Overview
The game mode is meant to be linear. There is FORCED ROUTING.
- The game is divided into segments, which comprise one or more routes/areas.
- Unless forced to by story, you must clear a segment in one attempt without healing at a Pokemon Center.
- You may use the Pokemon Center upon completing any segment.
- Healing HP, Status, and PP using items is allowed outside of battle.
- You may leave to use the PC (as long as you have defeated all mandatory trainers), but you may not return to fight the trainers for experience.
- All items hidden and visible must be picked up before leaving a Segment, or else they are forfeited.
- Any picked up item must be followed by an immediate decision if required.
- Wild pokemon may not be fought for experience unless allowed by a Prize.
- There is NO step farming allowed. This is applicable to moves like “Return”, or Friendship Evolution Pokemon. Also note: step items are disallowed in RogueMon.
