City + Town Specifics

[beckstar]

That's pretty much perfect.

[cephalgia]

Ohh man. The Howl's Moving Castle type stuff is exactly the kind of stuff I dig. Makes me want to see how it would look if Tatsu was a game, or just if a really awesome artist drew it up.

I was thinking I would make full use of my drawfaggery to try and illustrate Audubon Town since I was basically in charge of that one.

Ok I have posted the page for Eureka.

Link = trleague.wikia.com/wiki/Eureka_City

I hope that it went well.Feedback is much appreciated. Especially the part about transportation. I think I might change that. I need better names for the vehicles, although walker is growingon me. I left a section for fashion because its a HUGE part of steampunk but im not as in touch with it as id like to be haha. Beckstar I was hoping you could fill that in or post a description here and I can plug it in or whatever.

[Tengou]

So now that we have a page for all the cities we should start really giving them all details. Some of them are still pretty spares looking.

I also have two questions:
1) Can we post random cities thatdont have a gym where ever we want?
2)Are we going to update the Tatsu map at any point to include smaller cities, towns, and geographical features such as mountains, etc.?

[cephalgia]

Well there are actually 2 'major' but non-gym towns not yet created. One of them is an artsy/bohemian town with lots of salons that also hosts the Pokemon Contests and Musicals.

The other is a town full of people who dislike Pokemon battling, and instead the town hosts the Pokeathlon or something similar to it. There was more to this, I think we actually gave the towns names at some point but forgot them.

Then, other towns won't be shown on the map and will be created by people as they like, kind of as 'inbetween' towns. The ones that would probably be omitted if it was a game.

We're also trying to think of a lot of cool areas for Tatsu. Ideas for areas we had so far:
* Vouslich Asylum on the lakefront north of Noire, which has been added to the wiki
* A sunken ghost ship in the middle of the bay south of Audubon - the wreckage of the former Larydos I (the ship that ferried around the coastal cities of Tatsu), which was replaced by the Larydos II.
* A beach resort and an archipelago on the southwest of the island with Gondolia and Fortuna City.
* A Safari Zone in the area east of Gaston Town.
* A desert surrounding Meiro/Jade. This might make Jade a little more based on Dubai.
* An enclosed reserve full of the Slowpoke family, led by a Slowking.

We also probably need a forest somewhere. There are some woods around Audubon, but maybe on one of the longer paths on the map there could be a forest.

I added a page for a place I came up with. It doesn't have to be 'canon' if not desired, though, but since in the RP, Jaylen will be traveling along the path, I decided to write up a little for it.

I think thats cool. Im sure the inn can provide a setting for some good plots.

[Tengou]

Also the reason i was asking is because i was planning a city and surrounding forest to put in the mountains east or gaston town and shiidara but if thats where the safari zone is going i can put it somewhere else.

All those ideas are cool though. We should write some soon.

Dilentte Village
Located between Ironclad, Eureka, and Centria
Dilennte is a newer city, but in the past hundred years it has become a haven for the new-age and avant-gard. Many bohemians were looking for a way to escape from the oppression of mainstream society and began congregating together in what was at the time wilderness.

At first the people made due in small encampments, but the things have become significantly more modernized since then; a number of row houses line the streets, along with theaters, coffee shops, salons, etc. The majority of the settlers agree that traditional pokemon battling is far too barbaric, so rather than a gym they have erected a Music and Contest Hall.

The Dilentte locals are very similar to the Beat Generation (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beat_Generation), with a little bit of hippie thrown in for good measure. Some are true visionaries, lighting fires in the souls of men with nothing but their words, while others are simply just teens in a phase, looking for a good outlet for their rebellion or an easy way to score drugs. The city itself is based loosely off Greenwich Village (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenwich_Village) in New York City.

Well, there are actually two specific spots on the map that haven't been filled in - south of Noire and south of Primavera:



It's pretty much a tossup. Loving the town though.

[beckstar]

Oh, it's gonna actually get one of the dots? In that case my vote goes for south of Noire, if only because I can imagine Jerome visiting Dilentte every now and then.

[cephalgia]

Yeah, I can agree with that.

Cool Trainer Bro, eat your heart out. I actually found a bigger satellite photo of the area, though it's still cluttered with all the pesky photo realism. I can change the color levels to make it not stand out so much, and possibly 'paint' the colors of it to match the areas and stuff though, in the future.

For now.

[cephalgia]

New Tatsu Map. Tell me what you think.

EDIT: Updated; I'd forgotten Primavera.

[beckstar]

The lines between towns are a little wobbly but overall, I think it looks good!
