Route 1 connects Merida and Hodik. You can find mostly young normal types, and some water types at the beach.

A short ways off the coast, close enough to be able to swim there, there is a small island, no more than a rocky outcropping thrust up by an earthquake with a few stunted plants on it.

Hodik is where the first Pok?mon Contest is held. It has the first Poke Mart, so it would be a good idea to stock up on supplies for your journey.

Sub-boards: Pokemon Center, Poke Mart, Contest Stage, Police Department

Hodik Forest connects Hodik and Route 3. Many bug types can be found here. Because of this the forest is not a good place for people who dislike bugs. A few young forest dwelling flying or normal types may also be found.

Route 2 connects Hodik and Palakalo. Some low-level grass types and a few weak electric types can be found here.

Palakalo is a gym city. There is a huge library here. If you wish to learn about something related to Pok?mon, stop by.

Sub-boards: Pokemon Center, Gym, Poke Mart, Library, Police Department

Route 3 connects Hodik Forest and Batakalo. Low level fighting types like to train here. A few fire types may also be found.

Batakalo is a gym city. There is a store that sells hand-made supplies for trainers.

Moderator: Poisoncat

Sub-boards: Pokemon Center, Gym, Poke Mart, Craft Shop, Police Department

Route 4 connects Palakalo and the Bathal Forest. There are a good many grass types here. Some slightly stronger normal types may also be found.

Bathal Forest is between Route 4 and Iskam. Dark, ghost, and poison Pok?mon have completely taken over this forest. Be careful if you travel through it, some can be quite territorial.

Moderator: Poisoncat

Iskam is a Contest city. There is also a trainer’s school where you can learn to work as a team with your Pok?mon. A Pok?mon Adoption Center has recently opened at the edge of town.

Sub-boards: Pokemon Center, Poke Mart, Contest Stage, Adoption Center, Police Department

Route 5 connects Batakalo and the Danno Pass. Many psychic and ground types live in this area.

Route 6 connects Batakalo and Iskam. A wide range of Pok?mon can be found here.

The Anisal Desert is most easily accessed from the middle of Route 6. Rock and ground types can readily be found here.

Route 7 connects Iskam and Catatumbo. Some strong poison types and a few flying types can be found here.

Route 8 connects Iskam and the Zigar Mountains. A good many steel types can be found here, as well as some rock and ground types, especially closer to the mountains.

The Zigar Mountains connect Route 8 and Casakalo Some rock, ground, and steel types can be found here. Some ice types may also be found further up the mountains.

Casakalo is a gym city. There is also a man who makes extremely good fishing poles. This is also where the ferry and airline that connects Yeska to other regions is.

Sub-boards: Pokemon Center, Gym, Poke Mart, Pier, Ferry, Airport, Police Department

The Dano Pass connects both Route 5 and Route 10 with Dano. Many rock and ground types can be found here.

Dano is a Pok?mon Contest city. There is also a contest held here every few months. An archaeologist lives here. Maybe you should pay her a visit.

Lamakalo is a gym city. There is also a water race around the island.

Many rare and strong Pok?mon live in the Lamakalo forest because it is a Pok?mon Preserve. You may be able to catch Pok?mon here, but you must get a pass at the Ranger Station, otherwise you will be arrested for poaching.

Sub-board: Ranger Station

Sanakalo is a gym city. It is rumored that some gem and evolution stones can be found in the mountains, if you know where to look that is. There is also a jeweler who will buy any stones you find for a reasonable price, or make it into some jewelry for a small fee.

Sub-boards: Pokemon Center, Gym, Poke Mart, Jewlery Shop, Police Department

The Sanakalo Mountains are home to dragon types as well as a good many ice Pok?mon. The whole island is volcanic, and the mountains are actually volcanos. They haven't errupted in a long time, but they are active. When you get high enough up the mountains the ice melts and many fire Pok?mon can be found. It is rumored that an odd cave recently appeared that nobody dares to explore. Will you be the one to find out what is inside?

Sub-board: An Odd Cave...

Catatumbo is a contest city. It is a lakeside city where all those who live here are at one with the water and water Pok?mon. One of the favored pastimes of the locals is sailing and other water sports.

Moderator: Poisoncat

Sub-boards: Pokemon Center, Poke Mart, Contest Stage, Police Department, The River, Power Plant, Lake Catatumbo

Route 9 connects Catatumbo and the Hishka Desert. There are a good many fighting types and a few steel types here.

This facility is located on a sheer cliff on the coastline between the Zigar Mountains and the Hishka Desert, and provides the metal for most products in Yeska. It is greatly despised by environmentalists because of the horrible pollutants it dumps directly into the ocean with no water treatment at all. This has killed all the native fish Pok?mon that would normally live in the area, which have been replaced with Muk and Grimer. They completely cover the water's surface a mile from the facility, and it is impossible to see anything below the surface. Because of this the smell here is simply horrendous, and only the facility workers and environmentalist protesters come here. Well, trainers come it's only because they want to catch a Muk or Grimer.

The Hishka Desert connects route 9 and Nafakalo. Many strong steel types live here as well as the usual desert dwellers. Be careful, the way through the Hishka Desert can barely be described as a path. It is hard to follow even in the best of days, but during or after a sandstorm it can be nearly impossible to find. It is a good idea to stock up on supplies, or even hire a guide before you attempt to cross it.

Nafakalo is a gym city. The HQ of Yeska Radio is here. You may be able to get a tour if you catch them on a slow day.

Sub-boards: Pokemon Center, Gym, Poke Mart, Radio Tower, Police Department

Route 10 connects the Dano Pass and Yadakalo. Many different Pok?mon can be found here, all cute or beautiful. Experts are baffled as to the cause of this; perhaps that mansion roughly in the middle of the route has something to do with it.

Sub-board: Mansion

Yadakalo is a gym city. An old trainer lives here. It is said that she is an expert on Pok?mon. Maybe you should pay her a visit.

Sub-boards: Pokemon Center, Gym, Poke Mart, Trainer's House, Police Department

Route 11 connects Catatumbo and Akitolu. For some odd reason all the Pok?mon here are cats, dogs, or rodents.

Akitolu is a contest city. The department store here is famous not only for being the largest store in Yeska, but also for having some of the best variety of all the regions. You can find just about anything here.

Sub-boards: Pokemon Center, Contest Stage, Department Store, Police Department

Route 12 connects Nafakalo and Habakalo. Many psychic and bug types can be found here.

Route 13 connects Akitolu and Habakalo. Many strong flying types live in the area.

Habakalo is a gym city. A loaner scientist lives here. Some say that she is absolutely insane, other say she’s a genius. Maybe stopping by would be a good idea, or…maybe it wouldn’t.

Sub-boards: Poke Mart, Pokemon Center, Gym, Scientist's Lab, Police Department

Route 14 connects Habakalo and the Kithilan Forest. Many powerful fire Pok?mon can be found here.

The Kithilan Forest connects Yadakalo, Route 14, and Route 15. It is very large and the trees are densely packed. It can be nearly pitch black in the middle of the day because the trees block the sunlight from reaching the ground. Because of this there are very few shrubs and other low-lying vegetation. There are many ghost and dark types living here because of the constant darkness. The normal forest dwellers can also be found.

Route 15 connects the Kithilan Forest and Kyzyl. Nearly any type of Pok?mon can be found here, all strong.

A quaint little grassy path with a few EXTREMELY friendly Pok?mon. Most are so young that they have no fear of humans and they are really easy to catch.

Jade City is basically a town that loves Pok?mon contests. Although it has no gym, it has a grand Pok?mon Contest stage and contests are held there often. From Jade City you have two directions you can go, you can go to the North and go into the Sapphire Mountain range or west to Fort Chalcedony.

Sub-boards: Pokemon Center, Pokemon Contest Stage, Parade Route, Police Department

Route 2 leads from Jade City to Fort Chalcedony. It has a nice river running through the route, but the bridge looks a bit old.

Route 3 leads from Jade City to the base of the Sapphire Mountains.

Fort Chalcedony was once a big fort (as the name suggests) for a war. Now it is simply a town one of a few things of interest here are the old war museum... This is a Gym City.

Sub-boards: Pokemon Center, Gym, Poke Mart, Safari Zone, Smithy, War Museum, A River on the Outskirts of Town, Police Department

The Sapphire Mountains are a small mountain range with a few ice caves in some of the larger mountains. It is a very hard trip over these mountains, but powerful Pok?mon live here and it is a great shortcut between Sapphire city and Jade City.

Sub-boards: Ice Caves, Trailer

Route 4 is the easiest way to get from Fort Chalcedony to the Ruby Forest.

Route 5 connects the Ruby forest with the Sapphire Mountains.

The Ruby forest goes right to the edge of Ruby Town, so there isn't even a route between the two of them. But inside Ruby forest there are plenty of strong Pok?mon.

Sub-board: Poison Cave

Ruby Town has always loved Pok?mon Battles. In fact instead of building a gym, they built a whole stadium! This state of the art building has 10 different battlefields, each one unique. After just about every match in the Stadium, mobs of people flood into a little restaurant called Rosies. This is actually a diner that has been passed down through the family and is currently in its 4th generation.

Sub-boards: Pokemon Center, Poke Mart, Colosseum, House of a Thousand Knives, Jewelry Shop, Rosie's Resteraunt, Police Department, Battle Blimp

Route 6 goes between the Sapphire Mountains and the North Crossroads, there is a few somewhat easy to catch Pok?mon that are relatively strong here.

Route 7 goes from Ruby Town to the North crossroads, there are a few aggressive Pok?mon here that don't like humans walking through there.

The North Crossroads is where 4 different Routes cross paths, sometimes trainers like to battle here.

Route 8 will take you between the North Crossroads and Sapphire city, plenty of friendly Pok?mon can be found here.

Route 9 leads between the North Crossroads and Bloodstone city.

A place where you can find many grass and normal types. located between Route 9, Route 8, Sapphire City and Bloodstone City.

Sapphire City was founded by a pokemorph and is thus a safe haven for any and all Pokemorphs. The city is very environmentally conscious and does its best to create no trash. If you purchase something here be sure to bring back the container, they reuse them! This is a Gym City.

Bloodstone City was built in a large crater. No one is sure what made the crater, maybe it was made in a battle between two legendary Pok?mon, maybe it was just created by the impact of a huge meteorite, or it could just be a big hole in the ground. The sides of the crater are very steep and it can be quite a chore to get down to the city, not to mention it being rather dangerous.

Bloodstone city is in a perpetual night due to the thick forest around and inside the crater. They are the tallest and oldest trees in all of Pedro do Gem, and it is against the law to cut any down. The leaves of these trees block out all the sunlight in the crater. The city is in the middle of the forest, and under it are many underground tunnels, too neat to be natural but far too old to be man-made. The Bloodstone gym is found somewhere in the passages, but nobody seems to know exactly where. An underground river can also be found in the passages, and it is the water supply for the whole city. With no sunlight to grow their food, all fruits and vegetables are grown in special greenhouses, which are the only places where edible plants can grow.

Sub-boards: Pokemon Center, Gym, Tiny Shop

The Little Dirt Path is extremely dangerous because it is not well kept but it will very quickly take you between Bloodstone city and Sapphire City. Watch out for wild Pok?mon!

Route 10 will take you between Bloodstone City and Quartz City.

A good place to go if you are looking for bug types or dark types. it is located between Sapphire city, the dirt path, Bloodstone City, Routes 10, 11, & 12, Quartz City, and Diamond city.

Sub-board: Sapphire Lake

Quartz City Basically is the opposite of Sapphire City, everyone is deathly afraid of Pokemorphs and any who enter this town will most likely be run out of town with a mob of angry townsfolk chasing them with torches and guns..... Well its a small improvement from torches and pitchforks right?

Sub-boards: Poke Mart, Pokemon Center, Gym, River, Police Department

Route 11 will take you between Diamond City and Sapphire City.

Route 12 goes between Quartz City and Diamond City.

Diamond city is the biggest city in Pedro Do Gem, it has several things in it including Crystal Cafe, and a 15-floor department store... This is a Gym City.

Sub-boards: Pokemon Center, Gym, Diamond Department Store, Crystal Cafe, Diamond Park, Police Department

Diamond beach is a big vacation spot. However the waters get rough alot of the time so swimming is prohibited most of the year, this includes surfing across... Fear not there is another way to get to Emerald Island! Pay Sky the Knight of Wind a visit and if you ask nicely he will be more then happy to help you cross route 13.

Sub-boards: Sky's Shack, Sky's School of Fly

Climbing is STRICTLY FORBIDDEN so there is no way to go over them.... good thing you can go THROUGH them... however... the caves have been a little unstable lately.... they might need to be cleared....

Sub-boards: Terros' Shack, Terros' School of Sinkhole

Route 13 crosses the sea from Diamond beach to Emerald Island... but conditions are rough most of the time...

Emerald Island is very tropical, and supports many different kinds of wildlife. The southern end of the island is dense rain forest, never completely explored. The cries of an unknown Pok?mon have known to echo from the rain forest into the city, scaring small children at night.

Sub-boards: Pokemon Center, Ranger Center, Police Department

Emerald Beach is a nice island beach..... it's where you leave the island if you can surf.

Sub-boards: Aquos' School of Surf, Aquos' Shack

The waters have calmed down for the winter. its surfable. you don't need Aquos' help except to learn to surf. This Route will get you to Amethyst Island

Route 15 is a tunnel between the Tourmaline Cliffs and Tourmaline City... but it seems to have caved in.

Amethyst Island is surrounded by small Islands as if protected from something or someone... It is a very peaceful, quiet place where you can relax. There are some small forests around the town where friendly Pok?mon live in small groups. The gym is located in the middle of the small, peaceful town.... This is a Gym city, err island.

Sub-boards: Pokemon Center, Gym, Poke Mart, Berry House, Police Department

Route 16 will take you between Amethyst Island and Lazuli Island the waters here are calm so you can cross with your own Pok?mon as long as they know how to surf.

A calm and peaceful island that has a power plant on it, this plant provides power for all of Pedro Do Gem. Needless to say... you find LOTS of electric Pok?mon here.

Sub-boards: Pokemon Center, Poke Mart, Power Plant, Police Department

Route 17 takes you from Lazuli Island to Tourmaline City, the waters are very calm here.

Tourmaline City is a very quiet city that isn't use to much happening in it, it makes most of its money from the Gaming parlor where people will gamble their money away playing their favorite game of chance! with their winnings they can then buy prizes!... This is a Gym city.

One of the more habitable of the wild islands, there is a small family who mostly live on what they can find on the island. They are very hospitable and will usually offer a bite to eat to visitors.

THIS ISLAND HAS PREDATOR Pok?mon

Sub-board: The Miller House

The vegetation on this island is mostly scrub with a few patches of forest. There is an advisory against going to this island, but nobody seems to know why.

This island was the most recently created, the volcano having last erupted only about a century ago. There are some small plants around and a few Pok?mon, mostly rock types. The island is made up of mainly two types of lava, a’a, which is extremely spikey and will shred your shoes in a few minutes of walking on it; and pahoihoi, which is the flowing lava that is safe to walk on. The volcano is still active and often smokes. You should check at the pokecenter before coming here to make sure that is will be safe.

The black beeches of Pekelo are absolutely spectacular, but quite hot to walk on. If you are going to swim off the beech you should wear a pair of water shoes. The island is mostly bare of plants, but there are a few stunted scrub plants around.

This island is completely forested. There are many dangerous wild Pok?mon here, so be careful when you explore it. There is one inhabitant of the island and he doesn’t appreciate most visitors. Certain visitors are welcome, but others…….should try to avoid him.

THIS ISLAND HAS PREDATOR Pok?mon

It is a small, predator free island that is completely covered in rainforest. It is quite peaceful and many trainers come here simply for the relaxation opportunity it provides. There are a few cabins set up for those who don’t mind roughing it a bit. They are provided with food and lamps, but there is no electricity or gas. The wood box is kept full, so fuel for cooking is never a problem. The family who lives here and takes care of the cabins are extremely welcoming and will assist any trainers who come here, even if they don’t rent a cabin.

Sub-boards: Cabins, The Thomson House

Is a small rocky island with very little vegetation. But because of the fresh water and the many fish around there is quite a population of Pok?mon here. There is one introduced species, Stantler, which is eating all of the little vegetation that there is. Because of the explosion of prey here, the predator Pok?mon are thriving.

THIS ISLAND HAS PREDATOR Pok?mon

Hallam has a similar problem as Haldis, but this one is overrun with Raticate. The Raticate and Rattata are eating the eggs of the native bird Pok?mon, which is devastating their population. There are a good many cat Pok?mon here, also introduced. Luckily they are helping to keep the Raticate and Rattata under control.

THIS ISLAND HAS PREDATOR Pok?mon

Role plays that have to do with the end of the world or the imminent threat of it are quite popular. Because of this any requested RPs that have to do with the end of the world go here.

The barriers between the dimensions have become fragmented. Certain supernatural beings are being uncontrollably thrown from one dimension to another, sometimes with normal beings dragged along with them. What strange worlds will they encounter? What alternate versions of their own lands will they find?

This roleplay is semi-private. PM PF13 or Kila with a description of the character you would use to apply.

Moderators: PokemonFan13, #--Kotoru-->

A game world with every human having an animal form and nearly all the players having certain 'abilities'. A real world futuristic and with high enough technology to allow people to mentally enter the online MMORPG games, becoming their characters as their bodies slept. In fact, most players actually do play as they sleep, replacing dreams with battle, training, and hanging out with friends.

Any new private RPs will be started in this board. A RP has the option of being moved out when it has 5000 posts. A RP can also be moved out when it has the same people as another RP that has already been moved out. Then the RP can be in a board for those specific RPers along with any other RPs they have.
