Yes, a layout of the towns would be nice. Are all the gyms in order, are there towns in between? Are there gyms we'll pass by that we need to skip and come back to later? *Cough* Norman and Giovanni *Cough* A list of the Gym Leaders' names and their Pokemon would be nice, too.
Also, since this is Anime-Style, rather than an Elite Four, I assume we'd fight through a tournament first?
