Sootopolis City
I was reliving the nostalgia of Sapphire the other day, and I remembered when I first played how difficult it was for me to find this darn city! Steven told me to meet him there and I was like "Sure! OK!" And I went around that island about seven times before it occurred to me that I should check underwater. :embarrass
Did anyone else experience this "duh!" moment, or is it just me? |
[SIZE="a"]I was the exact same way.....I got so mad at that place xD[/SIZE]
|
I had a guide, so I didn't quite experience that one. :P
|
Even trying to find it after figuring out it was underwater was a pain! xO As an eight-year old, it was extremely confusing..

I think I had found it already because I was exploring, so I was just like "o ok see ya" and flew there haha. So no, I never had one of those moments.

I found it by accident right after I had gotten dive. So I was lucky haha.
|
I never had that problem because whenever I get a new game, I tend to over explore it and go everywhere I can, so like Syd, I had already found it. And then all the times after, I already knew where it was then.
|
Well that was the only Gen I used a guide, but even if I didn't it seemed fairly easy to find once you start Surfing south of Mossdeep. Then head west and there is a circular deep portion. And I kind of new this was an area to get Clampearl anyways so I just dove and found the entrance at the south portion of the Dive area on 126.
|
I usually cheat or ask a friend...lol
|
I had a guide, so... but I would probably be pulling my hair out if I didn't have one. At least you can fly through the crater opening after the first visit... using Dive each time would be a royal pain...
Why must so many towns in these games be so bizarre? |
I don't remember having too much trouble finding Sootopolis the first time, but whenever I replay any of RSE, I always get lost whenever I encounter that string of sea routes. Even if it is fairly obvious which area to Dive in to get to the city...
|
I was actually looking for Seafloor Cavern when I just got Dive, but I ended up finding Sootopolis City instead... that's actually one of my least favorite cities just because it's too difficult to find and the inside is really confusing too. Imagine if you lived there. You would have to have a flying or water type Pokemon just to visit somewhere else... kinda like Hawaii.
|
I can't remember exactly why I was using Dive, but I know I found Sootopolis by accident like a few others did. I didn't have a guide, so I was lucky that I didn't have to spend too much time looking for it.
|
Oh yes that place was so annoying xDD
I can't recall what happened back then but I kept on looking on the Town Map if I was there already and I would get annoyed if I'm close to Sootopolis and couldn't find it yet xD |
When I played RSE for the first time, I had yet to discover the internet. So it took a while for me to find a way to get into Sootopolis. I wandered around aimlessly and ran around for a few days before I asked a friend of mine, and he just told me to dive. And the rest is history.
|
Oh yeah I had a lot of trouble to find it... I was pretty young and I didn't think I had to dive at all. I used Strenght and every other HM I could on the giant rock but obviously it didn't work... Thanks to my older cousin I reached Sootopolis City after he explained me how to do ^^'
|
First time playing Ruby I was surfing around like a jackass looking for Sootopolis City It was like if a tour submarine was heading there the tour guide would say " and here's a jackass who can't get to Sootopolis" cause I was there so long.
|
I can't remember if there was a character that hinted it was underwater or if it was sheer luck that I eventually found it but I remember it took a while :D I'm pretty sure I kept looking at the map going "But I'm ON it!!! It should be here!!" lol :D

I had a guide too, so it wasn't that bad! |
I had already figured out mathematically where it was, my problem my very first time was not being able to defeat the Mossdeep Gym with a level 65 Sceptile, a level 40 Mightyena, and a bunch of Pokémon for revive sacrifices lol.
|
Omg I think I figured out that it was underwater, but not where, so I kinda dived in just before Mossdeep and wondered why I couldn't find it. XD; Yeah I didn't search very far at first lool.
