Survival Area: Difference between revisions

'''Survival Area''' (Japanese: '''サバイバルエリア''' ''Survival Area'') is an area in [[Battle Zone|northern]] [[Sinnoh]] accessible after completing the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]]. It links {{rt|225|Sinnoh}} with {{rt|226|Sinnoh}}. According to the in-game text, it is a place where ''"{{pkmn|Trainer}}s gather to work out and hone their battling skills."'' Survival Area is also a training place for those who lose in the {{si|Battle Tower}}/{{Gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}}. There are only five buildings in the Survival Area, including a [[Pokémon Center]] and [[Poké Mart]]. In the southernmost house, the {{player}} may obtain {{TM|42|Facade}}. In the westernmost one, [[Buck]]'s grandfather lives. The last house, inhabited by a {{tc|Hiker}}, is reachable only via {{rt|226|Sinnoh}}. In {{game|Platinum}}, this hiker acts as one of the game's three new [[Move Tutor]]s.
