just remembered when I was planning a PokéRole campaign that took place in a version of Kanto that was 10 years after Gen 2, with a couple new towns and some map changes I thought were neat.

Cinnbar Island would have been rebuilt as New Cinnabar, a floating city utilizing thermoelectric power from the volcano and run by Blaine's daughter. She'd also be a new Steel-type Gym Leader and had a techy wheelchair that could also become an exoskeleton for her legs. Kinda a ItSV Doc Ock vibe to her, her ace was Magnezone.

A couple other fun locations were Russet City (North of Pewter), Patina Docks and Celeste Town (North of Lavender), while the Indigo Plateau was rebuilt, after a landslide took out Victory Road, as the Indigo Plaza with a massive Stadium in the vein of Wyndon in Galar.

Anyway. Found the map I made in SwSh-style that I still think came out so so sick. Here it is.

#pokemon #kanto region #pkmn #my art #probably won't do anything w this unless the hyperfixation reawakens and i go crazy go stupid w it #none of the new locations were based on any particular town or area in real life kanto - they were mostly added to further #kanto's themes of industrialization clashing with nature #gym types are marked on the map - misty and brock became elite four members along with falkner and a fairy-type specialist oc #so that's why no pewter gym and why cerulean has a normal-type gym now #idea w indigo plaza/stadium was to incorporate the anime's tournament format into the league #then say that the winner of that would get a chance to challenge the elite four and the champion - who was Will from GSC #i spent so much time on the worldbuilding and not so much on the story bc i didn't wanna think up a structured plot until i had players #idk maybe one day i'll get back into rom hacking and make this real who knows anythings possible
