No sea routes?

It looks like there's no clear route between the island in the upper right and the mainland. Does this mean free surfing?

Discuss.

no i don't think so you probably still surf or there will be a boat to take you there

Just because you can't see them doesn't mean they're not there. Every main handheld Pokemon game has had Surfing. This will be no different.

I noticed that myself, it could mean more open routes, ferries, or whatever. I'm sure we'll find out soon enough :D

It would be cool if you can surf all the way to johto or some other place:)
I think there is a sea route but they might have hidden it.It can be an underwater sea route.surely the only major games with no sea routes are big console games like orre and whatever.

Honestly, I don't think we'll be able to go to johto/hoenn/kanto. (wasn't that confirmed? Since they lie so far away)

That's a bit of a downer, though. I loved it in G/S/C that we were able to go to Kanto too.

on topic: To be honest I can't really remember (a picture would be nice?), but if it's in the beginning, I'm guessing we'll be using a boat. But Surf will be in the game, why wouldn't it be?

Maybe you go there by a ship like you went to the Battle Frontier/Tower -_-'
If you look at the non In-game map there is a port there.

What are you guys talking about?
I looked at the map and there are some routes that go over sea in the north eastern part.just because the routes on the map are still orange coloured doesnt mean there not water.

I think it would be good to have some sort of underwater tunnel that you could walk through. With water pokémon swimming along outside the glass.

...is it just me, or does the route that straddle the east of the map seem to be a sea route? Either that or that's one thin strip of land.

Considering we've had sea routes in every game so far, I would suspect we'll still get them. Remember that video of the overworld in action? There's a body of water right at the end of it. It would highly surprise me if we do not at the very least get to use Surf on any of the routes.

Eszett:Its not just you,I thought the same thing.Im curious like a land strip that just goes directly up is ridiculous and unnatural looking.That has to be a sea route.
By lookms of it thought there are 3 lakes on the map.

Three lakes? YAY ME!! (claps for three hours)

I liked the surfing (besides the incredibly annoying tentacool and wingull and magikarp always popping up) so i hope its here in D/P

Yeah, that would be cool. Though I doubt they'll do it.

I agree with Eszett. We've always been able to surf, why would they ruin that fun for us? ;)

i would like to go to the orange islands though

and an underwater tunnel would be kinda cool 2

Yeah, I never quite understood why there were no Orange Islands in the games. I heard that the islands on FR/LG were supposed to be them, but they look differently, right?

It would be too random if you were able to go the the OI in this game, though. Since it has nothing to do with it.

Hmm...there probably will be surfing in the game. I can see at least one surf route (the one eszett pointed out). Thankfully, there seems to be much less surfing than in rse.

What's wrong with surfing?

.. except for the annoying Tentacools & Magikarps..

Ah hah!

Check the map. Notice the different colours of the sea. The ones that could hold possible sea links are LIGHT blue. Perhaps it is more open where you can surf from anyway near a light blue patch.
