Destiny Cavern

Destiny Cavern is the area where the player chooses his or her Pokémon starter. Each crystal signifies which Pokémon cavern type it leads to. There are a total of 31 starters to pick from. It was the start of the game for a few years, until the addition of the Summoner's Platform.

Starters
Below are the lists of all the current starter Pokémon and the locations they're available in outside of, if any. After choosing a starter and going onto the warp point, the player awakens in a wooded map leading to the tutorial in Exbel Woods.

Trivia

 * The tutorial is skipped completely if /giveup is done when a sprite is picked.
 * In 2011, the individual chambers used to use the same tiles as the main chamber.
 * Before the update on the 21st of January in 2019, Abra, Natu, Meditite, Rhyhorn, Phanpy, Hippopotas, Pachirisu, and Mareep were all starter Pokémon.
 * Togepi--and the rest of its Family--are now Fairy-type, but it was still included as a Normal-type starter.
 * Additionally, the area comprised of 7 areas consisting of 4 Pokémon from certain types.
