This took AGES. Why oh why did I decide to make this first page so background heavy! :'D ...Probably because I wanted it to look impressive, and secretly because I absolutely love drawing those cityscapes. No seriously, if there's anything I LOVE it's designing cities. I had fun!
Alright, so anyways. Welcome to my Nuzlocke FoRLoVE, it will be a ride! I have been writing this story since early 2018, but the protagonist Eclipse I designed back in 2008... She was originally part of a story I was writing called Pokemon Folklore, which also took place in Johto. For FoRLoVE, I decided to dump a ton of worldbuilding on top of an already incredible game-story, fingers crossed that it will turn out okay X.
Now, for some story and worldbuilding info, without delving into spoilers:
- You may have already gotten it from the text, but this story takes place twenty years after the events of the Pkmn Red and Blue games. In the original games, Gold/Silver take place only three years after, however I felt like I needed more time in this story to make several events believable. It won't change the story of the game in any way ;D
- I upgraded the size of New Bark Town severely. In this story, I try to refer to the real Japan wherever I can. That means that New Bark Town in my story is based on Shizuoka, the city New Bark was originally based on! I didn't just copy-paste Shizuoka however, instead I designed my own city. There's places in that city I would love to visit, like the older street built next to the river, the shopping dome, a big park with a pagoda and lake, and of course the ferris wheel xD Can you find them all? <,<
- For those who don't know; I'm a geologist! I love science, and wanted a way to combine science with Pokemon. Well, it turns out you're going to learn some geology stuff in this comic, because Eclipse has exactly the same profession+specialization as I do, and is going to do a massive research project in Johto xD And yes, I actually studied the geology of Japan for this...
- There is 19 species of Pokemon on this page (billboard included). Can you SPOT THEM ALL?
The next page will be done waaaaay quicker, because it doesn't contain as many detailed backgrounds. Are you ready to meet Prof. Elm and the Starters?

Oh no, is that the impression that sentence gives out? XD In that case I'll think of changing it :')

Ooooh! Yes, that's true for the games! I also found it weird that some had two versions...
