It has 31 pages and 11 full scenes, including the cover as its own scenes. These scenes contain Pokemon and key locations from the Sinnoh region.

Page-by-Page

These will be the pages that contain searching scenes. Solutions and errors will be available (hidden by a spoiler) below each page.

How I Like to enjoy these scenes is by looking for each of the 492* Pokemon one-by-one :) I find it incredibly meditative! I'll make a note of which Pokemon are missing from each scene so you can do the same!! The Pokemon Checklist (WIP) will also be a good tool to keep track of which Pokemon you have found and have left to find in each scene. Be sure to check out the Extras page(WIP) to see some of the other stories featured in these scenes!
