Arcanum region ☆★
september 9th: updating the concept a bit, but still having some core elements and the name etc.
The large island is a land of serene peace at a first glance, but of brewing conflict once you start looking closer. Decades ago, explorers from Unova and its sister regions traveled across the sea from the east, trying to prove their theory that there was actually a land hidden beneath the seemingly eternal thunderstorm in the middle of the vast Wild Ocean. They were correct. Hidden from detection from the air and from radio signals, there was a whole region there – the storm had been an illusion all the time, not even visible from inside. And what a region it was.
Rich with nature and a completely unique culture, the land had missed out on industrial revolution. Instead, they had made excellent use of pokémon to make their world impressively modern in some ways still. The eastern explorers dubbed the region Arcanum, because of the immense mystery it was.
Decades passed, and today life in Arcanum is one of opposites and choices. To live as a traditional Arcanian, or to embrace the eastern technology? To adhere to Arcanian beliefs, or convert to outlandish science? To capture pokemon in mechanical pokéballs, or to let them follow you like friends and partners?
And the mysteries don't seem to end.
Advanced information eventually!

Spoiler:
september 6th: This is a work in progress - I made this region for a roleplay yeeears ago. Might keep the shiny pokémon, but it used to be japanese-inspired and I think I want to develop a culture of my own design instead of keeping it like that.
ARCANUM ☆★
Introduction.
Arcanum – the mystery of the west. This region was completely fine until the easterners came along. At least that's how many Arcanians put it.The large island is a land of serene peace at a first glance, but of brewing conflict once you start looking closer.
