Motostoke: Difference between revisions

Vertically, the city also consists of a lower and upper tier, but there is little overlap between the tiers. The lower tier consists of the right and bottom "sides" of the square plus half of the left side, while the upper tier consists of the top side of the square plus half of the left side. Two lifts are present to take the player between the tiers.

When the player first enters Motostoke, they must largely stick to the main road and cannot leave by one of the northern exits. The way to the Uniform Shop to the left is blocked by a group of NPCs, the path left of Motostoke Stadium is blocked by a group of fans excited for the upcoming [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]] opening ceremony, the {{rt|3|Galar}} exit is blocked by a League staff member, and the [[Motostoke Outskirts]] exit is blocked by a tired [[Flying Taxi]] {{p|Corviknight}}. This requires the player to enter Motostoke Stadium.

The player and Hop sign up for the Gym Challenge and the player picks their uniform number; they are then informed to book a room at the Budew Drop Inn in preparation for the opening ceremony tomorrow. (Upon exiting the stadium and upon approaching the front of the inn, two very brief scenes play where a League staff member shows the player the direction of the inn. After this second scene, NPCs no longer block any part of Motostoke and the whole city becomes accessible. The {{p|Wooloo}} at the [[Wild Area Station]] also no longer block the train tracks at this time.)

The inn's check-in desk is blocked by [[Team Yell]] Grunts; talking to any Grunt will have the team offer a battle, which the player may accept or temporarily decline. After all four have been defeated, talking to the receptionist will play a cutscene that automatically progresses to the next morning. (The player's team is healed overnight.)

Motostoke was mentioned in [[JN100]], where {{Ash}} planned to take a train there from [[Wyndon]] to meet up with [[Goh]] at the [[Motostoke Riverbank]], but he was distracted by the prospect of watching {{an|Leon}}'s latest battle at the [[Wyndon Stadium]] before he could do that.

The city reappeared in ''[[PASS05|Ooh Shiny!! Legendary Equipment]]'', where {{Henry}} and {{Casey}} registered for the [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]] at the [[Motostoke Stadium]] and visited the Budew Drop Inn, where they met [[Sonia]], before departing to [[Turffield]] in ''[[PASS06|Watch Out!! Strong Rivals]]''.
