Hello!
I came back after a 4-5 year long break from the game and i tried to do the pinkan island quest after i returned few weeks ago. Problem here is that i follow the walkthrough from the internet and followed all steps from step 1 but the NPCs i need to talk to, do not trigger any quest related dialogue. I then went to pinkan and searched all spots for the hidden rockets to fight them. To my surprise i found one of them (that i prob didnt fight back then) and fight him so i got access to the cliff after this fight. (To mention at this point that it could be that i started this quest before i stopped playing around 2019 but did not finish it then) so now that i continued the quest i can enter the cliff area but there is no other team rocket or giovani to fight and i could keep my pokeballs the whole time. I also dont remember handing in a 90 lvl Scyther for the ranger and the ranger just tells me that i am free to enter etc.
Could you please check if there is a bug here or am i good to go? Just want to make sure that i am able to encounter pinks there before i start grinding.
Below are some screenshots that i have made maybe it helps you understand better.
1st pic : I had no access to the cliff area before fighting the hidden rocket and the guards there would not let me through. So i entered the cliff area for the first time and the pics that follow show there were no rockets nor trainers nor giovani to fight.
2 pic cliff area entered first time.
3 forest ranger at the entrance of the forest area
Please confirm if i am good to go here or there is any kind of problem?
Sorry if this was posted in the wrong group or if there is already a similar thread. Could no find any similar issues online.
