The Sangyo Region [On Hiatus]

Oops, sorry for not responding, but do you have any ideas for symbols? We should probably think of something before time runs out.

Yep thats definately the number one objective.

The other idea i had was having the two ladies holding their hands together toward the sky and having some industry behind it possibly?
Or maybe im overthinking it we could also use eevee as it is the prime starter and choose it for the diversity of types as it is quite a diverse region.
Edit: I got a backround and some other art done just gotta put on the finishing touches so should be done by the 1st! Oh and gotta resize it!
Sooo i finished the entire emblem and it came out nice just some outlines on sprites that couldnt be helped so i went to resize it and most sites didnt support it so i tried 3 or 4 and then tried converting it then tried again and somehow the file itself got corrupted when converting so i tried opening it and well it didnt open. So im sorry we wont have an entry most likely and thats my fault cause i didnt save 2 copies hopefully we can participate in the next event and get a better result. :/
Dragon gave me alittle more time and although the new emblem doesnt look the best cause it was rushed and such but atleast we got an entry! Sorry it couldnt look better though guys!

In better news i have been working on a map and cities and other stuff so big updates coming!

Oh, that so sad to hear :'( (Sorry for not Responding too).Oh, and in advance i would like to say you Good Luck for your Big Updation haha :D
 
Update!
I finally finished the Town map! Of coarse they need names so i could use everyones help to brainstorm a couple!

Whats your guys' thoughts on the map and its design? ​
 
Looks good! I wonder though, why goes the route in the northeast over that island? Wouldn't a trade route be easier if it would be straight over the mainland?

As for names, in what style did you want to name them?

Honestly it was just hard for me to make a route in between there but i can connect them while keeping the routes to the island. The routes are there to give the region more water routes since it seems to be lacking in them.

Im unsure so far i have some done and victory road will still be victory road but the pokemon league will be in a city kinda like how it was in Hoenn. Just need some help brainstorming and also any errors people see on the map as ik there are a few that have to be changed.
 
Ta-dan! I have arrived!

Oh, don't get me wrong, there's no problem with more sea routes. I think you should keep them this way and think of a reason why the land path isn't accessible, like swampland, a mountain or maybe very dangerous Pokémon living in that area.

If you want more sea routes, there's still the option to connect the two towns in the south by one.

There should be so i think when i brainstorm a story that should be in it or i could just zigzag it either way it shouldnt be left alone and i like the idea of dangerous pokemon and such.

That is a possibility although i gotta think through it cause the point of not having them connected besides at the capital and victory to symbolize how the 2 parts are slowly getting reconstructed and connected so hmm

Do you think the cities should have a theme to the names? And should routes be called route 1..2..3...etc. Or have actual names?
 
Sorry, I got swamped with schoolwork so I had to disappear.

^^; I'm back! Ready to help out with whatever.

Hey welcome back! Its understandable school can always make you extremely busy!
I could use everyones help mostly to critique the new town map and come up with some interesting names for each town or a theme for the names. Ideas?

Great thanks!

I wish but not this one cause i dont currently have the time to write up the newspaper article i wanted to thanks to a project that i have to do irl sadly. Wish we could though hopefully i wont be busy next time though and we can get some points!
 
I don't really have a critique because I like almost everything - lol.

But I did thought the map was too simple. Hmmm as for the name of towns... what is the meaning of Sangyo anyway? I mean, why Sangyo? There might be inspirations for the theme of towns... I will think of mine too since my char is a Poison Gym Leader... hmmm... thinkiiiiingggg.

Sangyo is simply industry in Japanese and it also is very unique as well. Its the best i could come up with but i did brainstorm with several others and it was either Ateria, Chronoh, and Sangyo and Sangyo won so thats what was decided and its better than Violight.

Yes we also have to discuss the order of towns like where you start and such if anyone hasnt noticed its designed to have victory road, the pkmn league, and the capital city in the middle which if you cut down forms the old two sides of the region east and west. So we have to discuss where the player would start, what town next then that town then all the way to the pkmn league. Another thing to discuss is route names do we want number or actual names like Scenic Way or something along those lines but for now lets just get the city names in order :)

Question for everyone~
What would be a cool way to reward people that are active in events and such? I plan on doing some events and competitions as well as reward people for being active in the region so i would like to know your guy's thoughts on a point system i mean i can obviously reward points but what could people get with these points? :D

That's a looooot. I'd like to help but right now my brain is fried from lack of sleep, lmao.

Should we have a skype group to discuss this? It'll be easier. Or rather, I find it easier. xD

I think the only best way to reward is giving them emblem Point system would be surely fit with emblem as rewarding a certain person when he/she reach at a particular point which appreciate them to help more! :D Btw do you get any emblem makers?

Well thats the problem only mods can award emblems and many people dont exactly get all that excited over emblems anymore anyways but i still gotta think on the concept of rewarding for now im going to finish up the history's of the two old sides of the region and slowly get to work with naming cities and towns ive only started some and waiting for any other resonses on some cool names or perhaps a theme for the town names. Also im still putting the final touches on the css in the op so hopefully that will look better with time.

News!
The Before the war... section has finally been updated and has the story of how the war began and some character background. You can find it in the op or read it here:

I think the map is fine, looks nice. So what all do we need to do with it? Come up with names and determine town order?
