Buried treasure
Once you've got the Explorer Kit, a whole new world opens up to you: The Sinnoh Underground. By using the kit in certain areas, you'll be able to enter a huge mine system that spans the entire continent. At first the Underground doesn't seem like much beyond a mildly amusing diversion - you can make a little secret base, buy items to decorate with, and set traps to annoy any friends who might be spelunking with you.
But what the Sinnoh underground really has to offer is treasure and lots of it. By using the map and touch screen, you can locate many places where you will be able to mine for valuables.
