Upon taking a step onto Route 203, a scientist will approach the player and give them a [[Pokétch]], though it contains only the digital watch app and no other apps.

The player is then free to explore Route 203, though it is modified from the final version of the route that is in the full version of the game. Specifically, obstacles have been added to prevent the player from accessing the tall grass and encountering wild Pokémon. Three trainers stand in the way of the player, which the player may either fight or avoid: Youngster Roland (who uses a Level 23 Buizel and a Level 23 Mantyke), Lass Carrie (who uses a Level 23 Chatot and a Level 24 Pachirisu), and Youngster Norman (who uses a Level 24 Kricketot and a Level 25 Cherrim).

Upon reaching the end of Route 203, the player meets with [[Professor Rowan]], and may speak with him to cause him to instantly evolve the player's Roselia into Roserade, with Rowan commenting that several Pokémon are able to evolve in the Sinnoh region that were previously thought to be unable to evolve.
