Part 22: Safari Zone

Part 22

Part 22 is the Safari Zone. Exclusive to the Gen IV games it is set in far west Johto. It is place in the games where you can catch 'rare and exclusive' Pokemon.

The Safari Zone in the DS games can have up to six different areas at any one time. But because this isn't the DS game all 12 zones are here.

First up is the Savannah. Open spaces with small patches of grass shaded by acacia trees.

Next to the Savannah is the 'Peak' area. It is a rocky peak made from red sandstone with granite pathways.

And next to that is the Mountain area. Dense trees hide the grassy patches that are set within.

And there is the first three.

Next is the 'Plains' area. It is quite plain hahahaha with ample grassy patches and oak trees here and there.

Next to that is the Marshland. Similar to a swamp there are pools of stagnant water with damp oak trees surrounding them.

North of that is the desert. Very similar to the Savannah area. Acacia trees have been substituted for oak and there is less grass.

Next door is the Meadow. A wide open space with fresh ponds, flowers and tall grass.

And that is the third row complete. The area at the bottom of the screenshot is the Wasteland. I jost forgot to take a screenshot of it.

Well, that's nine of them done.

The last three we'll go over quickly. On the left is rocky beach, in the centre is the Forest and on the right is the Swampland.

The entrance to the Safari zone. There is a small town at the entrance. When I say town I mean more like a market. In the DS games you just buy stuff you don't need here.

I forgot to mention the Safari Zone was built in a separate world file. I had no idea how big it would get or how to properly place it.

The entrance. Modified slightly to accommodate the interior.

Part 8: National Park and Route 37

Part 8

National Park by Morning

Route 37

Route 37 is a tiny route in central Johto. It connects route 36 to Ecruteak with the closest other city being Violet City. It is only 64x64 blocks wide and is about as basic as a route gets. 

The process is the same process as usual. Create borders and fill them in with trees.

And there it is all complete.

National Park

The National Park is one of the largest landmarks in Johto. Nothing special happens here except the Bug Catching contests in the GBC and DS games. 

A characteristic of the park is its huge Pokeball defined with tall grass in the upper and lower halves with a large fountain in the centre.

The park is a little non-standard with its size. It pushes about half a chunk too far north of where I'd like it to be. So I guess Route 38 which is directly north of the park will be modified to fit.

Another thing that is a little non-standard. The gates don't quite line up.

Simple solution. Block off one entrance/exit on each station and build a tunnel to connect them.

Another thing that needed to be changed was the picnic area at the southern end. It only had to be mirrored otherwise the building to access the National Park from Route 35 would have to be widened to twice its width.

Trees go in now. Same process as always.

But not before adding some scenery.

Ok, now the trees. Now it is finished.

If you are wondering if I'd forgotten about the Pokeathlon Dome, I haven't, It just wont fit otherwise it will conflict with Olivine City when it's build. But if it does fit, it gets built.
