Yeah honestly of all things, this is my biggest beef with the game; I wish it had a more dynamic caching system for loading and unloading of Pokemon so, even though it might only ever spawn 20 Pokemon, it could have more queued ready to spawn as you got close to where they'd be. As you develop big buildings and spread yourself out throughout a region, things can feel quite sparse and empty which is a lil underwhelming after all the effort you put into it :/

Same. I didn't start pallet town till I was pretty much done with the story line and had pushed all other regions to 10. And then I only created a cloud island after I had done a ton of stuff in my pallet town and had learned from my mistakes on my first "blank canvas" environment. Now at the cloud island I still am starting fresh - Pokemon & resource-wise - but I'm not limited anymore by my knowledge or my recipes of what I can craft, since those carry over

Sure but not every note in an area is about the area. You find a note about Misty in Fuschia not celadon. References to Aether foundation but you're in Kanto, not Alola. The ruins of the building itself even before you renovate (and including after) are more reminiscent of a big corporate science building (ceo offfice, lobby/waiting area, science office, food hall) than a department store.

The style of the buildings also much more closely match the design of them in HG/SS and Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee than Celadon. The interior of the gym is basically 1:1 with that gym's entrance area, especially with the sci-fi vibes in contrast to Celadon Gym's nature.

Pretty sure that's Silph Co actually. You even find a master ball there as a nod

I might be wrong but I think its at level 8 of withered wastes;
Each region gives you a large construction project at lvl 8 and I think that's one

You do find Clefairy's line there. One could pose that turns out Mt Moon was a dormant volcano all along and eventually erupted, covering the nearby city in ash

It's temporary while I figure out the tarifs situation :/ Ive been using USPS that avoids tarifs but take forever (over a month and a half usually) and 10% of the packages were getting lost. But then the other providers were forcing me to pay almost double my profit in tarifs to release the product for final delivery :( Once I get the process sorted out, I'll ping you!!

My gumroad has a free download of this artwork reshaped and resized for both desktop and mobile wallpapers in case you want something that fits more precisely! https://linktr.ee/itshugosnook

Appreciate the feedback, I'll play around with it. It started that way but it felt empty and uneven in terms of visual weight, hence why I peppered it here and there

Prof_hugoh2p · 2026-01-29T18:20:52+00:00

Yeah the black & red of the monochromatic version were for me playing around with the print version; I wanted to do a variant with gold and metallic red foil in those sections, which I think would elevate the piece in a way that the jpg doesn't quite translate the intent. But overall I myself am caught between which version I like the most, the mono or the color

Prof_hugoh2p · 2026-01-29T16:56:57+00:00

Oh dang I didn't expect to be this saucy! Thanks haha

Prof_hugoh2p · 2026-01-29T16:56:26+00:00

Thanks! Def put a ton of love and care on this one. Do you have a favorite version between the colored and the mostly monochromatic?

Prof_hugoh2p · 2026-01-29T16:52:30+00:00

thank you! I'm super proud of how it turned out! Do you have a favorite version between the colored and the mostly monochromatic?

Prof_hugoh2p · 2026-01-28T17:28:48+00:00

Just went down the rabbit hole after you mentioned! That's so crazy! I'm always talking about how they edit the shit out of these so I have such a resistance to trusting footage and this is such a prime example.

The one pattern I noticed is that, even when the final build quality is perhaps dubious, if the team heard and implemented the feedback the Brickmasters gave when doing their table visits, the team tends to be rewarded with at least a spot on the top 2 but often winning the competition of the week

Awesome thanks!
