• Decoration: Interact with the Gameboy in your room to arrange your Pokémon Dolls.
• Visits: Your new home feels alive! Daisy might drop by for tea to heal your team, or Bill might visit to grant you access to his secret Garden.
• Pidgey Rewards: Keep an eye out for a friendly Pidgey that occasionally leaves gifts.

New quests

• S.S. Anne: The cruise ship returns with a deck full of new trainers.
• New location: Snorlax Mountain at Route 22, (not technically a mountain, but rather a cave) where you can find wild LV. 30, 60, and 90 Snorlax.
• Rematch Gym Leaders as many times as you want (Yujiro replaces Giovanni).
• Catch all 151 Pokémon to unlock a battle against Professor Oak at the League.

All accessible after selecting a new home and talking to Bill:

• Complete your Pokédex in brand-new “out of bounds” areas: Bill’s Garden, Mystery Cave, and extended Routes 0, 1, and 21.
• Find the Secret Long House on Route 25 to receive the Skateboard!
• Recover missed rewards with NPCs in the Mystery Cave: get the alternate Mt. Moon Fossil (Dome/Helix) and the Fighting Dojo Pokémon (Hitmonlee/Hitmonchan) you didn’t choose.
• Visit the Museum on Route 1 West to see prototype and rumored Pokémon.

Version Exclusives & Completion

• Celadon Version is split into Red and Blue editions. While each maintains its original exclusive encounters, all 151 Pokémon are obtainable in the post-game by exploring the Mystery Cave and Bill’s Garden.
