When I was a kid, I loved Pokemon. I was a creative little fuck, and I used to create entire pokemon regions, writing them down, the different characters and backstories, the different gyms...

The picture here is a region I created called Hinko. It was before I knew that the pokemon world was based on Japan. Centered on a big gulf, part of the big draw was that you could surf the entire gulf to whatever towns, or grab the ferry system to whatever city you wanted. This was all before they created Hoenn.

Did anybody else ever do stuff like this?
