===Tracking scientist===
The way to {{rt|102|Hoenn}} is blocked by a researcher upon the player's first visit to Oldale Town. The scientist is sketching what he believes are footprints from rare Pokémon. Until he is done, west is a no-go. This is to ensure that players challenges his/her rival on {{rt|103|Hoenn}} and receives a [[Pokédex]] from [[Professor Birch]] before they continue with their journey. When the player returns, the researcher sheepishly stands aside, after concluding that it was his own footprints all along.

{{Ash}} and {{an|May}} arrived in Oldale Town in ''[[AG002|A Ruin with a View]]'', where May dropped off her weakened {{TP|May|Torchic}}, who had a bad confrontation with a family of {{p|Azurill}}, {{p|Marill}} and {{p|Azumarill}}, at a Pokémon Center. Later, they met up with [[Professor Alden]] who was studying the nearby [[Oldale Ruins]]. They had a small confrontation with [[Team Magma]], who wanted to explore the ruins for themselves, but they didn't find anything in the ruins and escaped. After that, Ash and May left Oldale and set foot for Petalburg City.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Oldale's Japanese motto is {{tt|なにかが かすかに はじまる ところ|Nanika ga kasuka ni hajimaru tokoro}} ''"Where things start off scarce"''.
* There's {{DL|List of glitches in Generation III|Poké Mart clerk oversight|a bug}} involving the [[Poké Mart]] clerk in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}.
*A glitch involving the PokéMart worker exists in {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. If the player has not yet received the Potion from the worker and speaks to him with a full bag of items, the worker will remain in front of the PokéMart at the end of the tutorial; despite not giving the player a Potion. Leaving Oldale Town to {{rt|103|Hoenn}}, returning and speaking to the worker will cause the tutorial to reactivate. This causes both the worker and the player to walk through the building and into the trees on the north edge of town.
