Talk:South Province (Area One)

Bounds of Area One

The trivia section currently notes that the ocean surrounding Cabo Poco and the top of Poco Path Lighthouse are considered part of South Province (Area One), despite being in locations that are not part of it.

The reason for this is that internally, Cabo Poco, Poco Path, and Inlet Grotto are part of South Province (Area One) in the exact same way that Los Platos is. South Province (Area One) is the broad area; when there is a particular named area within it, that subarea's name takes priority. Otherwise, the game defaults to the broad area. That's why the ocean outside of the bounds of Cabo Poco is part of Area One. --SnorlaxMonster 12:17, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

Wiglett

I noticed that Wiglett (present on the small beach on the mouth of the stream between the lighthouse and Los Platos) isn't represented in the list of Pokémon. Is this beach not part of South Province (Area One)? (Pardon me if I made any mistakes, this is my first message on a talk page). Kaptein Fint (talk) 15:19, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

Reopening discussion. Wiglett is still not there, and it is stated to be there on Wiglett’s page. The same situation happens with Deerling (spring form). CyberDragonM (talk) 10:45, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

That's because Wiglett is a separate type of encounter compared to random spawns. It is a Wanderer/fixed spawn. 3 of them are coded to appear together on a beach whenever you visit it. I have the raw data on these fixed encounters, but my motivation to document them has been low for awhile.Brin (talk) 12:40, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

Same would be true for Deerling? CyberDragonM (talk) 16:52, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

Probably. If a sandwich power can't force them to spawn randomly, that means rose Pokémon are wanderers. Brin (talk) 12:40, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
