[OOC] Pokemon: New World

[Dark Light]

@ToadRopes
I imagine costs will remain the same but it will be posted in the OOC first for joint approval.

[Dark Light]

So who wants a battle?!?!?
XD

I'm somewhere between feyhollow and central city, where I will catch a train to atana mountain range.

I'm looking at you new people ;)
because I need a victory under my belt.

@Dark Light

Hah I would but Tora doesn't battle unless challenged and her Pokemon approve.

Edit: Also Dark Light, don't you only get the bonus for that first post of tha day, not the sunset?

@Dark Light

Yep, that's what I'm doing with the new location I am going to posit that will be near Feyhollow.

My hope is that a bunch of people in Feyhollow will journey to this place next.

[Silver Fox]

It would be cool if we could create a map that we can all edit in where we want our locations to be/what they are

[Lugubrious]

Perhaps we can find some kind of program that could help with that.

For the consideration of everyone:

Name: Stillwater
Location Type: Township
Pokemon Types: Bug, Water, Ghost, Psychic, Dark, Poison, Rock

Lore:
A relic of the past can be found only about twelve miles southwest of Feyhollow Town: Stillwater, an antiquated fishing village. Standing at the delta of a river said to originate in the Atana Mountain Range, and propagated in the marshland that covers the area between Stillwater and Feyhollow Forest, this town is a quiet, remote place with a culture all its own.

If one has a desire to live the simple life, Stillwater is the place. Free from big-city hubbub, it is an escape from the modern world. Here, people may fish, farm, or make goods to trade in order to live. Many find meaning in their work, and in their role in the community. It is a close-knit, personable place, where people treat one another with family. Outsiders may be regarded with suspicion, for Stillwater's people are used to being looked down on by those who consider themselves sophisticated, but it is not an unwelcoming place. In fact, it is an extremely popular stopover location for trainers on their journeyers seeking to experience different walks of life.

Outside the village, the unique shoreline provides a prime location for adventure. Various remote dwellings litter its versatile terrain, from tucked away in chasms to perched on the edge of cliffs. It is home to so many grottoes, tunnels, and secret places that many consider it to be a natural labyrinth. Tales abound of hauntings and surreptitious dealings, from ghost shipwrecks to rituals of dark magic in the seaside caves. A large variety of rare Pokemon can be found here as well.

The inhabitants of the village attribute Stillwater's peaceable, slow atmosphere to a legendary Pokemon of the moonlit night, said to bring good dreams to people who treat one another well and bestow cruel nightmares on evildoers. Pokemon researchers conclude that the area is frequented by either Lunaala or Darkrai. Some visitors to the town, however, claim that the interference of the mysterious Pokemon is not as good . The town's old and sick, on the precipice of death, invariably disappear in the night only to be found stretched out on the beach in the morning. Missing persons -and even ships- are more common here than anywhere else in the region. However, these doubts are never substantiated; naysayers seldom stay for long, and none who've awoken suddenly in the night as if from nightmares have ever wanted to return to Stillwater.

Innsmouth much? XD

Anyone in the area Cici's in can talk to her if they want.

@Dusksong

Hey, I was wondering since @Dark Light is adding points for the sunset. Is this the correct? I thought it was 1 bonus for the first post of the entire day. I could be wrong, was just curious

@Silver Fox

It's sun rise and sunset. I couldn't tell you the exact post that Balthazar said it, but he did.

Also, for all of you:

New Location!!!

Name: Tefan Village
Location Type: Village
Pokemon Types: Fairy, Dragon, Psychic, Fire, Fighting, Ghost, Flying, Normal, Ground, Dark

Lore:
Far to the South of Both Feyhollow Town and Central City is the mighty volcano known as Mount Jerimus, where it is said Groudon himself rests.

This volcano is home to many different types of Pokemon, most notably Fire and Dragon types who live around the volcano’s crater and near its peak, while Fairy, Dark, and Ground types make their homes in and around various caves found all over. Inside the volcano is where the more gutsy Fire types can be found, mostly living around the inner edge of the crater, but they have been known to venture out of their lava heated home in search of both food and challenging fights.

Also known to live near the crater are a variety of Fighting types, though they live all up and down the dormant volcano, the heat the lava gives off providing an excellent endurance training area for them. Hikers have also claimed to see the legendary cat Entei around the volcano’s crater and even on the island of stone near the lava lake’s center, but there has been no way to confirm it.

Near the village is a graveyard that contains both the passed on of people and Pokemon from Tefan Village, and as such become a home for many different Ghost types, who enjoy coming out at night to pull a prank on passing living people or other Pokemon. If one listens closely durint the late hours of the night, one can hear the cry of Giratina, the Ghost Dragon type. Psychic types were brought in in an attempt to counter the both dangerous and entertaining Ghosts and eventually took to living and breeding locally.

In and around the village is where you will often find a plethora of Flying and Normal type pokemon, who opt to stay away from the Volcano due to all the other types that live there.

[Lugubrious]

So does anyone approve of my location?

Zarkun, I like yours, though it does almost make mine completely obsolete in terms of types available.

Ight thanks for letting me know xD does it also include the level bonus? also, like your location

Zephyr Strip

Name: Zephyr Strip

Location type: Township

Pokémon Types: Steel, Electric, Ground, Dark, Ghost, Grass, Fighting, Normal

Lore:

The Zephyr Strip lies to the west of Central City; the site is a large town built around a shopping center based in a long-abandoned electric train. The train has been renovated with new lighting, new reinforcements, and newly-refurbished interiors, with the outer paint job left untouched for that rustic feel. As it houses a shopping center, it is a popular tourist destination, not only for the shopping but for some of the folk tales of the potential haunting of the train itself. The train is situated inside of a train station laden with vines, though since the area is inhabited, there is often hedgework done to trim those vines down (courtesy of local services provided by the Zephyr Maintenance Company’s Bisharps and Pawniards). The shopping center houses a shop per car, and they are lined up and well-lit in an easily-organized fashion. From boutiques to restaurants to souvenir shops to bookstores, you’ll probably find it all in the Zephyr Strip.

Around the station is a bit of a ghost town; nothing but expansive plains as far as the eye can see (though if you follow the tracks, you’ll meet a place where they converge with a rail line heading to Central City), with high buttes and mesas extending into the sky. In the northeastern distance, the Atana Mountain Range is barely visible through the haze. There are several windmills set up around the station, most likely to provide an additional source of clean energy. The dry plains house a plethora of Ground, Normal, and Grass type Pokémon, with the occasional Poison type slithering through the grass. The more inhabited areas, especially those under the roof of the station and the train, will see Steel, Electric, Dark, Fighting, and Normal Pokémon, though in the furthest recesses of the train and the station, there have been reports of ghost Pokémon skulking about.

Sometimes the power would flicker, and people who live around the Zephyr Strip attribute it to the mischief of Pokémon like Rotom and Electabuzz, whose interactions with power sources and electrical devices would lead many to conclude that this is so. Notably, this is treated as a sort of routine event for the locals. However, people have been reporting hearing strange noises from the train’s decrepit locomotive. Like… scraping? Some have even seen a dark, rubbery tentacle pass by the window once or twice. There are rumors that it’s a Pokémon not of this world, and that there are actually multiple in there. They insist that Deoxys couldn’t possibly be stuck in a train for that long, but others say that it certainly is not Deoxys.

I didn't know you posted a location, so I went back and found it. Looks good.

In terms of types available, there's going to be overlap, that's just a truth we'll have to accept.

@Zarkun@Lugubrious Both locations look good to me!

@ToadRopes

Looks good. Good to see a place for electric.

I'll probably make a location a little later

[Zarkun]

@ToadRopesYour location looks good to me as well.

Side note, perhaps with Locations, we should just go for location variance versus types available? Cause there's only so many types of Pokemon.

[ToadRopes]

@ZarkunI think a variance of biomes will be most beneficial to the world of this roleplay.
