A while back in 2015, we started planning an entire region for a Pokemon roleplay. We had a decent amount of information everything; what country it was supposed to be based on, areas for the roleplay based on some of the different real-life towns, cities, and landmarks of the country we chose, some of the cultural aspects of it, and more. At one point I even typed a backstory to one of the cities - I think it involved three brothers. It was going to be a pretty big network of roleplaying and events, and we wanted to make it to where it felt more like a world than one isolated area. People would be able to make characters in every town and then move them like the characters in the games going from one town to the next. There would be different goals set for multiple interests so that no-one would get bored.
Unfortunately, if we tried to make that roleplay on Warriors now... it might not be too successful. The site is slowly dying, and it's possible that not a lot of members would join.
Even so, I thought it'd be a good idea to get the stuff we planned for the roleplay put down here, so that we can have access to it even after I delete Roleplay Haven. Even if we don't make it a network of roleplaying, we could possibly use the info for simple world-building for something else.
Sooooo yeah. I'll separate the info properly and possibly provide references to how it was planned. The first post after this will be for the general information; what the region is based on, the names and short descriptions of the areas within, and some of the events. The next few posts will be for expanded, more detailed information of each area.
The layout for each of the individual posts about each area will be...
- Description of the RP Area
- Short Description of the area it is based off of
- Some word-for-word quotes of when we talked about it
- Images of the real-life areas  Table of Contents:

Overall Information Region Layout This region is largely based on the country of Italy, but there are some areas that are inspired by other parts of the world. The Region was named Renascentia, which is the Latin word for rebirth or time.
City Based On Rome: A city with a coliseum. People compete in the coliseum, but it is completely safe and made for pure entertainment. They normally do small events for anyone who shows up, but once a year they host a grand competition for the best battlers across the globe. The champions arrive to watch the festivities, as well as champions from other regions. In the past, unfortunately, the coliseum was actually used for bloody and fatal brawls for the carnal entertainment of the audience. They have always been allied with Verona. There is a gigantic wall around the entire city that was once used for defense, but is now used more for transportation. It has a fighting type gym. NAMED IMPERIUM.
City Based On Venice: A water city based on Venice. Throughout the entire world, the part of the sea around Venice is the clearest and cleanest, and the fish are the healthiest. The city is lit up by beautiful, dazzling lights at night. It has a water-type gym. It can sometimes be in danger of flooding.
City Based on Pompei: ----- NAMED SERVETUR.
City Based on Verona This city is based on Verona, the setting of Romeo and Juliet. It is one of the more old-fashioned areas of this region, and is known as the city of love. There are festivals from time to time that celebrate love and friendship, but there is one grand festival that happens once every year. It picks out the cutest couple (even if they're not together) and, at the end of the night, a fake wedding is held for the two. It has a dual-type gym (likely electric-faerie). Verona was actually once two different cities named Jestal and _____ that came together when young royals from each fell for each other. Jestal, and Verona after it, were allies with Rome and would fight different enemies together. NAMED SAECULA.
Town Known For It's Food: A town known for it's food with the best restaurants around.
Town Based On Isola di Burano: A small town where art is highly expressed, and every single home is colored brightly.
Village Based On Cortina d'Ampezzo: A small village settled in the mountains. It is usually covered with snow, and has a popular snow-skiing resort. It has the ice-type gym. Near the village there is a small crevice in the wall of a mountain that leads inside to an old shrine for Regice. NAMED NIX IGNIS.
City Based On Catacombs: An underground city that is very loosely based on the Catacombs of Rome. We weren't originally going to make the Underground City have any catacombs. (But now we can maybe discuss that.) Even without the catacombs, they are a city that honors and respects the dead, and celebrates holidays similar to Day of the Dead and Halloween. Most of the homes and buildings are built higher up in the tunnel in case it starts to flood. NAMED SEPELUM. (Decided from the Latin Cuniculum [tunnel] and Sepeline [bury].)
Town Based On (UNKNOWN): A town where it constantly rains. NAMED TEMBUS. (Decided from the Latin words Tempestatem [storm] and Sepeline [bury].)
City Based On (Possibly Siena): A city that prides itself on it's horses and uses them for sport and transportation. Every single year they hold a race, and the winner is given prizes. Based off of the Palio di Siena of Siena, Italy.
City Based On Sicily: --
Town and Ruins Based On Ostia Antica: Only a very few people live in Ostia Antica, and it is in order to tend to the upkeep of the ruins and keep them from vandalizing them. NOT THE SAME AS THE LEGENDARY RUINS.

Area Based on Blue Grotto: The Blue Grotto is a sea cave in Capri that has blue light that reflects off of the water.
Area Based On the natural spas of Saturnia in Tuscany: --
Area Based On the Renaissance gardens of the Villa d'Este in Tivoli: --
Area Based On Aspen Grove in Utah, United States: A forest that has more or less grown to become a maze. There was originally one tree, but it has multiplied, and now there are clothes of the exact same tree everywhere.
Area Based On Pantheon: The Pantheon is a temple that has lasted for thousands of years in Rome. While it is now used as a church, it was once used as a temple to honor all of the gods. This area is not in Rome's RP-counterpart Imperium, but rather a usually unvisited ruin.
Lake Based On (UNKNOWN): A lake whose surface reflects light and resembles rainbow water. (2019 Note: Based on the Grand Prismatic Spring of Yellowstone?)
_____: --
_____: --
_____: --
_____: --Plots World-Affecting PlotsTeam Utopia: Team Utopia was the bad organization for the region. They wanted to destroy Arceus in order to get the power to improve the world.
Relics: There were relics that Team Utopia were going to try and collect. When they were found and activated, they would have helped them change the world. These different relics would be found in different ruins, which explains why there are more ruins than there are usually in other regions. Smaller Plots---Other World-building Information Two Champions: There were going to be two champions in this roleplay. |

Imperium City (Rome) Physical Characteristics -----Description of what it's Based On -----Discussion Surrounding This Area Maybe Rome can have a great wall, because I remember in the story of Romulus and Remus that, when Remus made fun of the small wall Romulus had built, Romulus killed him? Maybe, in the roleplay, not only is it a tourist spot sort of like the Great Wall of China, but it is also a means for people to get around in the city if the main streets are packed?
