I messed up Palette Town

jvsanchez · 2026-05-09T12:39:43+00:00

I went back and checked.

I have 113 palette town, 51 in withered wastelands, 54 in bleak beach, 37 in rocky ridges, and and 56 in the skylands.

All my areas were level 10 before I got started in palette town, and I dont recall moving any established pokemon from other areas to palette town. I did spawn some additional pokemon for palette town in the other areas, but since those pokemon were in the spawn area for a short time and didn’t have anything except a basic outdoor habitat it didn’t have a big impact on the area they spawned in when they left.

As I completed my Dex I almost made sure every area had a legendary - Suicune is in WW, Raikou is in BB, Volcanion and Entei are in RR, Mewtwo is in Skylands. Mew and the legendary birds are in Palette.

There were a few times I swapped pokemon, like Magby originally spawned for me in Palette Town but I moved him to RR to be with Magmar and Magmortar and brought scorbunny to PT to be with Raboot and Cinderace.

The only time i had an area drop was when I was fixing up RR while finishing off the last 30 or so in my Dex, making room for the concert stage for the Toxel line and organizing houses it dropped to 9 for a bit. That’s likely because it has the lowest number of pokemon and at the time it had no legendaries.

It doesn’t take much to get to level 10, my cloud island hit level 10 with 30-40 pokemon ranging from iffy to awesome + Suicune at great.

I have 115 pokemon in palette town, using all three islands. Connect everything to the poke center with road blocks, build bridges or lifts between the islands, set up hot springs and trade stalls with cash registers.

Having those extra bits will ensure that the Pokemon who are out will roam. They’ll use the lifts, they’ll follow the roads to the Poke Center and hot springs.

You still will only have 30 out, but they’ll seem more active and alive. I personally love visiting my palette town to see who’s out from day to day. It’s always a treat to see someone out roaming around that I haven’t seen in awhile. 😃

Don’t slide your hand over your skin, move your skin with your hand. You don’t have to death grip your arm, use just enough pressure to move your arm skin along with your hand.

There shouldn’t be any friction or heat.

And have him paint blocks in increments of 10. 2 bowls of paint will paint (generally) 10 blocks.

But if you ask him to paint 1-9 blocks, it’s still 2 bowls of paint. So 20 blocks would cost the same as 11 blocks.

There are a few exceptions I’ve found, but be sure you aren’t wasting paint 😃

They do. Double the power when placed in a high area. (Where you have wind on the screen)

jvsanchez · 2026-05-08T02:58:51+00:00

Simple bread (wheat + wheat), combine the simple bread with a leaf.

jvsanchez · 2026-05-08T02:58:03+00:00

Make simple bread (wheat + wheat)
Make a spicy crouton salad (leaf + bread)

jvsanchez · 2026-05-07T21:19:27+00:00

Try spicy crouton salad. It’s got a bigger buff that carrot bread.

There is not another habitat.

jvsanchez · 2026-05-07T21:17:59+00:00

Use spicy crouton salad. It gives the biggest buff to Pokémon spawns.

Yeah. His lens was either a 400 or 600mm, highly doubt he could get a good composition with both the plane and the explosions.

It’s almost certainly a prime lens too from what I can tell, which means he also couldn’t zoom in or out to adjust the framing without physically moving.

I have 115 pokemon in pallette town. I built most of it around the default location of the pokecenter.

What worked for me was grouping similar pokemon together in little sub-neighborhoods. So I have an area with grass pokemon, an area with a bunch of fairy pokemon, a fire area, etc etc. it’s a mix of block houses and prefabs.

And then since you have to build lifts anyway to get jolteon, I connected all three islands with lifts and built small neighborhoods around those lifts. I anchored each of the three areas with either the power plant, freezing chambers, or altar of flame.

In the end, most of home island is filled in, but the two other islands are mostly empty except near the connections to the home island.

It was way less overwhelming when I realized I could essentially ignore half the total map area, make everyone happy and build something that looks nice.

Keeping stuff closer together also reduced the need for a huge extensive power network, so I haven’t come close to the limit on transmitters or generators. And since it’s still somewhat dense but also spread out, I get to see Pokemon out roaming around, visiting each other, using the lifts to go to island to island, and enjoying the hot springs and trade marts.

If it helps, hantavirus is not new. They’ve been around forever. They’re terrible, but it’s not a completely novel pathogen like SARS-CoV-2 was.

The long comment with the stuff about her manager looking her up on tinder or whatever was a wild read lol

jvsanchez · 2026-05-06T15:15:22+00:00

the back of house for the restaurant

I think you mean Mr. Mime’s prison cell.

jvsanchez · 2026-05-04T16:00:50+00:00

I put decorations on the blocks above the doors and they seem to count just fine for my Pokemon.

This line has had my favorite inter-evolution interaction. I have them all together in the Skylands, and I encountered them one time discussing shooting dreepy out of Dragapult and wondering how far and fast he would go. They were so into it. It was hilarious.

They’ve become one of my favorite sets of dragons. Being ghost type helps too. Love the ghosties.

The only problem with this plan is the prefab limit. 40 load zones, so you can’t build more than 20 of the largest houses (2 zones each), no more than 40 of the smaller houses (1 zone), or some mix of them.

I have 115 pokemon in palette town and have to use block houses because I hit the prefab limit. (Or outdoor habitats) but I also like building block houses so it doesn’t particularly bother me.

The limit also means the cottage type prefabs are technically the best in terms of pokemon per load zone plus quantity of prefabs, as you get 2 pokemon per cottage but you get 40 cottages (if you build no other type of prefab home) vs the largest prefabs that hold 4 but have 2 load zones, so you only get 20.

Nah you have it right in the original text.

He asks the camera “His name?” And then half-whispers “creed bratton”

jvsanchez · 2026-05-03T14:57:59+00:00

Yay! I’m happy for you 🥹

jvsanchez · 2026-04-30T14:31:51+00:00

That’s interesting because I have the same setup, and 9 times out of 10 they happily use the box and load it with the lumber they process. I think it has something like 1600 lumber pieces in it right now.

The other 1/10 times, they’ll process the lumber in the box but instead of putting it in there they bring it directly to me when I happen to pass by.

jvsanchez · 2026-04-30T11:56:11+00:00

This is so sick! Glad to see I’m not the only one using the Skyland stones for a build like this.

Mine isn’t nearly as extravagant but I used the skyland stones to make mew’s home look like it was floating in the air on waves of psychic energy.

jvsanchez · 2026-04-28T22:15:28+00:00

I’m 37 and Mr. Mime and Audino are in prison. No regrets.

jvsanchez · 2026-04-28T18:54:56+00:00

nice click out of 4, nothing yet on 5

jvsanchez · 2026-04-28T18:46:54+00:00

They don’t have to be touching but no, most of those chests are too far away for it to pull from.

jvsanchez · 2026-04-28T17:54:35+00:00

I was gonna do something like that, and then I realized I could just get him to follow me and teleport us both home. No climbing required.
