Taeyl, the first Continent

PDoA2's main goal is to deviate away from the standard convention of Pokemon gaming. A set number of towns that follow each other all on a path, difficulty getting harder the further you go down this path. It was a boring concept and became an expected thing on Pokemon games. All roads were numbered Routes... It was all just a bit boring. And instead of creating my 'special' regions that do the same thing, like I did in PDoA Classic (it seems alot of you have gone and called it that now) I want there to be a vast and connected world of continents. For final release, 1 continent will be okay for now, but the plans speak of three. Of course, this leaves plenty of room for added content.

Here is a picture of Taeyl, the first continent.

Notice how there is none of that straight line crap all the Pokemon games did. This is a full blown continent. You may visit each city in any order you want to, and do whatever, and travel down the path you choose. There's not a straight shot and there will be enough mixing and mingling on the roads between each city... Everything will just feel more vast. This is a huge project in itself, do don't expect us to just throw continents together like we did with the regions.

Each piece of the key means something. A town and city are obvious towns and cities. Important cities are cities that house gyms. Special Areas will be the caves, pass overs, lakes and forests, and any other major area of interest. The Sea Route will be a route only accessible with surf. Roads are obviously roads. The Capitol is completely fluff. It will house a gym, but it will be assumed to be the capitol of the continent. It will be the biggest city in the continent. Look out because player owned shops will getting more of a make over because of this concept. And I believe it's obvious what the start town is. It's the ton you start it. Not every continent is going to have a start town, haha. Just this particular one.

And for all those Curious George's out there, yes. Taeyl is pronounced "tail" and is named that for a very distinct reason. Do you think you know why? :P /endsarcasm.

Anyhow, that's enough spoiling of stuff. I'll add more updates when they come out. I linked to the map on the side links there so enjoy the view whenever.

Comment what you think! :)
