3rd Gen Secret Bases

[Mr Cat Dog]

My old thread - with the better title - died out, so I'm reviving it here. Describe any secret bases you have/had. Gogogo!

Well......at first, I thought the concept of a "secret base" was really cool, so I tried to make mine really unique.......And it ended up being an "every-day experience house" for my friends.

They were the best thing about the third generation games. Legit. The mats, the dolls, the plants, the posters, cushions, tables, etc etc. It was all amazing. It was like, a cute little safe haven from all of the hustle and bustle of the main game. It was even better when the Lilycove Dept Store would have the huge discount on all of those rare decorations. <3
Then you could buy a plank to get over those long holes in some bases and get an even BIGGER Secret base.

Wait......wha?!! I did not know that......I always complained that my base was so small......

I would always make them and then forget where I put them. Spend ages trying to find it, but nope.

And before that, my Secret Base thread died. :'( Why don't you love this section, guys?!

Anyway, Secret Bases were awesome. I would go out of the way to get a base somewhere that not many people could find or access. And I liked to decorate with lots of plushies and weird objects, like the music tiles and mub bombs. Fun stuff. :)

My secret base was around Fortree somewhere, with the virtually square room, but it was divided into two parts and was separated by a wall. I had a lot of plushies--and also mats, because I couldn't get them dirty or whatever--which were mainly from the battle frontier, since they had the large plushies. I liked the large plushies the best.

I actually tried to make it like a second home, so I had a few tables around with a poster or two. I never cared for the weird mat thingys, except for the bouncing ones because I always walked over them whenever I was bored.

From what I recall, my base usually ended up at the indent right next to one of the waterfalls on Route 119. The one that you can see on the bridge leaving the weather center?

One of the few things that R/S/E got right. Mine was in the big tree on the tiny island on whatever the cycling road route was. I remember I had the metallic-style furniture, several of the flowering plants, Meowth and Torchic dolls, and one of the tents in there. Don't recall much else about it.

I really loved building secret bases in my Hoenn games. I used to get really carried away with the intractable items like the music note tiles or the balloons. It was too bad my Ruby's battery ran dry before I could go buy things from the department store sale but I least I managed to in Emerald. I also loved how you could mix records and visit other people's secret bases. It was great for training.

I remember having a really awesome base, I think somewhere by Fortree City. I had so many decorations and such. Miss it.

 

[Lateon]

At the very south of Route 20. I loved the lakefront view and convienently located berry patch. I had all sorts of mats and dolls, and I had the tent and the slide and it was awesome. That was one thing I missed that they took out of Gen 4 and 5. They still had the underground, but I didn't have any friends to get rid of those rocks that were in the way.

 

[LadyFaust]

I absolutely LOVED the concept of secret bases and wished they'd carried it over into all the other games :( Exploring all the different locations until I found a place for a base and base interior I liked best, collecting decorations and decorating it. I think I miss that the most in all the newer games and it's what made R/S such a special and unique Pokemon game to me.

 

[Trainer Wants to Battle!]

I remember my secret base was in one of those huge shrubs. I spent ages designing it. I used the slides, walkways, statues etc to make my base like a Mini-Gym. You had to go through a miniature maze in order to get to my character.

I liked how I designed it, but my friend got annoyed really quickly when he got through the whole thing, battled me, lost, and then had to make his way through again for a second chance, lol.
