Description

Please note: This map predates Kalos (and Unova, for that matter), so, no, it is not included here, and that is not likely to change at this point - this is a design for our Earth in a Pokémon setting, and while the games take real-life regions as inspiration, they aren't on "Earth" as we know it.


Map of the European leagues of the IAPL (WIP)

Given that the IAPL is now defunct and shows no signs of coming back any time soon, I'd like to resurrect the maps as either an RP setting or just as an interesting look at how Pokémon regions might come together with our world.

If anyone would like to help me plot out the routes, cities and points of interest for regions that are unfinished (ideally every region should look like that of France/Benelux, "Gallic", or the Russian region on the right, "Muscovy") then get in touch! I'd love to make this set of maps complete.

Given the amount of work that has gone into this, I would ask that if you want to use it for your RPs (or for any other reason) then you contact me first. Palettes and style are ripped from HGSS.

I think you should add more places to Balkans. :/
Countries like Albania and Montenegro have barely a route and a city. (And for Albania that's not even Tirana but Shkoder instead)
And maybe do other important places, like a city in Transylvania, or maybe add places like Auschwitz. In general I think you should add more places to Balkans & Central Europe. :/
(btw where is Kosovo?)

The :/ faces seem to imply that you haven't realised that this isn't a finished map.    If you'd like to give me some more specific cities and locations as you have already, that'd be great!

For Albania you could make a point-of interest near the only city you've put(Shkoder)because there is the Skhoder lake. And maybe one city at the center(Tirana), one at the very west-center (Durres) and one at west-south(Vlore), these two near the sea. (I will now search for the others, too. :v )

None of these regions are the official regions from the games, they're all invented.  Perhaps you're thinking of this?  niknaks93.deviantart.com/art/P…

There would be if anyone had ever finished a region with it in!  Hungary also suffers from the same problem on this map.  If you feel like giving me some ideas about which places to add, I might someday be able to complete that area.

Nice!  The region set aside for Finland includes the Kola peninsula in Russia.  If you make it, perhaps I could add it here.

Well Deoxys and Jirachi are already said to come from the stars, so there's certainly some precedent already set!

WOW, props to you for putting these together! You really put a lot of detail into this. If I'm ever not quite as busy as I am at the moment, I'd like to lend a hand with some of the unfinished sections.

NikNaks93 In reply to MiraKial [2013-10-24 18:45:59 +0000 UTC]

Well, thanks!  I really like your maps, too (they seem perfectly suited to the anime with the additional locations), and the most help I require is really with points of interest like forests and caves and whatnot.  I notice you're in the US, so if you happen to know much about New England, that'd be ideal for my North America map...

MiraKial In reply to NikNaks93 [2013-10-26 17:43:15 +0000 UTC]

Thanks so much! Yes, I could probably pull together a list of natural landmarks in that area.

NikNaks93 In reply to AGV120395 [2013-10-22 17:31:38 +0000 UTC]

New York is on the NAPL map despite Unova being there, and on this scale, northern France is too small for a whole region on its own.  This predates Kalos by several years, so I think I'll leave it.
