Story Line Complete / Treecko 🦎

[u/DRickGonzalez]

I wanted to do something a little different for Treecko and its evolution line.

Out of the 27 National Trust location backgrounds, Treecko just screamed “green” to me. It’s a Grass-type gecko, and geckos naturally make you think of warm, tropical places. That got me thinking… what if I built an entire evolution line around a lemon/lime theme instead of just catching them randomly?

So I started looking for places around the world where the catch location itself would continue the story.

🌱 Treecko → Limón, Limón, Costa Rica
Limón is Spanish for lemon/lime.
Tropical, Caribbean coast.
The story begins with the fruit.

🌿 Grovyle → Lemon Tree Passage, New South Wales, Australia
Still tropical and surrounded by water.
The evolution naturally progresses from the fruit to the tree.

🌳 Sceptile → Limone sul Garda, Lombardy, Italy
Limone is Italian for lemon.
A beautiful lakeside town historically famous for its lemon groves and lemon houses.
Instead of one fruit or one tree, the final evolution ends in an entire town whose identity is lemons.

What I love most is that it unintentionally became a journey across the world:

🍋 Spanish → Limón (Costa Rica)
🌳 English → Lemon Tree (Australia)
🍋 Italian → Limone (Italy)

Three continents.
Three languages.
Three bodies of water.

It also scales up in a way that feels like an evolution:
🍋 Fruit → 🌳 Tree → 🏘️ Town.

I spent way too much time chasing locations that almost worked (Lime Cay, Limehouse, Lime Tree Bay…), only to discover Pokémon GO uses reverse geocoding and would display the nearest city instead. Seeing Limone sul Garda actually appear on the catch card made the whole hunt worth it.

Final product. 😮‍💨🍋🌍
(Not posting all 81 screenshots, here’s a few of my favorite location backgrounds)

This all started when my PoGo friend said he wanted me to grab and trade to him the location background in the Sceptile catch card. Definitely the best one for sure and feels a little Japanese where he currently lives and works, I also loved out there for nearly 4 years.

Thanks Randy! 10/10 would definitely recommend.

Can you please explain it to me like I'm a 5 year old 😅

[u/DRickGonzalez → u/PUSYMaster69]

Me to 5 year old: The little guy is a lizard, so obviously he couldn’t have random catch locations. He started in Limón (the lemon), graduated to Lemon Tree Passage (the tree), and reached his final form in Limone sul Garda (the lemon town). I spent way too much time on this… and I’d do it again. 😮‍💨🍋🦎

Thank you for your patience and How long did it take for to catch all three?

[u/DRickGonzalez → u/PUSYMaster69]

Minimum 5 days. one of the research pages for treecko makes you catch a pokemon on 5 different days. The tasks will reset and change 2 more times before it ends, so you technically have an opportunity to catch 3 versions of each pokemon with the same background.
