Vaniville Town

Your adventure starts with a Fletchling flying up to your room to wake you up. Once you are in control of your character, you have the option of exploring your room and changing the settings for your game. Press X and select Options

Options Menu

In the Options menu, you can change the settings for the following:

• Text Speed - speed of how quickly messages appear.
• Battle Effects - you may choose to turn Battle Animations off or on. If battle animations are off, you will only hear the sound effect of damage and not the animation of the move itself. Turning the Battle Effects off can help speed up your gameplay when you are level grinding.
• Battle Style - There are two options for Battle Style: Switch and Set. Whenever an opposing Pokemon faints, by default, you will be asked if you want to switch out your Pokemon. This battle option is the Switch option. If you choose Set, you will not be asked if you want to switch Pokemons. The battle will proceed with whatever Pokemon you have already in battle.
• Battle BG - this option lets you select different wallpaper to be used on the lower screen during battles.
• Button Mode -You can use this option to set the functions of the L button. You may disable both L and R buttons, set L button with the same function as A or leave it at Default. Leaving the settings at Default lets you use L and R to switch your lower screen between Syper Training, PSS and Pokemon-Amie
• Forced Save - Here, you may choose wheter or not you must save before PSS battles and other communication features.

Select X or Quit if you want to go back or Confirm to save changes in the options.

Vaniville Town

Once you are ready, you may head downstairs to proceed with a cutscene.

Upon reaching the first floor, your mother would tell you to change out of your Pajamas. Simply head back up to your room and proceed to the front of the mirror in the middle of the room and press "A".

After changing, you may head back down and leave your house to the south.

When you exit your home, you will be greeted by your neighbors Shauna and your rival (Calem if you chose to play as a girl and Serena if you chose to play as a boy). You will then be told to meet up with other trainers in the next town. The town's exit can be seen from the entrance of your house, it is the exit on the other side of the wall to your left.

Route 1: Vaniville Pathway

This path is pretty straightforward; there are no tall grass and no people. Just head straight to the next town to proceed.
