Gamma EmeraldLittleroot to Mauville City is the only first-party named stretch in Early Access 1.1.9. Official copy names Littleroot as the start, Rustboro in the credits for rebuilt models, Slateport City on the hand-drawn HOENN MAP cursor, and Mauville City as the blocked endpoint. Three gyms sit on that path. Rematches unlock after the Stone Badge, Knuckle Badge and Dynamo badge from Pokémon Center 2F. This page will not invent a town or route table. The gallery below switches four official stills: the HOENN MAP, the Littleroot lab, the Pokémon Center, and automatic HM rock.

- Slateport CityCity · the official HOENN MAP screenshot labels the selected settlement.
- Mauville CityCity · EA endpoint. Roads beyond are blocked.
- Center 2FFacility · rematch desk in every town after Stone, Knuckle and Dynamo badges.

Four first-party settlements
The place list above is the whole first-party settlement set: Littleroot, Rustboro, Slateport City, Mauville City, and Center 2F as the rematch floor rather than a fifth town. Littleroot is the official start; the lab still is the documentary frame for that opening, not a creature binder. Rustboro is named in credits that thank MrShyGuyBuddy for rustboro models — store-page proof the city exists in the rebuild. Slateport City is the selected label on the official HOENN MAP screenshot. Mauville City is the official end of the finished path; roads beyond are blocked. Official copy does not publish Dewford, Petalburg or any other town as a confirmed EA stop.
Between those four names sit whatever unnamed roads the rebuild uses. Official copy does not list those road numbers. This page will not fill them from a competitor walkthrough. Hidden items and the hand-drawn map exist on the same field layer, but they do not add a fifth named city. Play until the map cursor and the roadblock match Mauville. That is the first-party end.
The official Poké Mart still is not staged on this stretch; it belongs with trainer tools. The gallery stages only the HOENN MAP, the Littleroot lab, the Pokémon Center and the automatic HM rock. Switching those four stills is a selected state, not a slideshow of invented towns. Rustboro stays a credit-line city until a first-party screenshot labels it the way Slateport City is labeled on the map cursor.
Stone, Knuckle and Dynamo gates
The three-row table next to the map is the rematch-gate set: Stone Badge, Knuckle Badge and Dynamo badge. The rematch NPC sits on Center 2F in every town Pokémon Center. The official Center still shows a two-level interior with a healing desk below and counters above. Badge names are first-party; gym-leader names are not printed on the itch.io Early Access page feature list. Community comments name Roxanne in a freeze report; that stays a player report on Known limits, not a store-page leader roster. Three gyms match the 3–6 hour slice. There is no fourth badge in official EA copy.
After each of the three badges, climb Center stairs in every town if you want rematches. The still shows couches, a healing desk and upstairs counters. Badge names stay as printed, including “Dynamo badge” with a lowercase b in official copy. The Center still in the gallery is the documentary frame for that floor. Official store copy for Early Access 1.1.9 is the 3–6 hour slice with three gyms and no fourth rematch gate.
What the path actually ships
Along the named stretch you get the lead/Ace follower, day/night encounter shifts, 8-hour real-time berries, automatic HMs, hidden items and the hand-drawn map. The HM rock still is the field proof: confirm on the cracked rock after you own the HM and the party breaks it without a taught move. The map UI is shown uncropped; this page will not slice it into town cards. Battles on the road are singles with a gen 6 split. Portable PC stays on the player, so Center visits are for healing and rematches, not box access. After Mauville the official roadblock is the end of the published path.
Automatic HMs fire from Confirm once obtained, which is why the rock still belongs on this path page. Berries take 8 real hours if you plant them between Littleroot and Mauville. Day/night can change encounters on the same roads. The lead/Ace follower walks those roads. None of those systems extend the map. After Mauville the official next chunk has no date.
Hidden items exist on this stretch with no item table. The hand-drawn map exists as the HOENN MAP still. Follower, clock, berries and automatic HMs all ship. Together they are the field layer you actually have between Littleroot and Mauville, not a national-dex overworld. Low-end PCs can hitch on async town and route loads along this stretch; that is an official known-issue note, so save before gyms and before you climb Center stairs. The launch film names the same Windows hosts this path assumes; it is not a third download or map and it does not add Dewford or Petalburg as first-party stops.
