    Thank You Very Much, from researching Pokemon I have realized that all you need to do is tweak some things and suddenly it can be really cool for any age. So To delve into a little History of My reinvented Pokemon World.

    Around 5000 years ago (100 BCE, CE being after the fall of the empire) the many cultures of the world had been conquered by a massive empire known as The Poketi <Aztec-Incan like>. The Poketi were most likely the most technologically advanced, and were heavy practitioners of Genetic Engineering. One of the major use of Genetic Engineering was in creating creatures for the sport of Gladiatorial Beast Combat, where Trainers would raise creatures (Known as Pokemon) to do battle against each other. By the time the Poketi Empire fell they had engineered so many species (So far there are over 9 Trillion identified species, most of these species have evolved in the wild however) that the now wild pokemon had almost completely taken over as the only form of life on the planet. Humans regressed to an Medieval Age Technologically. It wouldnt be until 4750 CE that Human would reobtain their past Technological Level.

    The World is now only divided into two Powers, The League Of Governments (The League) and The New Order of Allied Territories (NOAT).

    The League is the greater power controlling over 70% of the Worlds surface. It is a somewhat Capitalist state.

    NOAT is a rebellious collection of nation states intent on overthrowing The League.

    see so add a good plot, make the Pokemon actually look cool not cartoony, and up the action/ drama/ stuff a bit and boom... you got yourself something good. I had this image in my head of Pokemon being used in the rebel war, And the players can do either just be a group of Trainers creating a collection of the Pokemon, or you could expand to have them have to decide on the outcome of the war by being dragged into it.

    Post Map 2: MA-4

    Okay after fixing the pics twice now I finally got them up there properly except the thumbnails are weird, oh well I least the actual images look good. When I get good at GIMP I'll probably do the maps again on there. make im really cool and stuff.

    So, next set is an Unnamed map I did, again toying with the single super continent idea I had. In this one you can see my map making skills jump a whole level I think, with the inclusion of a Mediterranean like sea and stuff like that. as you can see the Mountains, rivers, and climate zones I was toying with are still on the map. This is the kind of thing I really think is the art to fictional cartography, not making pretty maps but making a world that is believable.

    also note that somehow my camera made some of the pages look yellow which actually looks really cool

    Post Map 3: MA-5 "Heroverse Earth"

    And this last one is possibly going to be Earth for My Heroverse.

    I think I like this one the most of all, everything about it is perfect except the Fjords, which are way to big. also note how clean it is, This is what I mean by template.

    Yeah, I'm seeing that, too.

    edit: Testing a couple of attachments, just to see if it's a problem with the thead. One from my HDD and one from a web site.

    edit2: It appears to be a problem with the URL. There are two slashes where there should only be one, and the URL appears to be truncated. The d=... is missing.
