That's pretty much what I do too when I lack the inspiration for a name. Raoga is a corruption of ráðgáta, which is Icelandic for mystery. Not that I can speak Icelandic or anything...

I'm going to incorporate events into this currently, so follow this thread for updates: http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=352892

Hey. How do I encourage people to join my region? my region is heavily based on other people joining in a ruling their own slice of my Region

Lycanthropy July 25th, 2015 6:09 AM

The intro sounds pretty much like the first Pokémon movie, or is that just me?

gimmepie July 25th, 2015 7:30 AM

If you're curious about names Oceia is a compaction of the word "Oceania" and is pronounced "Oh-shay-uh" although I'm often tempted to go with "Oh-see-uh"

Other than putting a link in your signature, make sure your thread is enticing the information is there, interesting but not overwhelming.

Also people seem to really like looking at pokedex! :)

Nakuzami July 25th, 2015 2:56 PM

Everyone head on over to The Pokédex of PokéCommunity, a new joint project between Art & Design and The World of PokéCommunity!

JukeboxTheGhoul July 26th, 2015 3:45 AM

Is having a unique pokedex the only allure of a region?

Winter July 26th, 2015 4:53 AM

It's probably one of the last few sections people take a look at, especially when creators can always expand their Dex. Story and the general worldbuilding is what mainly allures me.

pkmin3033 July 26th, 2015 5:00 AM


I think it's still a bit too early to say what makes a good region and what doesn't...worldbuilding takes time, and everyone moves at their own pace. Just continue with what you planned and things should pick up; every region is going to be unique~

I've got so much to do to Elysia it's daunting...but I'm hoping the level of detail I plan to go into will attract some people into joining! I have a few ideas for possible future events as well; after all, it WAS an RP region I built. It's inspiring me to consider starting it up again elsewhere, as well. xD;


gimmepie July 26th, 2015 6:59 AM

It's really easy to get lost in creating your region I've discovered haha. What I originally intended to make a single paragraph of lore turned out to be several paragraphs long... and that's just one legend. So I say go for it Meloetta and the same to anyone else who is weary of going into a lot of detail.

Speaking of which, lore for Oceia is up and I've now made it sort of joinable xD

I'm a bigger fan of the mythos, the beginning of the region, the culture, the beliefs, etc. That's what I've been looking for when joining a region.

Nick July 26th, 2015 12:36 PM

I don't quite understand joining a region.

Why join a region?
What purpose does that have?

Basically acting as a supporter of fan :) individual regions are free to handle this in whatever way they like really.

For instance, in mine I'm hoping supporters will help develop ideas for locations and fleshing things out, and also helping in the contests!

I would make mine more religious as the entirety is based in different places different rules, but it's really driven by the person who joins

Dragon July 26th, 2015 2:09 PM

Sooo question gang, what do you guys plan to do in your region? When people join your region, do you have any activities or other fun stuff planed for them~?

Yeah, definitely. I want to have periodical tournaments (Battle Server style). I was also thinking about having different organizations people can join and do stuff with. Other than that I'm still trying to figure stuff out. I kinda want to see what other regions do first. XD

Etherion July 26th, 2015 2:19 PM

Im planning my region to be made up of 4 islands, to they count towards the 10 locations cap?

If you're going to have towns/cities for them yes, but if routes then, no~

How do contests work?

This is very role play like.

The current contest is to make an emblem for your region - you can see that in my thread (Hendo) three of us have brainstormed some ideas, which is one way in which these supporters/followers/citizens contribute. After modding the RPT forum for two years this feels completely different to me :) there's an air of roleplay, perhaps, but that's not a focus.

The world-building is similar, but everything else runs pretty different than our roleplays do so I wouldn't worry too much about that.

yep some things!
Some fun Contests & events
Journeying from route to route and city to city
Battling tours and maybe competiting for e4 spots :)
Also some events completely in region on maybe what corporations theyd like to join and such~

My region depends on people joining and running their own kingdom in a bid to win the civil war. I am unsure how to use/incorperate the battle server thing so if I could have some help with that, maybe I can entice more nobles and knights to join.
