  Details Within

   
  The game starts with a conversation between Reshiram and Zekrom regarding Wish Park . When the game begins, you meet Piplup who wishes to go to the PokéPark and will show you the way. This acts as a tutorial and will end in a Chase
  In this game, there's a certain strength level for each Pokémon (you only begin with Pikachu). There are also a number of collectables which you can check within the pause menu. These are things such as Crowns, rocks etc.
  Edit @ 12:43: When you move on, a Timburr arrives and challenges you to show you the skills. Unlike the last game where each move was mapped to a separate button, all moves are mapped to the 1 button. Hold it to charge your move, Quick Attack normally and various tackling moves when close up.
  Edit @ 12:13: The first area you enter is the Port Area beach where a Krokorok is telling everybody about the Wish Park. Piplup ges intrigued by this and goes to listen in. He decides that we should go to the park, so you go to talk to Krokorok. You meet Oshawott on the way there, but he doesn't join you yet. You immediately enter Wish Park
  Edit @ 12:19; Gothita is the first Pokémon you encounter in the park and it requests you follow it to an Attraction. Follow it and it'll take you to Cofagrigus, which guards the first attraction which is the cake based one shown in the first images The attraction starts off in a 4x3 grid where Patrat will come up with several plants. Shoot the plants using the IR function on the Wii Remote
  Green plants are worth 100 points. Red plants are worth 300 points. Gold ones held by Watchog are worth 1000
  Edit @ 12:14; Turns out, the food in Wish Park is making the Pokémon act strangely. Cofagrigus and Yamask are the ones offering the food. However, as Pikachu and Piplup are cornered, Oshawott appears. Pikachu gets challenged by six Yamask, all in a square. Your task is to knock these Yamask out of the field in the time limit and not get your damage below 0. Once done, Cofagrigus gets reprimanded by an unknown force which sends two arms out to get Pikachu, Piplup and Oshawott. Pikachu and Piplup get trapped, but Piplup sacrifices itself and pushes Pikachu and Oshawott back to PokéPark.
  Edit @ 12:35; Once sent back, the area becomes free to explore, but Oshawott wants you to follow him
  Drilbur is found in the area if you can find its Cleffa PokéDoll. It battles you afterwards. Patrat is looking for its ball. Give it to him and he'll be friends with you. A Pidove is thirst and requests you to take it to the nearby fountain. Once done, it'll start a chase in order to befriend. Wingull will now appear.. Axew challenges you to a chase. Win and Fraxure appears.
  Oshawott takes you to see the area leader; Samurott
  Edit @ 12:43: Oshawott will challenge you to a battle at Samurott's request and if you win, Oshawott will join you. You can switch with the A button. Once switched, you have to look for an Alomomola who knows there wherabouts of Sandile and Krokorok. Find the right one, and it'll challenge you to a chase and let you know the way out of the Beach area. A Female Frillish appears afterwards which challenges you to a chase. Defeat her and a male one appears in the water. It'll challenge you to a hide and seek match
  Edit @ 12:49; Timburr will send you to the house in the middle of the area where a platforming puzzle exists. These puzzles require switching the Pokéon you use in order to get to where you need to go within the time limit. At the end of this one is a chest with some items Timburr needs. Once done, you can exit the area
  Edit @ 13:00; In the Port Area Town, Meowth will offer you money for the various gems Misdreavus requires you to retrieve an item from the box on the roof. Give it to her and she'll allow you to save pictures to your SD card. Maximum of 72 at a time Tranquill will challenge you to a game of chase Audino raises strength for individual Pokémon for a small price (100 for Level 1) - Adds Trubbish and Minccino to the area Raichu challenges Pikachu only to a battle and will raise your moves up a level Musharna is on the roof and will provide information
  Edit @ 13:17; Minccino says that Trubbish has taken stuff from him. It starts a chase match. Defeat it, and you befriend them both Corphish is found in the pipelines to the left, it challenges you to get to a chest in time, then if you do, it will battle you Speak to Krokorok and it will challenge you to a battle, but this time, its Sandile friend will be behind you and ready to attack you if you let your guard down. Defeat it, and you will befriend it and Sandile and can go back to Wish Park. In an area easily accessible from the entrance back at the Port Area beach, you can find Fraxure and Petilil. Fraxure battles you but Petilil gives you a two second race. Now, you can return to Wish Park, when you arrive at the entrance, all the Pokémon you befriended join you. From there, you need to shake the controller and if you succeed, the door shall open.
  Edit @13:30; Once there, you see all the Pokémon there again, not in their right mind. Go to Cofagrigus and he'll send you to the attraction again where your target is 30,000. However, the attraction now goes from the plant grid before into the cake game You need to hit the ingredients twice to make the cake Normal is 100 then 300, dark is 300 then 600 and gold is 500 then 1000. After achieving it, Cofagrigus will challenge you. It will stand on a tower of cakes and you need to destroy the tower while many Yamask appear to attack you. After that, it will challenge you to a battle
  Edit @ 13:44; Blitzle will increase your speed when moving, this can be augmented by shaking the Wii Remote to dash. Dewott will enhance your moves similar to how Raichu enhances Pikachu's
  Edit @ 14:19; Battle Krookodile and you can go to the next area; Flora Area. Filled with Grass and Bug-types In Flora Area, you will meet Snivy who will aid you in your quest by taking you to see Serperior. Serperior will send Snivy out to look for more information and when you find the Snivy, it will ask to join you using a Tag Race.
  Edit @ 14:55;In the Flora Area, you need to help various Pokémon and end up jumping into the tree stumps to do another platforming puzzle in order to get a piece of the poster that gets you back to Wish Park. There, you get challenged by Bisharp and his Pawniard
  Edit @ 15:07; Second entry to Wish Park has you take Zorua to meet Zoroark. However, as soon as you get there, Gothorita forces you to battle Zoroark. Follow the area up and you'll reach the Attraction; Gorgeous Dancing. Already explained, it's a rhythm game where you have to do gestures with the Wii Remote in time to the music
  Edit @ 15:43Mini-battle against possessed musical equipment, and then a battle against Chandelure with his Litwick and Lampent allies. Defeat them and Gothitelle, Gothorita and Gothita will appear and tell you more about Wish Park. The bridge will open and will allow you to it the bell and heal the Pokémon. You can now return and are told to go to the Rock Area Servine and Pignite are now in the Port Town in order to teach Snivy and Tepig their moves, even though Tepig isn't obtained at this point. Once in Rock Area, you'll meet Victini who will tell you that Tepig is in the area. You will find him in the cannon in the middle. Take the special box to the cannon and it'll fire, releasing Tepig. Battle him and he'll join
  Edit @ 16:18; Once Tepig is a part of your team and you've spoken to Emboar, it's another platformer bit by going into the cannon. Once you get the stuff there, you can progress to the second part of the Rock Area In there, you'll find Rhyperior who will challenge you to a battle where you need to knock him out of the ring
  When you get to the end of the Rock Area, a Hydreigon is causing hassles and Emboar asks you to defeat it. When you do, it gets cornered and opens a new portal to Wish Park, where it an Haxorus take Victini. You need to follow and battle Haxorus, after a short obstacle course of Pokémon. Next is the Slash Fight attraction. As said, it's a simple flick of the wrist when Pokémon appear and A button press when bombs appear Victini will be released afterwards, but Gothitelle has captured Piplup.
  Edit @ 18:17; Into the Scrap Area...the final area of the game if the dex is anything to go by. Have to go see Conkeldurr, beat him, and then head back to the Timburr in Port Area's Seashore. Return and you have to move all the trains using Pikachu's electricity
  Edit @ 18;42; In the second area of the Scrap Area, you need to do a simple platform puzzle to move the platforms on the roof so that you can reach a doorway and then find Klink, Klang and Klinklang. This leads to the third area in Scrap Area, the first area to have three areas within it.
  Edit @ 19:16; After a platform puzzle in the third area, you go to the Wish Park. Face Sigilyph in the race attraction (another high score - collect all the gems; 20,000 points needed), then there is a obstacle course where you have to climb a tower, facing off around a dozen Pokémon, then a final boss battle against Sigilyph. Wish Park's four areas will then merge together. You go up, face Piplup and then get trapped by Darkrai
  Edit @ 19:55; After the Darkrai stuff, you find yourself alone and having to re-recruit Oshawott, Snivy and Tepig in the various areas, Then, you go back to Wish Park and return to the main room where you face Darkrai. Once defeated, he will suddenly grow and challenge you again where only projectile hits will work. Cutscene about saving the parks from the blackhole begins and credits roll Now the story is done, I shall get to work on the core of the coverage, the sections, the exploring (I only have half of the listed Pokémon)
  Edit @ 20:37; Endgame still has story in it. First you have to see all the Area Masters about various legendary Pokéon. Tornadus being one of them, found within the Port Town Seashore
  Edit @ 21:15; Thundurus is then found in the Rock Area and Landorus in a brand new area called the Arinaka Area (Checking my translation) which is filled with new Pokémon
  Edit @ 21:46Once having obtained all three genies, you get a bit of rock which can summon Zekrom within Wish Park. There, you can defeat him. In Lake Area, you can awaken Reshiram if you have collected 20 of the feathers that are found around the game. Defeat and credits roll again
• Edit @ 16:43: Added a preliminary page for the Available Pokémon. This page will be updated as more discoveries are made
