Hello guys! I've created this guide to help players who have trouble going through the Hoenn Region because it can be a bit tricky!
Here, you will be guided from the beginning of Hoenn to the Pokemon League!
I hope you can get through the Hoenn Region easily with this guide!
Here are the guides from the previous regions!
▶︎ KANTO WALKTHROUGH BY JOLLYOLNATHAN ◀︎
▶︎ JOHTO WALKTHROUGH BY SUGARRED9 ◀︎
Spoiler
First of all, you need to level up an OT Rattata to Level 80 to be able to go Hoenn. Once you've finished leveling up your Rattata, head to Victory Road and battle Youngster Joey. To challenge him, you'll need your Level 80 Rattata. You have to beat him to progress within the story. His team will consist of 6 Level 120 Rattatas.

Nothing special in this route. Just go up to Oldale Town.

In Oldale Town, there is only one interesting thing which is this NPC. They will give us 5 Potions and 5 Pokeballs!

After obtaining our first gym badge, talk to the npc right outside and he will tell us that someone stole the devon goods. Agree to help him out and go to Route 116.
At route 116 we will find several trainers and we will also find this old man who will tell us that Peeko, the Wingull, is in the tunnel!
Inside the tunnel we will find Team Aqua and Team magma which we will have to defeat to save Peeko and recover the devon goods!
Once defeated, the old man will tell us that we can find them on route 104. Return to Rustboro city since we now have the devon goods!
Return the devon goods and go to Devon corp, which is to the left of the gym to speak with Mr. Stone on the last floor!
Mr. Stone will tell us to give a letter to his son in Granite Cave!
Spoiler
To go to Dewford Town, we have to go to the old man's house at route 104 and he will take us to Dewford Town for 2.5k.
Once at Dewford Town go to the route above and you will find Granite Cave!
In Granite Cave, we will need a pokemon with flash to be able to traverse the cave easier, but it is not necessary because the cave is very small! CATCH AN ONIX, THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR LATER
Once the cave is over you will meet Steven to whom we will have to deliver the letter!
Return to Dewford Town and head to the gym!
Spoiler
In the gym, we will face Brawly to get our second Badge!

We will reach route 109 in which we will find many trainers! Keep going up to be able to enter Slateport City!
Now that we are in Slateport city, we have to go to the museum. Unfortunately it is blocked by some reporters. To unblock the path go to Slateport Shipyard which is below the museum and talk with this NPC!
And now the museum its clear!
Enter the Museum and you will find Team Aqua/Magma grunts. You need to go to the second floor and battle with Jackson!
Defeat him and go to Mauville City!
Spoiler
At route 110, you'll find May and you need to beat her Be careful and buy a lot of potions, as this will be one of the most difficult battles!
Once you beat her, follow the path to reach Mauville City!

Spoiler
You need to go to Route 115 and go to Rusturf Tunnel and use rock smash to go to Verdanturf Town!
Nothing special in this route, so we can go to Mauville City through route 117. In this route we can find the daycare center, a few trainers and free pokemon in the water but we need HM Surf first. The Master Ball there is simply an easter egg and cannot be obtained.
Once we've reached Mauville, head to route 112 again and go to the cable car station.
Spoiler
At Mt. Chimney, there are Team Aqua/Magma grunts and Jackson blocking the way again so we need to defeat Maxie first in order to progress!
Once we defeat Maxie, Jackson will steal the meteorite. He is not blocking the way to Jagged Pass however, so we can proceed.
There is nothing really important at Jagged Pass, so we can head straight down to Lavardige Town.
Spoiler
At Lavaridge Town, we need to beat Flannery to get our fourth badge!
Congratulations on getting our fourth badge, the HEAT BADGE!
Once we defeat the gym and get our fourth gym badge, we will find May and she will give us the Go-Goggles. The Go-Goggles will allow us to explore the desert at route 111, but there is nothing of importance there at the moment.
Head back to Petalburg City so we can challenge Norman.
Spoiler
We need to go back to Petalburg city because we can enter the gym now!
This gym is kinda hard because there are a lot of battles and you can't skip them!
After getting through the rooms, we will finally battle Norman to get our Fifth badge!
