The Distribution Center

[Managrimm]

The Department of Pokemon Distribution is the place many new trainers come to get their starters. Trainers must make an appointment and are added into a group of other trainers who will be receiving their Pokemon at the same time. Waiting times can vary between a few days to a few weeks depending on the flow of new trainers.

Beyond the entrance to the building is a moderately-sized lobby. White walls, plush seating and the most recent Pokemon-related magazines decorate the room. Directly across from the entrance is a reception desk.

The following information can be found on brochures distributed to aspiring trainers.
