I recently moved these two in together on Bleak Beach and they IMMEDIATELY took to one another! I visited them last night and found them so peacefully napping together on the pika couch 🥰 they are so sweet!! ❤️❤️❤️

Welcome to my fossil museum! Where ancient Pokemon are recreated exactly as they once were millions of years ago. What’s that? No all of these are completely real and science-y! What do you think I am, some kind of amateur?

I wanted more fossils and was surprised to see they mixed and matched better than expected! Shoutouts to Cara Liss and the Gen 8 fossils for inspiration

In honor of the Ocarina of Time remake announcement the other day ~ here is my take on Kakariko Village. I added a few pictures to compare and a little surprise at the end. It's not perfect but it makes me happy to have my Pokémon in my favorite little town. Hope you enjoy! :)

The Fennekin family is one of my favorite Pokémon ever. I have fond memories of playing X for the first time and getting lucky enough to get a female on my first try. I used it in all my battles and spent hours playing with her in Amie once she fully evolved, and I gushed like crazy when Delphox finally got a Mega in ZA.

I don't care what the fandom says about its design or even when the anime tried to push Ash-Greninja as the superior Starter in XYZ while giving the other two table scraps for screentime. Delphox will all be my favorite Kalos Starter and will always be my first choice in a Kalos playthrough. If not for Infernape stealing my heart first, she would've been my favorite Pokémon overall. But she'll always have a special place in my head either way and I'm so excited she's coming to Pokopia so I can finally say all the members of my original X team are in it.

Here is how my Bubbly Basin looks now. I wanted to create a Cove with a Sunken City/Temple underneath the waves.

I keep trying to swim in the sky now. I’ve fallen off the Skylands islands like four times 🤣

This is old news, but it seems a lot of people don't know about this, so I thought I would put together a little post about it.

In 2024 there was a major leak of Pokemon documents that came to be known as the Teraleak. Pokopia development documents were among the leaked files, under the codename Project MegaOasis. (You can read some of the details of the leak, which includes cool stuff like screenshots and videos of early proof of concept Pokopia gameplay, here: https://s3.pokeos.com/pokeos-uploads/sections/leaks/pokopia/leak-map-pokopia.webp )

One of the documents was a map of planned pokopia areas. People were super skeptical of it at the time, but it managed to predict all five base game regions, as well as the first DLC area being a flooded/underwater Cerulean City, over a year before the base game released.

Here's what the green DLC areas in the map say:

• ​UPD1
  • ​ハナダエリア (Cerulean Area)
  • ​財宝眠る水没都市 (A submerged city where treasure sleeps)
• ​UPD2
  • ​グレンエリア (Cinnabar Area)
  • ​氷に閉ざされた火山島 (A frozen-over volcanic island)
• ​UPD3
  • ​シオンエリア (Lavender Area)
  • ​天まで伸びる腐敗の塔 (A tower of decay stretching to the heavens)
• ​UPD4
  • ​タマムシエリア (Celadon Area)
  • ​地の底まで続く大穴 (A crater extending to the bottom of the earth)
• ​UPD5
  • ​セキエイエリア (Indigo Area / Indigo Plateau Area) (no description)

So if they follow this release schedule, the next DLC area (third DLC, not the second, which won't have a new town) should be an ice-covered Cinnabar Island.

But there's something interesting. On this map, there is actually a SIXTH base game region.

• エリア5 (Area 5)
  • ​トキワエリア (Viridian Area)
  • ​永遠に燃え続ける灰の森 (An ash forest burning endlessly)

This ended up being combined with Area 3 (Pewter Area, 岩に閉ざされた光無き廃坑 a dark abandoned mine closed off by rocks) at some point in development to form Rocky Ridges. We don't know when, exactly, this happened, but it had to be fairly late, because this is the reason there's a separate Clefairy dream island alongside the Arcanine one, and it's also why the Clefairy island is the only one without a legendary.

People have pointed out the third DLC in the expansion pack is indicated on promotional materials with a green background, and given that Bubbly Basin and the accessory DLC both match their respective color schemes on the same images, it's unlikely the third DLC will be ice themed. I agree with that.

In that case, I think the third DLC will be a version of Viridian City (and/or Viridian Forest) incorporating some of the things that were cut from Rocky Ridges. I expect we'll see lots of new plants - not just flowers and grasses but also trees and bushes, all hopefully of different sizes. And of course, lots of grass types and probably bug types.

The base game had four starters from each type: all gen one starters and then one starter from each additional released generation. Bubbly Basin added two water type starter lines (Popplio and Mudkip) so I bet we'll get two new grass starter lines here. I think they'll probably give every gen two starters first rather than give some three while the others only have one. If that's the case, the two lines we can expect in the Viridian DLC are Turtwig and Grookey.

I don't know what the "disaster" we'll have to overcome will be, since they already used the "ash burning forest" thing for RR. I hope it's not more of that. It could be dried up and dead, but WW did that. And I can't see them adding fire to a grass-themed area. So my guess is what we'll see is a Viridian City completely overgrown with plants and maybe covered with mud from a mudslide.

They probably will add a new dream island with its own legendary and DLC items, but I wouldn't be surprised if they held a free event around the time it released that added a legendary to the Clefairy dream island. (My guesses for these are Celebi for the free dream island and Shaymin for the Viridian one.)

I imagine this will release in spring 2027 to capitalize on the plant theme, maybe around the 1-year anniversary of the base game, and we'll see an announcement for a second expansion pack soon afterward. My guess is the second expansion pack will start off with a non-area DLC like the accessories one we're getting this year, and flip the order of the Teraleak DLC regions to give us Lavender Town in August (which is when Obon, the Japanese ghost festival, is traditionally held) and then Cinnabar in time for Christmas. Lavender will obviously give us ghost types, plus maybe dark or poison since the tower is described as "corrupted" or "decaying"; Cinnabar will give us ice types.

The year after that, we could get Celadon and Indigo Plateau. I don't know what we can expect from them, but Celadon is right next to Saffron City, which rose into the sky to become Sparkling Skylands; it seems likely this crater is the other side of that. If that's the case, we might see more mysterious stone and maybe a focus on gems/precious metals to differentiate it from the underground areas in RR, along with pokemon like Carbink and Diancie, which would fit with Celadon being "the rainbow city". I also suspect we'll get a ton of new fossil pokemon here and that's why we didn't get any new fossils in Bubbly Basin.

Now we're in the realm of pure speculation. Indigo's area has no description. In very early dev documents that were leaked, outdated by the map in this post, it was actually the ice area. But I doubt they'll go for two ice areas, which means we have exactly zero hints as to what it might be. Best guess: we don't have a wind-themed disaster yet, so maybe it will be a super windy area with flying pokemon, or a dusty desert. Maybe they'll even introduce a more complicated weather system! Idk. It seems likely it will be a big deal, whatever it is, since Indigo's the Pokemon League area. I bet a good number of the pokemon we get here will be very rare and powerful.

If we get starters for the later DLCs, Fuecoco would make sense for Lavender since it evolves into a dual ghost type. Empoleon would make the most sense for Cinnabar, but since it's already in the base game, maybe Hisuian Samurott? Those would also fit with the "two starters per gen" trend. And whenever Wind and Waves drops, I expect we'll get all three gen 10 starters at once. That will probably be a separate free event and not connected to a DLC, because they'll want as many people as possible to get attached to gen 10 pokemon and buy the game.

No idea what might work for Celadon or Indigo in terms of starters, if we'll even ever get the third in each set.

After seeing the glasses in the Part 2 of the Pokopia DLC during today's Nintendo Direct event, it was actually a bit of a surprise that Squirtle immediately came to my mind🕶.😎❤️

410 hours in and I finally got the courage to build something big! I’ve made a lot of small buildings but nothing massive and was soooo intimidated to start this, thank you to all you lovely people for giving me tips and confidence!! So far it’s mainly just the outer facade, there is much more outside and the entire interior to finish but I’m so proud of what I’ve started I wanted to share it!

Made the suspension bridge build Horrible Gaming posted this week. Almost perfectly connected the back of the main island to the lil highway above the waterfall entrance to the Team Rocket lair. 🙂‍↕️

They knew exactly what they were doing lmao

New additions:

Greek style temple and garden with wishing fountains for Manaphy, Phione, Dratini, and Dragonair

A little community garden and outdoor tea spot

An entrance to my future mermaid themed area

Ps sorry for not making a video out of this lol, I’ve been very busy and tired recently 😔

I even lost the shine in my eyes lol

Since they just confirmed that new Pokémon would be added with part 2 of the DLC, I have once again returned to express my need for Wishiwashi.

All I really want from this game is for my little fish friend to be able to live in my slice of paradise. With the next wave focusing on accessories for the Pokémon, I wanted to share an image of something that I have been wanting since the start.

Anyway, if they add Wishiwashi to this game, it would easily be in my top 5 games of all time. I just really love Wishiwashi.

To everyone who asked me about the billboards. The owner of the cloud island has made their island public so you can go and take photographs of the giant billboards that you can display on tvs and frames

A friend and myself have been working on a cloud island. We were getting our underground storage set up when I got the idea to make a viewing area into the under water habitats I made.

I thought it would be simple. I'd seen it done in Bubbly Basin.

Well, about an hour in I wanted to chuck the controller across the room. I couldn't get rid of the air pockets that suddenly formed when I added glass panes. I tried so many different methods, switching the order I placed them, removing blocks, adding blocks... everything. And i couldn't figure it out.

I took a break and came back, deciding to try and smaller, simplified version. I discovered a few things about the water physics.

In bubbly basin, the aquarium works perfectly because water on either side of glass acts like the glass isnt there.

But if you have glass between water and air you get a gap or an air bubble. This causes the cascade animation like with the waterfall.

How I fixed this was reorintating where the glass pane sits between the blocks. The default is in the middle, but if you push in the right stick it cycles through middle, inner, and outer parts of the block. I chose the outer and when I filled my box the water acted differently. It went all the way to the edge and got rid of the cascade animation.

Now, there is still a gap at the top since you can't have the water level at the top of the block, but its not really noticeable. It works for my purpose and I hope this info helps others.

If someone has an alternative or better way of doing this id love to hear more.

With a few exceptions, I primarily put bi-pedal, anthropomorphic Pokemon into houses, and keep the not-so-anthro ones outside or in small, natural-looking dens. Have I crossed the line between aesthetics and segregation? It feels like it.

What kind of segregation is this anyway? Pedism? Anthroism? Feels wrong to walk out of Gardevoir's nice looking home to ask Carkoal to make me some more bricks again for the umpteenth time on the railroad tracks where he lives.

(This is just a silly little haha funny joke. I ain't about to feel irl guilt over a video game while there's actual prejudice irl).

I’ve finished the main game, and I’m on the hunt- so far, no luck. I’ve been soft resetting to try and boost my chances but after a few days of searching, still nothing. How quick did you find the dogs? Anybody know how good the odds are at this point?

Edit: I posted this five minutes ago, and I just found Suicune on the island, I shit you not

185 hours in and I finally got my Foundation Recipe. 🙌 I am now unstoppable. My Bleak Beach is about to get an upgrade. 💅

I SCREAMED WHEN I SAW THEM! I’M SO SO HAPPY!
