25: Town Map

Today we begin fleshing out the map of the Olcea region, giving a general rundown of the layout of the region, ready to start building up our routes, forests, caves, and more! And Alex wants to make a fakemon following the mould of a simple animal that's inspired many Pokémon.

Show me your moves! This week we're talking about unique attacks for some of the Pokémom we've made previously on the show. Some combine for powerful effects with their abilities, others are flavourful abilities for some of our coolest fakemon. And Alex introduces us to another new round friend.

We're revisiting each of the gyms we've made with our many guests, and building up their towns, describing them in more detail and naming them after important figures from the world of Pokémon. Alex leads us in creating a pacific coastal fakemon that we can't believe hasn't yet been a Pokémon.

Remember HMs? Us too. That's why Pokémon North and South won't have any! So let's talk about what abilities we can use to help navigate Olcea, and how much we love puzzles! And of course, we make a delightful new fakemon with a unique type.
