The Oceia Region [UR] [Casino Under Construction]
The Oceia Region Introduction Hello trainer, and welcome to the Oceia region! This custom region is based on the real-life region of the world known as Oceania, in particular my home country of Australia. Originally this region was going to be for a fan game I had decided to produce back when I first joined PC in 2012, however I don't have the skills to produce a game and I don't have the time to learn that sort of thing anymore. So for a long time this fell onto the back burner. Thankfully this wonderful new section has given me the opportunity to bring it to life. "Why Australia?" I'm going to pretend you're asking. Apart from really loving where I live, Australia has a huge range of different geological and ecological features having everything from deserts to rain forests and being the home of some of the worlds most unique lifeforms. It feels to me like it's just begging for a region to be made out of it. Links Oceia Regional Pokedex Lore and Legends News and Updates Oceia National Bank Cities and Landmarks Coming Soon
Join You are now able to join the Oceia region as a trainer or as an ordinary citizen. To join as a trainer please post with your trainer's name, trainer class, a bit of information on your trainer and 1-3 pokemon of your choice (excluding legendaries). To join as a citizen post with your role in the region, name and a bit of info. Geography & Ecology The Oceia region is located in the southern quadrant of the pokemon world, and is actually one of the most southern points on the globe. It is a fairly large region, being somewhat larger than most although smaller than the gigantic Kalos and is almost a single solid landmass apart from a few smaller islands and one larger. The Oceia region is divided into several distinct biomes. The central regions of Oceia are covered by dry plains and dessert sands. During the day this area is one of the hottest places in the world, however at night it becomes bitterly cold. To the west of the region there is predominately open prairies and beaches, however one of the most western points of the region is a large but dormant volcano. The east of Oceia is primarily construed of forest and mountainous terrain. The southern most part of the region is a large island. As it is largely geographically isolated from the rest of the world, the Oceia region has also given rise to many species of pokemon that are not found anywhere else and has vastly different "rarities" for some other pokemon that other regions are known to. |
Looks good so far! I just realised you and BP are neighbors :< I wonder what relationships the regions would have - considering his is basically a rotting mess, and yours is more idealistic.

Lore is up!
The Lore and Legends of Oceia The Legend of the Three Serpents "Long ago, many thousands of years before man walked the Earth, the world was a chaotic place. Continents were only just being formed, deities fought amongst themselves all around the world and it was the lesser beings, ordinary pokemon, who suffered for it. It was into this chaos that the Old Folk made their first steps, the weakest of life forms - human beings. Yet we were gifted with intelligence and communicative skills beyond most pokemon. We were able to watch and learn from them and about them. It was these talents that eventually allowed pokemon to tamed and trained, allowed us to cooperate with them. The Old Folk were very wise people, they lived in harmony with nature and with pokemon. They were observers and scholars, storytellers that etched our history into the walls of caves. It is from them that this story comes from. The Old Folk observed a chaotic world. A world in which legends and deities used the Earth as a battlefield as they shaped the world. The world was scarred and it was hurting and the weak suffered for the actions of the mighty. It was then that the Old Folk saw something amazing; from the Ocean, the dirt and the clouds, three great serpents rose. These beings did not join the fights of others, they did not trample on the weak. Instead, they sought to defend those who were not as powerful as they and they defended lesser beings. Still, they could not be everywhere, so they used their immense power to shape the barren lands of Oceia. They carved our valleys and gorges, filled our lakes and rivers and brought seasons to Oceia. Oceia became a paradise and a safe haven, for both pokemon and for mankind. For many more years, the great serpents ruled over this land and kept it safe. However, one of these creatures held resentment towards the others and to those it defended. It had no true domain like the other two serpents; it did not dwell in the sea nor did it thrive in our great deserts. It merely wandered the skies, taken for granted by those whom it cared for and forgotten compared to the presence of the other serpents. It grew angry, yet it did not shirk its duty for it knew that it lacked the power to combat its brethren. Things changed however, for the Red Star fell. The Old Folk did not know what this was, but they saw and documented the effect it had on the third serpent. Out of spite and jealousy, the serpent claimed the red star for itself and hid it away. It finally had something the others didn't. The serpent begun to spent all of its time guarding its precious star, not noticing as it begun to change due to the star's mysterious power. As the serpent jealously protected its star, its brethren slowly begun to notice its absence. They eventually begun to look for the third serpent, however it was far too late by the time they found it. The star had completely changed it from the pure and benevolent creature it had once been. The first two serpents tried to take the star from the third and destroy it, hoping to return it to its former self, but it responded angrily. It was furious that the one thing it had over the others would be taken from it - that after being snubbed for so long, even after it had not only shaped Oceia but tirelessly defending it for years anyone would dare try to take its one precious thing. The third serpent had grown more powerful than the others under the influence of the Red Star and it attacked them both. Overcome by hatred and pent-up resentment, the third serpent begun to lay waste to the paradise it had helped create. For a long time it fought with the other serpents, who tried hard to defend Oceia and soon enough it was defeated, for even with its new power it could not overcome the combined might of the other two. Not wishing to end the pained existence of their former companion, the other two serpents destroyed the red star and forced the third serpent into a deep slumber hidden away where nobody should ever find it. The remaining serpents then looked upon Oceia, and saw the destruction they had wrought in their conflict. It was then that they discovered that great power has an unbalancing effect on the world, even when it is benevolent and only seeks to defend. They worked to restore Oceia to what it once was and then they sent themselves into a deep slumber, leaving Oceia to continue on in harmony. This is the legend of Oceia's creation and it is this legend that spiked my curiosity in these mysterious serpents. Most legends are routed in some sort of historic truth and I long to uncover what that truth is." -Zayne Alta, an Oceain researcher, retelling the legend of the region's creation and explaining his research. |
I love the fakemon, the art looks so good. I'm happy to see a platypus Pokémon, about the only thing the regular Pokémon lack. Very interesting to see how Firazor has Overgrow as its ability. :P
I take it the serpents mentioned in the myths are three of the Pokémon in bold at the end of your PokéDex. I can't wait to see more stories appear. (You implied you had many planned.) |
Well, I really like your region. It's very interesting that you created this region based on Oceania! It's very similiar to it. I love your fakemons as well ^^ Especially Duxaven (I really liked the design) and Vandalina (Bug and fairy!Interesting...)
And OMG ... The Legend Of The Three Serpents! *-* I really really loved it ^^ very very interesting! I hope you have more stories and legends for the Oceia Region! If you continue working, this region will be great ! |

Soaring over the large bridge a man with striking red hair and pokéballs around his neck did ride into the Oceia region with a wide grin and a roaring chuckle that would spread throughout the land below him... and startle some flying pokémon down below. His steed? A Mega-Pidgeot, majestic and brilliant. Mega pokémon weren't as uncommon in Dúlra as perhaps they might have been in other regions. Though this man was not so sure as to the position of Oceia in this regard. This man was named Ardan, called so for an ancient hero of Dúlra's past. In this day and age however, he saw himself as something far less lavish. The Champion of Dúlra had chosen him to be an important politician and lawman as the region of Dúlra began to branch out and interact with it's fellow nations some two years ago. Today, Ardan found himself with one of the greatest honors in his eyes, that any of his countrymen could have been assigned. He was now arriving in another region, the region Oceia to serve as the first out of region ambassador, representing Dúlra in another land entirely and hopefully helping to form a firm and honest bond between his home and its new allies. From above he saw the construction work, as the champion had informed him where it would be. The building was an oddity, yet quite pleasant to view in it's own right. A large structure, crafted from the durable basalt of Dúlra... it was dark in colour and a fine representation of his homes patron legend as a result. The actual design of the building was made to fit in with the surrounding landscapes, yet it was further differentiated still by panels upon the walls that bore sigils designed around the Dúlra regions unique unknown. Ardan knew that some of his countrymen would disagree with this amalgamation of culture, but he himself found it quite pleasant. As he landed his Pidgeot reverted to its normal form and with an understanding nod it flew to the sky above. A young boy, with fear in his face, proceeded to run from his Mothers side to Ardan, his read hair billowing in the breeze. "Mister! Mister! Your pokémon's running away! You need to return it quick or he might get hurt!" Ardan let out a hearty chuckle at that, the idea of "pokéballs" still one that downright baffled him. Patting the child he spoke, with a lilting accent common to Dúlra. "Don't you worry lad, y'see my friend Pidgeot has no pokéball of his own. He's my friend and when I need him I must only whistle as loud as I can. He'll come to me when I do, without fail." With awe in his eyes the boy looked to ask a question, but Ardan simply hadn't the time. Ruffling the boys hair he sent him back to his now smiling Mother and turned towards the Dúlran Embassy. It was all but finished and more than ready to be inhabited but for it's final touches. It was certainly different from his home, but Ardan was pleased to be there. He would be a representative for his home, his family and his friends. Through him, a bond between Oceia and Dúlra would be forged... alongside those sigils in the sturdy black basalt. |

Diplomacy Between Ceriah and Oceia After a good forty years serving as the Oceian ambassador in Ceriah, Jim Montgomery has retired at the age of eighty leaving a position open for a new Oceian ambassador in our northern neighbour region. In related news, the Cerian embassy here in Oceia is undergoing renovations and will be unable to house an politicians during this time even as we commemorate years of healthy trade between our two nations. A Casino in Oceia?! After a many years of gambling being illegal in Oceia, the Oceian parliament has overturned the longterm ban in a controversial political move in a bid to further boost the region's economy. Construction has since begun on the first Oceian casino in many years, the building being located in Cignia City. |
Going great so far, really like the ideia of making an commercial and political alliance with another region, the Dúlra Region!
Wanna see more of this region! I hope you don't mind that I'm giving my opinion again :/ but I don't know why I'm really enjoying your region! |

Looking good guys, would be cool to get some trainers actually from Oceia at some point also :P

Trading with Santuare The Water Purification System “Ah, Miss Massina I presume!” a man in a simple black suit said to a woman who had just arrived at the small port near the western edge of Circin City, holding a hand out to shake the woman’s as she disembarked from a dirty grey, industrial-looking ship. “That is correct.” The woman replied in a cold, professional tone quite different from the friendly and casual demeanour of the Oceian man. “Pleased to meet you, my name is Colin Chandler. I work under the President and handle foreign affairs matters when he is unavailable. Mr. Pie regrets that he was unable to be here himself, however he is in the middle of some deliberations with the President of the Thesseus Region.” “I understand,” said the woman, looking at a group of large glass containers. Within said container, several blue and white pokemon moved about in what seemed to be snow. “This is all of them?” Colin fought the urge to sigh; he hated working with the ones like this Massina woman. It seemed all to often that foreign dignitaries were all business and forgot how to be human being in the process of their work. “That is correct I’m afraid” Colin said, giving Massina a pleasant smile “Snowster and Blizzlock are not particularly common here either, so this small number is all we could reasonably spare. As you can see they are most comfortable in cold and snowy environments, but they are perfectly capable of surviving in more normal temperatures.” “We’ll take them now then, or is there something else?” Massina said, barely acknowledging the information that Colin and given her. “As far as the pokemon go, that’s about it.” “Excellent, then let us be off. A team of specialists is currently deploying the water purification device in the water between your Miracle Reef and the Santuare Region.” |
An Alliance is Born!A man entered a restaurant in Circin City and sat on a seat near to the window. A server approached him and poured cold water into a glass, drinking a glass of cold water in the Oceia heat felt like the greatest luxury on earth. He called back the server and ordered his food as the ice fell against the glass, his fingers sliding on the condensation before his fingers regain their grip. Seven Abernathy felt the chill run down his esophagus and his head made an involuntary shake. It's the reverse of the winter time, when all he wanted is the feel the heat of good coffee come through a thick clay mug. When the glass is drained he took the ice between his molars and bit hard, feeling it melt into cold pools on his palate. |
