Part 24: Route 26 and 27

Part 24

How long has it been? 2 months? I had this planned for release since October 2016 but just didn't get around to it until now.

Route 27

Route 27 is the first step into Kanto. It is a long east-west route set on the side of a cliff. 

The route is a mix of ocean, foothills and mountains.

The route is held together with two bridges, staircases and Tohjo Falls to make the route traversable.

Tohjo Falls is a feature on the route that must be navigated to get to the other side. It was built away from the route as that is how caves are now produced. It is a normal cave with coarse dirt walls, floor and ceiling.

Deep inside Tohjo Falls is a broken radio. No idea why.

Tohjo Falls is quite tall as it need to accommodate a waterfall. This will become quite annoying later when the time comes to smooth the exterior to blend into the overworld without comprimising the interior of Tohjo falls too much.

The front wall was quite plain looking so some extra coarse dirt was brushed on to make it more interesting.

With a roof attached you get the mysterious dark glow that caves really require.

Route 26

This route is a north-south route. At the southern end is the route 26/27 intersection and at the northern end is the soon to be constructed Pokemon League reception gate.

The route goes up the side of a mountain. It was constructed in layers to accurately reproduce the route.

Details such as the grass, trees and other vegetation get added as well as buildings.

Once the trees are grown the route can be declared complete.

Part 14: Route 45 and Route 46

Part 14

Route 45

Time for the mountain roads. Both these routes are one way routes that descent from Blackthorn City back to the starting town.

Route 46

A reasonably sized route. It is one way with ledges preventing progress right after the tall grass. It is best accessed by descending route 45. 

This route is also an access point for Dark Cave right up in the northern part of the route.

And here is route 46 all complete.

Route 45

Route 45 is the longest route in Johto. The route connects Blackthorn City to route 46. It is (in the DS game) a one way route starting from the north. Here in Minecraft though it can be traversed in any direction you choose. 

The route was built layer by layer. Because of the way I built these route, for accuracy I use the actual DS game to get measurements. Because it's a one way route I had to keep moving back to the start. A minor inconvenience but it was worth it.

The landscape complete. Just the plant life needs to be added now.

Trees.
