If you've been keeping up with Generation 8, you might've heard or seen stuff about the new Wild Area. If you're unfamiliar with this, the Wild Area is a big and wide open space that has a variety of Pokemon based on location, and weather. 

Wild Area:

Well, upon looking at this, I decided that I wanted to challenge myself and do something similar, but expand on it. Thus, I present to you, Route 4, The Reservoir.

The Reservoir:

What is the Reservoir? It's a giant and wide open area that expands over time .Route 4 never had a good design because I had no idea what to do with it. One of the only areas that wasn't planned out at all. You can tell that much from just playing through it. So I transformed it into something with substance, A place you can actually do things in.

What's different?

Well, for one, the place is absolutely massive. One of the largest areas in the game, actually. The path to Akuwa Town is short and simple, but once you start exploring, a whole new world is opened up to you. I don't want to show the entire map, but here's a little bit of context on how big this map is:

This small snip-it is only about 1/8th of the place. It's pretty empty right now as most of it isn't even evented, however, I have a lot of plans for this place.

What are the benefits of being here?
Nothing is set in stone as this is pretty early on, but, this is what I have in mind:

Everything in the Reservoir has scaling:

  • Levels
  • Exp growth
  • IV's
  • Shiny Rate
  • Money Gain

Knowing all this is great and all, but how exactly will they scale? As of right now, the plan is to have playtime influence scalings. Although that is the plan, I am aware of how easily this can be abused. One could just afk on a new file and run into level 80 mons without even facing Valarie. I have a few ideas to prevent this, but I shall share those at another point.


That's all I have to show for now, though. Like I said before, nothing here is 100% set in stone, but it's what I would like to have here. Will I stuff all of Gen 8 into this place? Probably not, but Wooloo is def gonna be here... Maybe. We'll see.

Thank you guys for supporting me, I hope you have a wonderful week!
