Arc Development:Ranger-2

(This page is a primer for the Ranger-2 Arc. As with all Arc Development pages, it is inherently a WIP.)

Arc Brief

After building up strength in Kalos, the Illusion Project has finally made their first strikes in the Ranger regions. The once-passive organization has begun making more direct moves in search of Mew, whom they plan to use to reset the world. For once, the J-Team can finally put a stop to criminals the first time they rise. Meanwhile, Neo-Galactic is preparing for their own rise to power behind the scenes.

Major Synopsis

(To be written)

Known Operational Details

Details from here are much more technical and are subjected to change. None of this should be taken as an official decision unless it is stated as such in the Discussion Thread!

• Order of Region Traversal will be Fiore > Almia > Oblivia
• Some setup for trainers exist, such as Pokemon Centers in most towns, though the regions are mostly focused on Rangers

Fiore Details

Fiore is a location with mountainous terrain and four cities located in the cardinal directions of the map, with Ringtown, Fall City, Summerland, and Wintown each representing different seasons. It is relatively close to Sinnoh.

Almia Details

Almia contains a volcanic island, a desert and a valley that is constantly covered in ice, which are the locations of artifacts known as the Prince's Tears. The majority of the population, however lives in the center of the region around Pueltown. It is to the southwest of Sinnoh proper.

Oblivia Details

Oblivia consists of six, formerly seven, islands named after the musical scale. The smallest four islands, Dolce (Destroyed by the Sky Fortress), Faldera, Layuda, and Tilikule, have no human residents and the lattermost has no residents altogether. The largest three islands, which have human inhabitants, are Renbow, Mitonga, and Sophian, the former two of which are connected by bridge. All other islands are separated, requiring surfing or flying mons to reach, though Dolce and Renbow aren't too far apart. The Ranger presence in Oblivia is less than in Fiore and Almia.

Planned Consequences
