>>33518187I like the idea, but I'm not sure how to implement it. I'm thinking this game takes place like 8 years or so before the timeline in RBY. In my version of the game Mewtwo and Porygon are yet to be made and would be only mentioned in the game. In fact I've got several ideas about how to treat the game.
For example look at this map I fucked with for a quick second. All parts in red won't be making it in and will be cut off. I'm taking this from an early access demo point of view. I'm considering 4 gyms and 1 champion fight at the end of victory road. Elite 4 and the other gyms will be introduced later. For now I'm thinking Brock, Misty, Lt. Surge, and Erika will be in as the Ground, Water, Electric, and Grass gyms. The champion I'm thinking will either be Lance, Oak, or Giovanni. Lance would be a Bird trainer, Oak would be assorted, and Giovanni would be Normal.
Reasons for a lot of the bottom zones being cut off would largely be due in part to construction and recent tidal damage. In my version of Gen 0 Saffron would still be under construction as a promised, City of the Future. Fuschia City would still be hidden in the forest and dealing with a recent hurricane and Pallet would just be a research outpost for Professor Oak that isn't surrounded by a town quite yet. To go with everything else, Cycling Road would be a new concept currently being constructed.
