[Mystery Gift]] and sailing there by talking to the {{tc|Sailor|sailor}} in front of the [[Seagallop|Seagallop Ferries]] in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, or by boarding the [[S.S. Tidal]] in Pokémon Emerald.

Like [[Navel Rock]], Birth Island does not appear on the [[Town Map]]{{sup/3|FRLG}} by default due to its [[event]]-only status, only appearing when the player first arrives there. This is in contrast to the other Sevii Islands, which do appear on the Town Map before the player has visited them. It also never appears on the [[PokéNav]]'s map.{{sup/3|E}}

Upon first arriving at the island, the {{player}} is only greeted with an inert black triangular rock. To make {{p|Deoxys}} appear, the player must solve a strange puzzle by following the rock: each time the rock is interacted with, it will move to a different position on the island, and the player must perform the shortest possible path to the rock's new position. Each successful interaction will cause the rock to glow more; the puzzle is solved once the rock returns to one space above its original position and glows a bright red. Interacting with the rock in this state will cause it to shatter and Deoxys to appear. If the player fails to follow the shortest path before the puzzle is solved, interacting with the rock will reset the puzzle, moving the rock back to its original position and reverting it to black.

* While Birth Island does not reappear in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, it is referenced near the end of the [[Delta Episode]]: after {{me|Rayquaza}} destroys the meteor, a triangle emerges, darts about in the same pattern as the puzzle on Birth Island, and then breaks apart, revealing Deoxys.
