    Default New region help

    I have had an idea for a future fic I am going to write. And I need your help.

    It will be a journey fic. The main character is a girl called Jade and she is embarking on a new journey in the region of "Rikken" (Ree - Ken). It will be a mainly southern country so there will be an icy part.

    List of things I need:
    Official name and idea for the fishing town.
    If you want to have routes, you'll need to come up with anything interesting about them (not too much).
    More information on some things like pokemon.
    There's not much left. Just general things and artwork.


    Characters:



    Locations:



    Gym leaders:


    Elite 4:


    Pokemon - Currently 62 - All are shown - None more needed



    [/SPOILER]

    I extend my hand to the marvelous authors of this forum. I have read your works and I know that your imagination knows no bounds. Can you help me create a region? I will dedicate the series of fics I intend to use this region for to the gracious people who choose to help me on this audacious task.


    So Im asking you once again Bulbagarden - can you help me?

    You mentioned in my fic how there's never a dark type gym.

    Make a city called Gotham City which has a Dark type gym led by Bruce.

    Luna sounds like a good Dark Type leader name, with her badge being the night badge or the Moon badge

    As Drakon said, I think a city naming theme like most main series games have is a good idea.

    As for new Pokemon - be careful. You have to describe them really well and don't introduce them too quickly. Try and use existing Pokemon too so that the reader doesn't have to remember too much. The problem with writing fanfiction is that by the time you post each chapter, most readers have forgotten everything but what only just happened and the big details, so you have to constantly remind them. Never forget that no one knows your story as well as you do, it's easy to forget that some readers will find it hard to remember what happened 20 chapters ago and is about to become super relevant. Make sure the Pokemon are really memorable!

    This is a very ambitious project!

    Also, if you want names, we already had a couple of topics out there dealing with the issue. Behind the Name has the category of color names (assuming Jade is named such after the color), as well as mineral ones (if it's otherwise). And then there's Behind the Surname for all your last name needs

    ...and the Pokedex made from scratch will be hard. I saw Jabberwocky trying something like that up in his blog, though, so perhaps you could ask him for some tips?



    I'm also attempting to write a new region up myself. I went around the Dex need by having the region being originally empty of all Pokelife, so they had to import them from the very kind nation that has the regions of Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh *lazy*

    If this is your first fic, you might want to start out with something smaller, to make sure that you can really stick with the project.

    I'm not saying you can't do it, but I haven't really seen you around here, and don't know what you're capable of, so don't mind if I make a few preliminary assumptions.

    The word "quadragonal" is the only word with "dragon" in it where "dragon" is not a root word. That makes it awesome.

    Past Thunder

    As you can see, this isnt my first time, and I have written a few offline things too.



    Now I think about it, I could do with not creating a whole new pokedex. Instead, I will still use a lot of pokemon but what Ill probably do is include a few must haves in any pokemon game - Magikarp, Zubat, others.


    And Luna sounds great! Thanks!

    People of Bulbagarden!

    I have made a decision about changing something due to a friends idea.
    Ive chosen to change the whole mske up of the natursl journey fic by amping up Jades age. Somewhere in the late teens, I havent wholly decided upon it so I am partial at the moment.

    My friend pointed out,'Wouldnt it be better to have your character as a teenager. That way, if you get the chance you could have "intimate moments" as well as throwing out the old concept of being 10 years old.

    Im sure somewhere along the line Professor Oak said that it was never too late to go on a journey.


    Anyway, just tossing it out there, let me know what you think.

    I think its a great idea. In my own region (still in progress as well), I made it a mandatory rule for new trainers to be 15 years of age. After all, what numbskull decided a ten year old could travel the world? *Sweatdrop.*

    Also, in answer to your first post's questions ... I'd suggest having a mix of common and uncommon names, so your character doesn't just blend with the crowd, but also so it doesn't practically jump up and down holding a sign that says "Focus on me!". Considering it is a modern fanfiction, at least. Odd names are more accepted in medieval and before time frames.

    I'll also provide a condensed (if you want the whole thing, and original version, just say so) version of my world building sheet for you to work with. It should give you an idea of stuff you'll need:

    "Name of world Here"

    Plot:
    Mapping: (Generally left blank until I complete the map)
    Government:
    Facts of Interest:
    That was -extremely- condensed, as most of my world-building sheet is for fantasy worlds, but, its a start. As for your characters ...

    This sheet will take you a long way. It took me a while to get it right, but you'll be amazed at what you can learn about the people in your story. Not saying you have to use it, as smaller CSs might be your style, but I'm just trying to put resources on the table for you.

    Something about the other information you're asking for, though ... Idea bouncing is one thing. Donated or requested ideas to be included are along those lines. But coming up with your own work, and pokemon, will be far more satisfying. Its time consuming, yes. But it'll ensure you won't want to give up on it.

    I'd also suggest going to 20,000-Names.com for finding names for your characters and places. Its a life saver.

    @ SeleneHime

    Thanks for the ideas. Any contribution is grateful. You have actually given me a great idea for a pokedex as well.

    And the idea of a map is a great idea I never thought of. *facepalm*

    And another thing, I never thought of a government. But Ill put that up later when I have more information on the region itself.

    Oh, and, thanks but no thanks in reply to the whole thing. You've given me plenty of ideas with just that.

    *Nods.* Glad I could help, Flygon.

    Hehe, a map is something I've grown to love. It keeps me from making errors with my own landmarks and such. Hand drawn or computer made, either way, they're dead useful.

    No problem. Just trying to help.

    In the world of anime, all protagonistic monster trainers are ten years old o_o;

    Just look at Digimon, Bakugan, Duel Masters, Dragon Drive (no wait, Reiji's 15...)

    Well, maybe not all, but you get the idea. It's not abnormal.
