Contest: Design a Gym! - Submissions

[Christos]

Design a Gym! #1

Introduction

A new Gym is opening up and you've been employed to design it! Let's get down to business. You have three weeks, until April 3rd, to submit a map of a Pokémon Gym of any type. This is the ROM Hacking section, but your map doesn't necessarily have to be made in a ROM. After the submissions round is over, members get to vote and decide the best Gym!

Awards

During the voting period, users may vote for the Best Gym Design and Best Gym Puzzle. The Gym with the most votes in each category will get an emblem, and it's possible for a Gym to win both categories.

​

Rules

• One Gym entry per member
• Members can give feedback and comment on the entries in this thread
• Participants may vote, but not for their own entries

Signing Up

Just post here with your entry and the following information! Remember the deadline is April 3rd.

Gym mapshot: a URL to the map of the Gym with the Trainer NPCs and Leader in it. It can also be attached to your post.

Oooh awesome :o. In the details, does the puzzle we describe have to be actually functional or can it just be a "if I could manage this" kind of thing?

It can be anything! This is a design contest so any puzzles are allowed, even if the actual implementation would be hard to manage.

Cool idea. I'm awful at designing gyms so I won't join in but wish luck to anyone who does participate. I do have a sneaky suspicion that Christos is just running this so he can steal gym ideas for Eclipse because he's uncreative.

 

[esperance]

Cool idea! Definitely want to give this a try. I was going to complain about broken emblem images but then I realized you're still working on them :P

Coincidentally I just finished creating new tiles for a really cool gym idea I thought of, and this thread just appeared today. I'll definitely be sure to enter this.

It's just a Gym map making contest. You could submit a Gym map from your hack, if you're working on one. But you don't have to participate if you find it hard!

Yorkshire City Pokémon Gym

Leader: Abbott

Type: Normal

Puzzle:
None (as it is a basic Pokémon Gym)

Description:
The Pokémon Gym of Yorkshire City also serves as the local church, both of which are run by Abbott, trainer battles with the congregation are optional.

The map itself was made mostly with the use of Advance Map, however, the paper on the walls, the Cross and corner on Abbott's right side were edited through MS Paint, along with the Gym Guide.

Cool gym making contest I am entering

Gym mapshot:

Spoiler:

Pokémon type: Dragon (or fire?)
Details (optional): The map is pretty big so I'll do a walkthrough of every floor. This is the final gym of the region so I tried to make it a little more challenging and longer than most other gyms.

First floor:

Spoiler:

The first floor is a simple map with only 1 trainer in it. after defeating the trainer you receive a hint to one of the later puzzles

Second floor:

Spoiler:

On this floor you walk forward and fall down the hole (the holes aren't visible until after you step on it).

Basement:

Spoiler:

Falling down the hole leads you to this floor under the first floor. you need to hit the switches in a certain order so that the rocks all go up so you can walk through (this puzzle is similar to the original games where you hit the switch and the doors open and close).after getting through both puzzles you have a double battle. defeat them to move on and receive another hint to the next puzzle

Second floor:

Spoiler:

Now you are back to the second floor (on the top left side of the room), defeat the trainer (who gives you another hint) and continue to the door on the right.

First floor:

Spoiler:

This is a different area of the gym but is still located in the first floor. To get through this area you have to walk through the pillars in a certain pattern so you don't fall down the holes (the holes aren't visible until you step on them, also falling down takes you back to the basement where you have to walk all the way back again and a trainer awaits you to battle). The first trainer gives you the hint to solving this puzzle. He tells you that the only way to get through is to view the room from the statues perspective. so pressing the A button on either one of the statues asks you if you want to see from the statues view. If you say "yes" then this map appears:

Spoiler:

You get a view of the same room but from a different perspective, so from this view you will notice the flags hanging on the pillars which show you the path you need to take (it will show you this view only once so you need to memorize it). Exit out of the map and navigate downwards until you reach the stairs at the bottom

Second floor:

Spoiler:

This room is also located in a different part of the gym but is still considered as the 2nd floor. defeat the trainer to receive the last hint to the final puzzle and continue up the stairs.

Third floor:

Spoiler:

This is the last puzzle of the gym and basically all you have to do is enter each door in the correct order. The last 4 trainers you faced all had hints as to which door you need to enter and at which order you should enter them. the hints consist of math problems where the answer is the number of times you need to count the doors and from which door to start and what direction you need to count them in. for example if the first answer was 10 and the trainer told you to start on the second door from the right and count 10 doors left or right or back and forth (example: count 3 doors to your left, then 7 to your right). Then you enter the next 3 answers and count the doors in the correct direction to take you to the next room. This puzzle is a bit difficult to explain so I hope that everyone was able to understand it.

Fourth floor:

Spoiler:

The gym leader is located on the fourth floor and is blocking you from finding out the location of the Pokemon league. defeat him to receive his badge and enter the door behind him.

Fifth floor:

Spoiler:

on the fifth floor you encounter your rival who tells you that he has found the location of the Pokemon league and will be waiting for you there for one final battle.

Sixth floor (roof):

Spoiler:

This is the highest floor in the gym, the reason the gym is so big and why you need to climb to the top is because the Pokemon league is on an island lost at sea and the only way to find its location is from the highest building and at that particular spot (where the gym is located). look through the binoculars to find out where you need to go next.
