I think this'll be fun for everyone, Now that i know how to make region maps in the D/P Style. Lets have a little fun with this and make our very own region map shaped by ideas submitted by everyone. Heres the openings, to submit: Town or City: Say the Shape of the City (plus, rectangle, Square, Huge Square.) And where you want to plot it (Do you want it as the city that contains the 8th gym or the first from the starter town do you want it to be a place with a gym at all?) There'll be 16 openings for cities and towns 7 will be cities 9 will be towns Everyone can submit ONE of these Land Masses: Would you like to be mostly land mass or a chain of islands, or BOTH! This one you vote on up top. Heres some examples of different kind of regions others have made: And Of Course My own: Those are some land concepts for you to think about before you vote Next part: Lakes; how many lakes do we wanna have (1-4) and where (but i think we'll need to decide that later) Next step: shape: do we wanna have it very mountainous and articulate or just simple. Of course more articulate maps are always more interesting to look at. So those Anything you can think of that i left out just mention it and i'll add it. Until then, please submit!

They all look so nice. This one caught my eye: This is a map of Shikoku Prefecture.

I voted for Major land Mass Island Region (with some islands), because it reminds me of Hoenn.
Hm, I have an idea to add to this.
To make this region more interactive, we can assign members as gym leaders, trainers, etc., and battle challengers through wi-fi. Of course we need more members to pull this off.

Of course, hopefully by the time we have enough members to pull this off, my team would be ready.

I guess you didnt undertsand what this was about. The idea was to create a region based off our own combined imagination. It originally had nothing to d with a WI/FI battles but ok...

I'd prefer to see a huge archipelago, a bit like the Orange Islands, or the in-game Sevii Islands, only with huge roads connecting them. If anyone's driven down the Florida Keys (awesome experience!) then you'll know what I mean.
EDIT: And I wouldn't mind the whole 'League' thing, it could tie in with James' thread about what Gym leader type you would be. I'd need to do a few more though, so I'd need notice. I only have two of my 'gym' squad ready for battle.

Well, I'm in total team overhaul mode, so I don' think that this would be the best time...

I'd like the landmass to be loosely based on Australia, which is pretty much a massive island with some smaller islands around it (Tasmania, New Zealand, The Cook Islands and Papua New Guinea).

I understood the point, and I posted what I voted for in my first post. I was trying to add to the idea with the league (and/or contest) idea.

Guess we could just for kicks but please submit more to this than just what shape you want, i want us all to put our heads together and come up with a friggin awesome concept! Saying that I say to suffice for those who want a major island land mass how bout we start off with this concept. Reason why i say this is B/C we still get the Major Island, but we also get smaller islands (and a second land mass) as well. At least this is until someone votes for yet another. How bout we have a Sea in the middle of the Land that has a bunch of small islands inside? ^-^

New Zealand is unique in the sense that it hosts every type of geographical terrain, from Volcanic areas to Icy wastelands. This would be perfect for housing all 17 different Pokemon types.
If our region was an island continent, like Australia, but had the geographical variety of New Zealand, I think we'll have a winner.
I would also suggest we have several islands around or within the main island continent, and a larger island further out, this could be the Pokemon League or an extra area after the player completes the game.

God, I want to emigrate to New Zealand eventually...
This sounds like a really good idea. LV, the 'inland sea' plan sounds good, but it might be better to have the main landmass sort of 'horseshoe' shaped, instead of ring-shaped. it would just seem a bit more realistic.
Oh yeah, I liked how Sinnoh seemed to have every habitat. Caves, Oceans, Rivers, Marshlands, Mountains, Arctic wastlands, Desert... the list goes on.
Oh yeah, I know I suggested it, but once I've finished the National Dex (thanks to James ;D ) I will commence breeding the gym team I listed in the thread James started. I think we could really make this work!

I couldn't say it better myself. Just make sure that the land mass is large. Vurtax - The map you suggested is good. We just need a few modifications to it. Such as adding a bit more islands to the southwest group of islands.

Well I got no complaints about the place. It fits virtually everyones wants and it could be able to provide the habitat for all the types like James said.
I guess I could start with mine gym team as well. I just need to collect some more rare candies.
