Why I went
Imari gave me a useful humble-town counterpoint to Hoenn's larger stops, with enough character to make a short stay still feel meaningful.
Diary log
The nice thing here was how little it needed. A few streets, a steady pace, and the place started to tell on itself.
Trivia
Oldale is a connective kind of town, and the best match for that is somewhere that feels naturally lived in rather than spectacular.
