Dang...
I'm speechless honestly, as that looks really good.
The Unknown town at the Gates of Nazeru was made up, so it looks good, and the Unknown Zone to west of Pagras is what I would call the Fields, or something in that regard.
Also, I did place a little thing north of the gates as sort of a "Dragon's Den", or perhaps representing Darklight Depths, as I thought that would be the best place for a Dragon Gym.

Oh why thank you.

And oh that was an actual location? For some reason it registered in my head as a kind of "this goes here" to the canyon where Nazeru's Gate is o.o

I can add it in now, sorry. ^^'

Also, I didn't add the route from the farmlands to Hammerhold cause I feel like the player should have to start back at where the other game starts when they go to the other side of the region. As in, the Frontiers game would have to take a boat from Buccaneer's Den to Southport and go from there, and the OG KR would go down into Lopah from Valardul, even though both methods of travel would open eventually.

That map is perfect. wow...

8-9 The Royal Bridge
28-27 Repear's Trail
27-25 Volcano Pass

Awesome map, better than what I could have done I think.


A thought on cover legendaries.
Pokemon Kingdom - A great knight in armour, huge sword and shield, a Kingly down and flowing cape. Something mighty, royal and proud. A Creator of Kingdoms. Definitely Steel type, could be paired with anything (but Psychic would work well)
Pokemon Frontiers - A vagabond of the desert. Mysterious, wrapped in rags with twin, long thin swords. Something rough and scary, ready to take on anything. A Leader of Nomads. Probably Ground/Dark or Ground/Fighting.

I'll have a think of a history/plot we could go with.

Lol'd a little at Re-pear's Trail. Also, shouldn't Volcano Pass be from 26 to 27?

Any suggestions for the Mammal?
Mine is a Normal/Poison Shrew, or, if we wanted to be real interesting, a Normal/Rock Rhino, though that may be better for a later-game Pokemon.

Capybara, Field Mouse, Gerbil,

Could just be Normal, they usually are.

I vote a Hare. Could be Normal Fighting.(Note Bunnelby is rabbit not a hare there is a difference)
We could also do an Otter, Horse, Wolverine, Honey Badger, Noraml Badger, or a platypus.
Otter - Normal Water -> Normal Water
Horse - Normal -> Normal
Wolverine - Normal -> Normal Ice
Honey Badger - Normal -> Normal (Because honey badgers are immune to poison, the ability should be toxic immunity)
Badger - Normal -> Normal Ground
Platypus - Normal -> Normal Water

A normal ice type would be pretty unique. I think it should be something 'less canine' though, because the water starter is also a wolf-like ice type.

I think the otter and the platypus are a bit too similar to bibarel. The honey batcher might be too similar to zangoose, with the same typing and ability.

Also, are we doing mega's too?

I really think just sticking to Normal on its own would be good right now, since the bug is dual type, the birds are dual type, let's just have a boring rodent that everyone will catch then drop when something better comes along, rather than trying to make everything great.

Oh god, let's wait until we have more mon first before we worry about that.

I don't mind if it's just a normal type, but I don't like rehashing the same fairly high speed, lackluster damage, horrible bulk physical attacking rodent number 9. Like, Gumshoos. He has a good design, a decent movepool and even a strong signature ability, but what does it matter if it's going to get OHKO'd by literally everything in the game because of its shitty defenses and horrendous speed? There is almost no reason to ever use Gumshoos, both in-game or competitively, so he might as well not exist as a pokemon. He's mostly a meme now anyways.

I mean, we can at least make the 'useless rodent' usable in-game, make it a little different than the others. It doesn't have to have the greatest stats, but there should be something about it that makes it worth using and something that makes it different than the others. Like, making it a special attacker. That would suffice.

What about something like a Hyena that uses lots of sound attacks? They'd all be special attacks and it could have a signature attacker based on laughing that lowers special defence or causes confusion.

That sounds pretty cool imo.

Yeah, let's go with that. It could have uproar, hyper voice and disarming voice. A signature attack that confuses is pretty cool, like a special version of dizzy punch.

Sounds good. Wild dog first form, Hyena second form. They'd fit perfectly into the desert but not the forests and fields, so we could do with another mammalian pair to be on the other side of the mountains. I think the idea of a Hare could be good and make it a physical attacker with lots of kick moves?

What about a kangaroo? That's similar to a hare, but it would make a little more sense with the kicking theme. It could be both too, like the first stage is a hare, and the evolution could be have some kangaroo-ish features to make it more intimidating.

I guess it would be a fighting type, with moves like jump kick, high jump kick and mega kick. Maybe punching moves too, as if the hare/kangaroo was a kickboxer.

A mix would be better, having a straight up Kangaroo in the open fields and farms seems a bit odd.

I think we're moving a little slow, so I have a suggestion. There are multiple biomes on the map, so everyone just comes up with one idea for each biome. Be it just a concept, or a type combination or a semi-formed idea. Then we have a whole bundle of ideas to work with.

Biomes:
Fields (Pagras)
Forest (Silveroak)
Urban (Inner City)
Ice Mountain (Stormcloud)
Wasteland/Volcanic (Wastes)
Haunted (Rotwick)
Desert (Hammerhold)
Beach (Port Tortuga)
Jungle (Lost Jungle)
Cave (Darklight Depths)

I realized that there isn't much potential for post-game content as it is, so I added an Origins-themed, high-level island on the southwest portion of the map with a Battle Frontier.

...Anyways, that's probably all I'll do for the game world, as this is mostly a pokedex project.
