They really gloss over the fact that everyone living in and around this route will develop horrible lung cancer, huh?

yep and hoenn babies still think it is a cool place to live
also there is the fact that wally was nearly dying from the ashes
Why so obsessed?
There is no disease in Pokemon you fricking moron. Just take a full heal.
Then why was Wally sick?
he didn't have enough unsupervised adventure yet
His parents are antifullhealers
Why do you think he uses super potions in victory road? Buddy won't even use a full restore.
He actually had Pokerus. That’s why he started getting stronger after finally training with his Pokemon.
Weak lungs, no seriously, that's literally his plot.
OP, the only cancer in that area is the number of steps you need to collect enough soot to make anything worthwhile
Clearly he was in a place where the air wasn’t tasty enough
He was just autistic
What if the reason Spinda is crazy is cuz their brains are fricked from the ash
Probably that and all the toxic smoke
Volcanic ash is harmless
Not if you're constantly breathing it in
It is literally shards of glass, that shit tears up your lungs
It's not and the game makes a very specific point that Verdanturf Town has the cleanest air in the Hoenn region, with its map description being "Thanks to the prevailing wind pattern, this town is always kept clear of falling volcanic ash."
Wally stays at Verdanturf Town to improve his health, and leaves when the player collects their 5th gym badge from Petalburg City.
The fact that Wally can recover from his illness with his brief stay in Verdanturf Town, suggests he has something like acute bronchitis or asthma. That in turn suggests that the volcanic ash contaminates the air in most of the Hoenn region to some degree, but that most people can tolerate it without it impacting their health.

So is Hoenn actually one of the worst regions to live in?
Yes, just like how zoomers are the worst generation to ever exist
in unova, kalos, alola, galar, and paldea the most common cause of death is being raped by a pack of wild Black folk
trying too hard
It's probably a case of the local fauna adapting to survive in a given environment, generations of people living there will probably be okay but tourists, immigrants, or descendants of immigrants may have health problems.
It's ironic because doesn't Verdanturf also have a cave in it?
The town with the "cleanest" air must be pretty low bar
Rusturf Tunnel, yeah
Why do people state completely random wrong things as fact
not if they're neets
>Here kid, run around in the soot and I'll make you a sweet flute
I don't even remember wally being sick
and the little girl is sneezing when you talk to her
>I don't even remember wally being sick
Wtf?
i believe his family members in petalburg and verdanturf both mention him being ill
I mean, aren't humans in Pokemon stronger and more resilient than irl humans? Some even develop psychic powers. I could see them just being biologically adapted to the environment, same as the pokemon living there.
>area is described as being cold due to the lack of sunlight
>available pokemon don't reflect this
should have had Snorunt here as a 1% encounter or something
>every cold area must have ice types
yes
>Hoenn
>poorly designed
pick 2
hoenn dwellers are simply built different
Since we're talking about Emerald maybe somebody could help me. I haven't picked up the game a few months, I do remember I just got the goggles that let me enter the desert, May says shes near here at some old ladies house. I've explored every inch and have no idea what to do. The tower is inaccessible due to a collapsing floor, when I go south all I find are trainers waiting to ambush me and TM37. I don't know what to do.
you have to go back to petalburg and fight norman
Cancer doesn't exist in Pokemon.
It’s literally just a cool idea for a location in an adventure game you’re not supposed to think about it
