• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

Welcome to the Marah Region!

Drifloon Rocks

Honey, please don't eat the rancid dung.
Welcome to the Marah Region!

Geography:
The Marah Region is a large continent located Northeast of the Kanto Region and Northwest of the Sinnoh Region. The Marah Region is nearly the geological opposite of the Sinnoh Region. The Marah Region is almost completely flat with a large canyon running from the East to the West of the region.. On the Eastern end of the Region is a small dormant volcano called Mt. Steadfast. The area around the mountain is mostly Foothills. The region is very wet and humid, meaning that there are a few jungles and many ponds and lakes.

New Stuff:
The Marah Region is home to may new and unique Pokemon. There are also many new cities and 8 new gyms. New items have been discovered as well, and thus, some Pokemon native to other regions can evolve in new ways.

The Games:
The Marah Region is designed for a game on the DS. Because of this, many of the features will include how the touch screen will affect different activities. The games are called Pokemon Ivory and Pokemon Ebony.

Woo!

Your region was always much better than mine. In fact, i drew inspiration from you.
 
Alright, everyone. I deeply apologize for the wait, but now...

IT"S BACK!

Now that school is about to start, I will be doing a lot more of the Marah Region. You would think it would be the opposasite, but it's not because I vegetate in the summer. School keeps me active. In a few days, I will post a very large update. For now, here are some attacks.

Infect: Poison
The user infects the foe to steal HP on every turn.
Basically the Poison-type equivalent of Leech Seed.

Tar Pit: Ground
The user traps the foe in a pit of tar, damaging it and reducing it's speed every turn.
Like Clamp, etc., but also reduces speed.

Bloom: Grass
The user blooms to raise its Defense and Special Defense.

Fin Slap: Water
The user slaps the foe with a wet fin to damage.

And an ability:

Generator: Allows use of electric moves, even when out of PP.
 
Generator sounds good, but I think you need to go into more description with the attacks, like PP, damage and accuracy.

Anyway, this is looking great. (:

Heh, you're just like me!

Anyways, on topic, I adore your titles of the games. But I must I ask, what would the third one be called? Something grey I assume...
 
I believe in the old thread, a legendary was decided to be based on granite, *coughthankstomecoughachoo* so it would likely be called Pokemon Granite.
 
Many of these may seem familiar, but they are heavily edited.

And here's a new competition thing.

Competition: Ranger Race
In the Marah region, addition to Pokemon Contest for Coordinators and Gym battles for Trainers, Pokemon Rangers can participate in a special competition called a Ranger Race.

How it works:
The Ranger Race is slightly similar to the Safari Zone. You are lent a Capture Styler and turned loose in an enclosed area filled with Pokemon. The area is like a large maze with unbreakable walls made of trees, boulders, clouds, etc. and passable (with the help of Pokemon) obstacles such as rocks, ice, and thick bushes. The object is to get to the end of the maze. In order to do this, you must use your styler to capture the Pokemon and use their abilities to overcome obstacles. For example, you might capture an Ursaring to smash a rock blocking your path. There are three NPCs racing against you. You need to beat them to the end to win. At the end of each maze is a button, Only Pokemon can press it, so you need to capture a Pokemon to press the button and complete the race. You will get a trophy for each rank and terrain you beat.

Strategy:
Depending on your rank, you will be able to borrow different stylers. Specifically, you will be able to use the four main elemental stylers: fire, water, grass, and electric. The ranks are the same as in a Pokemon Contest: normal, great, ultra, and master. There are also five terrains: water, cave, sky, forest, and factory. In the normal rank, you can only use the normal styler. In the great rank, you can also use a random elemental styler. With each rising rank, you can use more stylers, but it also takes more energy to charge all those stylers, so you need to swirl the stylus faster and longer to capture Pokemon. However, the normal styler won't capture Pokemon as often. In addition, each rank’s maze gets longer and has more obstacles.

Terrains:
5 cities have Ranger Races. They are: Calamari City, Cavespot City, Skyscraper Town, Pinebranch Town, and Jamjell town.
The Terrains:
Water Terrain (Calamari City): a wet and muddy terrain. Many Water types inhabit this area, as well as some Ice types. Obstacles- chunks of ice, currents, waterfalls, whirlpools, thick mud. Example of capture and obstacle conquering- capture a Gyrados to use Waterfall to scale the waterfall.
Cave Terrain (Cavespot City): a dark and rocky terrain mostly inhabited by Rock, Dark, and Ground types. Obstacles- rocks (Rock Smash), dark areas, cave-ins, crevices, stalagmites. Example of capture and obstacle conquering- Capture a Sonicave to use Supersonic to locate walls in dark areas.
Sky Terrain (Skyscraper City): a cloudy and windy terrain. Flying and Dragon types are common here. Obstacles- strong winds, gaps in the clouds, fog. Example of capture and obstacle conquering- Capture a Glowdove and use Defog to clear the fog and see things.
Forest Terrain (Pinebranch Town): a grassy and tree-filled terrain filled with Grass, Poison, and Bug types. Obstacles- thick bushes, spider webs, small trees, rocks (Strength), vines. Example of capture and obstacle conquering- Capture a to use Slash to clear away vines.
Factory Terrain (Jamjell Town): a maze inside an old factory. You can find many Electric types, as well as some Steel types here. Obstacles- electric barriers, moving platforms, magnetized platforms, steel beams. Example of capture and obstacle conquering- Capture a Magnemite to use Magnet Pull to pull a platform to you.
 
Reminder/Coming Soon post.

-Compost
-Jellups
-Cities and Gym Leaders
-Breeder competition
-Starters (Grass/Steel, Fire, Water/Ghost)
 
I remember a lot of Pokemon! But, I think Asterpebble needs a better name. I like the ranger race idea too.
 
I have succeeded in drawing Terrapotta and Berrattery (the only two I can draw).

mcyic7.jpg

The colored one is too dark and missing the leaves, which the uncolored one has. Just imagine the uncolored one with the colors in the Pokedex entry.

flk85y.jpg

Berrattery. Simple enough.
 
I just wanted to say that anyone can sprite any of these Pokemon, as long as you give me credit for the concepts. :D
 
Compost
Compost is made in Jamjell Town in the Compost Plant.
There are ten different items you can mix into your compost. The more items you put in, the higher level compost you will make. These are the items:
-Rich Soil: Dark, moist soil to be mixed into Compost
-Dry Leaf: A crumbly brown leaf to be mixed into Compost
-Terra Clay:
-Black Ash: Shiny black ashes to be mixed into Compost
- Rotten Berry: A decomposing berry to be mixed into Compost
-Smelly Dung: left by a Pokemon to be mixed into Compost
-Withered Root: A shriveled root from a berry plant to be mixed into Compost
-Nutrient Pellets: Pellets with the nutrients plants need to be mixed into Compost
-Hearty Fungus: A fragrant mushroom to be mixed into Compost
-Wilted Flower-: A wrinkled flower to be mixed into Compost
To make the compost, you select the items to place into the mixer, then slide the stylus back and forth on the touch screen to mix it. Then, after seeing the level of mulch you have made, you get to select what color bag- red, yellow, green, or blue, you want to put the mulch in. This helps organize the compost in your compost sack.


Pokepics
The PokePics Album is a side-quest in which you try to take pictures of every Pokemon in the Pokedex. Once you acquire the Zero-Two Pod, you will be able to travel routes in the Zero-Two and take pictures of the wild Pokemon. In order to move around the route, you need to use the stylus to draw a path. The Zero-Two will follow this path to the end, then turn around and go back to the beginning, and while it’s moving, you take pictures off the Pokemon native to that route.
As in the game Pokemon Snap for the N64, you have a few unlimited items equipped to your Zero-Two for throwing at Pokemon.
Pester Ball: A ball that explode with a puff of smoke to irritate Pokemon. Thrown with X.
PokeFood: A brown pellet for Pokemon to eat. Thrown with Y.
PokeFlute: A flute that plays five different songs. Played with L.
Perfume: A sweet smelling mist to attract Pokemon. Sprayed with R.
You take pictures with A and speed up with B. You can take up to 50 pictures each time you travel the route with the Zero-Two. After taking the pictures, you choose which ten you want to send to Professor Spruce. He will rate them just like in the N64 game and you get points. You can choose up to 700 pictures to put into your album.


NEW! Signature moves of a Pokemon, such as Bone Club for Cubone, have 1.5 of the effect (damage, stat raise, etc.) that they normally would (without STAB). “Main moves” are moves that a Pokemon often uses, and is fairly specific to Pokemon of that type, such as Constrict for Pokemon like Drifloon and Tentacool. Main moves have 1.1 of the effects that they normally would.
 
I would like to know what you think of the drawings. Please post any thoughts you have about the region and Pokemon!
 
Pokemon Snap idea=yes. I have a weird feeling my dad would love it more than he loves Pearl. (Yes, my parents play the games too. ^^)

Still loving the compost.

And the drwings are pretty nice. I could attempt to sprite Berrattery, though there's no guarantee that it'll be good, since I can't scratch too well. ^^;
 
As a note, anyone can sprite any of these if you want. You have my permission. Just make sure to let me know when you do and credit me for the concepts if you ise them.
