>>32808513I've yet to write something set in a canon region, but if I did, I don't think I'd stick to only the in-game towns, or even make them look exactly like they do in the games. Logically, the regions should have more towns (and bigger ones at that) than we see in-game, and I usually consider sources other than the games to be more accurate representations of that sort of thing.
For example, Pallet Town is merely three houses in the games, but it looks like pic related in Pokemon Origins, which I think looks much more reasonable. Same goes for its appearance in the main anime, but I couldn't find a good screenshot of that version, so I went with Origins instead.
>>32809702What cge said sounds like a good idea. For the record, Bulbapedia calls them "appendages", but that doesn't sound right to me.
>>32810977I've never made up new moves or Pokemon, although I once invented a new ball for a story. That said, I eventually figured it wasn't necessary, and changed it back to an ordinary type of ball. I figure there's no reason to invent something new if something that already exists can serve the role just fine. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
>>32811229I'm doing alright. Summer break's finally here, which means I've got a bit more free time now. Hopefully I'll actually resume writing and posting stuff again. It's been too long.
