The game takes place in the Tervari region, which is almost as big as Kanto and Johto combined. As a whole, Tervari isn't as developed as urbanized regions such as Unova or Kalos, but makes it up with more diverse cultures and interesting folklore, as well as never-before-seen Pokemon that are not found in other regions.
Plot so far:
You start out in Luxuria Suburbs as a teenager who, along with your two childhood friends Kathryn and Devon, idolizes the Tervari Region's emerging peace-enforcing group named Team Aegis. You and your friends go to Luxuria City to participate in a pokemon lottery sponsored by Team Aegis. But on the way, you bump on somebody who's in a hurry who dropped a lottery ticket, and by some weird twist of fate (yeah riiight), you win the grand prize: three pokemon! You and your friends divide the spoils, pick a starter pokemon amongst yourselves, and strive to join Team Aegis! And thus your adventure begins!
Features:
New region, new characters, regional dex composed entirely of fakemons, you know the drill. However, the storyline is what I'm interested in developing. More interaction, more fleshed-out characters, a gameplot that unfolds differently depending on your choices, kickass folklore, and a possible love interest of sorts developing postgame is what I'm hoping to incorporate in this project.
Introducing the Map of Tervari!
Disambiguation: Terra[land, ground, earth] + Varietas[variety, diversity, difference]
Can be translated as "Diverse Land" or "Land of Different People and Places".
Tervari is a very big and diverse region, taking up two map screens (a la Kanto x Johto), however it is divided into a north sub-region and a south sub-region. (If we base on the ds emulator, each screen can show one sub-region)
North Tervari is basically composed of highlands such as a tundra area, a plateau, a mountain range and the pokemon world's highest mountain, the Mountain of Creation, where the region's Creator is said to reside. Compared to South Tervari, the north is more rural, but is rich in tradition and folklore. It features a city composed of treehouses (a la Fortree City) which has the Tree of Knowledge in its core (a humongous Library Treehouse) and a japanese-themed city that is dubbed 'The First Hamlet of Tervari' which is now the most populated area in the region(and possibly the world), taking up a whole plateau in size and housing 3(!) gyms. Three rivers flow from the northern part of North Tervari to the largest lake in the world, the Great Basin, which is rumored to have great secrets within. It is surrounded by a peculiar mountain range formation which makes it look like a literal basin. On the Southeast part is Ash Mountain, an active volcano which spews ash more often than lava. On the southwest is Rune Desert, a desert that was said to be a city that got pulverized when a powerful pokemon rampaged.
South Tervari is mostly urbanized, and is split into east and west by the Tervari Canyon, which stems from the mountains that hold the Great Basin. The long coastline of South Tervari is made up of white sandy beaches, stretching from west to east. On the sea are some islands accessible by boat. Most notable are the Red Feather Island, Yellow Feather Island and Blue Feather Island, in which 3 ancient lighthouses stand. These lighthouses are said to be pokemon-made, and as to why pokemon built them is currently unknown. Local folklore states that Legendary Pokemon sleep within each island.
Formerly in the eastern coast of South Tervari, the Pokemon League is now situated at the center of the subregion, directly at the end of the Tervari Canyon.
