3: Rencian Starter Pokémon

A new region and generation naturally means one thing - we need new starter Pokémon! Today we're making those starters, thinking about the themes we want to convey, and also which themes we're leaving behind. Who will be your first partner in this new fakemon region?

2: New Type

As we begin season 2, just like gen II of Pokémon, we're playing in a fun space that we've never explored before - adding a new type! Then we've got a brand new fakemon to represent that type!

1: The Rencia Region

It's time for a new adventure! We're beginning a new journey exploring the Rencia region. Today we decide on which real world area to base our new region, the names of the games, and the major themes. And of course, and all new fakemon to be the mascot of season 2.

With all of our fakemon made, its time to round out the Olcea Pokédex with older Pokémon that can be caught in Pokémon North and South.

42: Gotta Make 'Em All Part 2

Continuing from last time, we're spending the whole episode making new Pokémon, but this time they're all non-regional variant evolutions of older Pokémon. In fact, this episode is the last of Pokémon North and South for which we're making new fakemon. We're in the endgame now!

40: Victory Road

We've collected our badges, weve defeated Team Astro, and we've explored almost every corner of Olcea. Today is the final test of a trainer's readiness to take on the Pokémon League: Victory Road. We recently visited Crater Lake, so we're bringing you this from first hand experience! And of course, we have another fakemon that'll help you be ready for anything.

39: Plot and Themes

All the pieces are falling into place. The Olcea map is almost complete, and we have all our characters... now it's time to draft the entire main plot of Pokémon North and South! We also discuss the themes of the games, and provide another fakemon for your party.

38: Field Abilities Part 2

As you traverse Olcea, you'll collect the Elemental Shards. These special stones give your Pokémon the ability to gain a third type in battle - but they also grant helpful abilities in the field. Today, we're determining exactly what those abiliities are, and how you can use them to aid in your travels. And we've got two fakemon for the price of one!

36: Map Gaps

The Olcea Map is almost complete, but we have just a few more areas to fill in, such as optional bonus areas for side quests or little details to fill in some routes. Alex introduces a a fakemon inspired by a spooky ghost story, an artist from Seattle, and a very unassuming creature.

35: Cryptic Fields

Every region has its own unique and special ways to encounter Pokémon, and Olcea is no different. Today we're discussing the Cryptic Fields, a phenomenon unique to Olcea for encountering rare Pokémon, such as shinies or those with hidden abilities! And we have not one, but two new fakemon.

33: Southern Routes

Filling in the gaps in the map of Olcea, JD brings us more Pokémon routes inspired by California's National Parks (and maybe inadvertently Yellowstone too). Then we get a three stage fakemon to be found amongst the treetops.

As a counterpart to our post-game area in Olcea's south, Alex brings us an ice-capped - but active! - volcano inspired by Mount St Helens, and another cryptid inspired mythical Pokémon - our creepiest fakemon ever!

31: Northern Routes

Today we're filling in the route in northern Olcea, plotting the terrain and features, and how they differ between versions. JD leads on a pair of version exclusive fakemon, sharing a Native American myth as inspiration.
