New region - name pending

[PanicAttack]

I'm having a go at one of those fake regiony things. I have the badges and the "town map", plus names for the towns, Gym Leaders, Elite Four and Champion.

Badges:

Hazard: Given away by Pidgeon City's Sycorax, the Hazard Badge allows owners to use Cut. Sycorax uses Poison-type Pokémon, hence the badge's design being based on the biohazard warning symbol.
Eclipse: Sammy, the Gym Leader of Raptoria City who specialises in Dark-types, gives away this badge. It is based on a solar eclipse and allows free usage of Rock Smash.
Plate: Allows free usage of Surf. The Plate Badge is distributed by Corbin, a Ground-type trainer who lives in Swallowville City. It is based on the planet Earth, particularly Africa.
Generic: The Henway City Gym Leader Bianca (who uses Normal-types) gives out this badge. It is rather bland, but allows usage of Strength.
Enigma: Carrie, the Cuckoo's Nest City Gym Leader, gives away this badge. It is based on the TCG's symbol for Psychic Pokémon - an eye. Carrie uses Psychic Pokémon, and beating her allows you to use the new move Tide Change.
Chivalry: The "Dragon Tamer" George, Hawkroost City's Gym Leader, gives away this shield-shaped badge. Earning this badge allows the ability to use Fly, any time you need.
Honey: Manny of Swan's Lake City gives out this badge. Earning it allows you to use Dive when you need to, but you've got to beat his Bug-type Pokémon first. The badge is designed based on honeycomb.
Inferno: Charlotte, a Fire-type trainer, designed this badge. She resides in Roasturkey City. It is based on a fireball and allows you to use Waterfall.

Town Map:

South-west island
Fledgling Town: The town many trainers start from, Fledgling Town is home to Professor Elder, an expert on Pokémon attacks and abilities. It is the town on the left.
Avian Town: Well known for its beaches and friendly inhabitants, Avian Town is the first town many trainers reach after Fledgling. It lies east of Fledgling.
Phoenix Ash City: South of Fledgling is Phoenix Ash City. Here, the Pokémon League is held, but otherwise the town is pretty bland and quiet.
Victory Road: Similar to the Victory Roads of Kanto, Hoenn and Sinnoh, Victory Road is a dark cave between Fledgling and Phoenix Ash. Aside from the cave, Victory Road contains a forest road around the cave. The cave is shorter, but harder to traverse.

Other island descriptions coming soon.

Slightly off-topic, sorry: I think I've seen maps done like that before, is there some specific app for doing it?

Also: I find it a bit strange that one of the badges involves real-life Africa.

 

[PanicAttack]

There's no specific app for doing it. Just boring old MS Paint will do.

Also what's strange about a thing in Pokémon referencing a real life location? It's not like I'm the first person to do so. For example, Lt. Surge's title of "The Lightning American" and the Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh regions all being based on areas of Japan.

EDIT: Debbie's been renamed to Carrie, after the main character in the novel and film of the same name. Her sprite's up, and yes, I am aware the dress similar to Jasmine's. =P

what do you make your badges on?

why not call the region Sparroh/Sparoh due to the bird theme.

 

[PanicAttack]

I made the badges on MS Paint as well. Virtually everything sprite-related I do is.

Sparroh sounds alright. I don't want to do the bird thing to death though.

EDIT: Charlotte's up. I'll probably make Sammy or Sycorax next.

what about the Carasco Reigon? I have a program that creates random names and it gave me that.

Nothing really wrong considering they do it in canon...I dunno, it's kind of like that time Donald Duck was Noah's assistant and was rounding up two non-anthropomorphic ducks and was like whaaaaa?
