Emotional Spectrum Practice

Emotional Spectrum Practice, or ESP for short, is an exercise activity formulated by Tulip to help one become more beautiful. ESP regimens are taught by Dendra at the eastern side of town at the base of the observatory. The player must participate in two ESP sessions, featuring 10 and 15 rounds respectively under standard mode rules, as part of the Alfornada Gym Test. In subsequent visits, Dendra will continue to offer ESP sessions, in two different modes: Standard and Knockout.

During an ESP session, Dendra will prompt the player to press either the X, A, B, or Y button before a short timer expires. Each button corresponds to a color-coded emotion that the player must mimic, and it is possible for the same emotion to be chosen multiple times in a row. If the correct emotion is given, the timer will pause briefly, and the current round will be marked as a success even if the player later switches to a different emotion. No penalty is given for expressing the wrong emotion, and the timer will keep running while still allowing the player to switch to the correct emotion. It is possible to input the correct emotion multiple times in the same round, but this does not provide any additional points.

Standard mode offers four different courses of increasing difficulty (more rounds and a shorter timer per round): Nice 'n' easy, Moderate, Vigorous, and All-out. This mode will end in failure if at any point the player has accumulated seven more unsuccessful rounds than they have successful rounds, and no reward will be given in this case. If the player reaches the end of the session without having too many unsuccessful rounds, they will receive various Berries as a reward.

Course	Rounds	Successful rounds required to finish	Time per round	Reward
Nice 'n' easy	15	5	3.0 seconds	3 copies of one random Berry:  Cheri Berry  Chesto Berry  Pecha Berry  Rawst Berry  Aspear Berry  Leppa Berry  Oran Berry  Persim Berry
Moderate	20	7	2.3 seconds	3 copies of one random Berry:  Lum Berry  Sitrus Berry  Figy Berry  Wiki Berry  Mago Berry  Iapapa Berry  Aguav Berry
Vigorous	30	12	1.6 seconds	3 copies of one random Berry:  Liechi Berry  Ganlon Berry  Salac Berry  Petaya Berry  Apicot Berry
All-out	40	17	1.2 seconds	Same as Vigorous, plus one:  Lansat Berry

In Knockout mode, a single unsuccessful round at any time will end the session. Dendra will continue for a maximum of 151 prompts, divided into phases of increasing speed. After each phase, there is an opportunity to rest, in which the game will not proceed to the next phase until the player presses any button.

Phase	Rounds (cumulative)	Time per round	Consolation prize for failure during this phase
Phase 1	10	3.0 seconds	None
Phase 2	15 (25)	2.3 seconds	One copy of a random Berry:  Pomeg Berry  Kelpsy Berry  Qualot Berry  Hondew Berry  Grepa Berry  Tamato Berry
Phase 3	20 (45)	2.0 seconds	3 copies of a random one of the six Berry types above
Phase 4	25 (70)	1.3 seconds	5 copies each of two random Berry types from above
Phase 5	81 (151)	1.0 seconds	10 copies each of two random Berry types from above

Completing all 151 rounds causes the player to be rewarded with "an assortment of Berries"; this consists of 10 copies of each of the six Berry types that can be given as consolation prizes, plus one  Starf Berry.

Origin

Main article: Pokémon world in relation to the real world → Paldea

Alfornada may take its inspiration from the Moorish art and architectural heritage of southern Iberia, particularly that of Andalucia of Spain and Algarve of Portugal. Southern Iberia is also notable for its tradition in the production of ceramics and potteries, with roots in Hispano-Moresque ware. Ceramic art is used extensively as decoration throughout the architecture of southern Iberia; examples include colorful ceramic tilework and the tradition of hanging painted ceramic dishes on exterior walls.

The armillary sphere may be a reference to the one featured on the flag of Portugal.
