I want to make a Pokémon RP but I need some help. I've made various RPs in the past but they always fizzle out because I never flesh out a plot to follow or create a region with plenty to do. So I figured I may as well ask some people help me out especially because I'm really out of practice when it comes to making an RP. I have a list of what I need help with - An idea for the region itself. Want I'm looking for is a region that would have a large variety of different environments or have a very distinct feel/culture to it. I also very heavily lean towards regions based on a real place rather than totally made up ones. - Coming up with interesting and unique ideas for the locations in said region - Should it be focused purely on a Pokémon League with gyms or should there be room for contests or other things. How should the Pokémon League itself function - Figuring out an overarching plotline that could keep the RP from stagnating and push our characters in interesting ideas - Creating a unique regional Pokédex that our characters would be limited to (around 250-350 Pokémon). It could contain a limited amount of Fakemon (Limited to Legendaries) though I'm reluctant to do so As to the RP itself I may want to make it small group or at least have a few people create some more important characters who would have a greater impact on the overall plot. I'd also have a post length requirement of 3-5 sentences because I'm not a fan of overly fanciful writing just to meet a length requirement. Right now I have a few ideas for the region if it were to be based off a real life location with those ideas being - A region based on Scandinavia and its folk tales - A region based on Wales and Arthurian Legends - A region based on Egypt and its history I already have map I created in the past for an Egypt based region that could be revamped. I'll post that as well as some of my more recent Pokémon Region maps to give an idea of the kind of art styles I've been fond of recently The Khemet Region

Honestly a Scandinavian-like region would be fun and unique. There could even be some legendaries based off some of the folklore.

It looks great so far! This region is definitely suited to more forest-dwelling Pokémon or ones suited for the cold. I can see the bulk of the ground types hanging out in the Egyptian part. Let me know when you’re back on so we can brain storm a Pokédex (:

Had to cross reference bulbapedia with Wikipedia to match the wildlife of Scandinavia, but so far I got: Luxray line (bit happy that they have lynxes since Shinx is my favorite haha), Linoone line, Noctowl line, Sawsbuck line, Ursaring line, Swanna line, and plenty of ice-types of course. I’m definitely missing a bunch but this is just a start haha

Not gonna lie, the way you’ve sectioned everything on the map is pretty much how I pictured it

Oooh like that! Maybe the major leagues are the elite four so to speak and the minor leagues could be the gym leaders

Roman Pokemon Lore Ideas --
So based on what I'm reading legend has it that Rome was created by two twin sons of God who were saved by a she-wolf. One of the twin sons actually ends up killing his brother for the title of king.(This is a ROUGH choppy version)
So we could have the two twins be some regular guys and the legendary in this case...we are limited for dog/wolf type of legendaries so we'd have to go with Zacian/Zamenta ? They would fit the twin style too. So the region basically worships these two legendary dogs/wolves.
They probably hold pokemon to a high standard and most 'dog/wolf' looking pokemon in this region are highly loved/well looked after. I can assume that they don't do the typical pokemon battle, they would probably do a more coliseum type battle. How that would play out, I'm unsure at this exact moment.
This region could also not be on good terms with Greece because of a war in the long past maybe? I know you said you had some lore written already but I was thinking of some inner conflict with the region.
Sorry I'm rattling off ideas I have for it but idk if any are good, kind of just throwing darts at a wall based on what I'm reading.
As for pokemon here -- probably ones like the Lyanroc, Braviary, Mandibuzz, Lucario, Tropius, etc ??

Also, here's the doc for the Pokémon in each region. You should be able to comment in it

Okay, here's a link to the atlas Page that uses the Valon Region (the Wales inspired region) as an example. The formatting needs some work (like a place for the Pokémon found there) but that's more or less what it will look like.
