NOVEMBER UPDATES & INTRO/PLOTTING POST

🌺 Ulsai~! 🌺

Howdy everyone! Things are slowing down at the mod team's end, but we'll be picking up the pace once we've settled things behind the scenes. In the meantime, we're excited to bring you more news of what's to come in Ultern and the dressing room in general. So it's time for another round of updates!




New location: MYSTERY DUNGEONS!!


A small tremor shook the entire island of Ohritori. And although there are no reports of damage or any casualties known, road inspectors that were checking Turnterrace Tunnel would later discover an opening in the tunnel walls. A few days later, there had been updates that the newly discovered opening is in fact... a mystery dungeon.



Mystery Dungeons are now an explorable area for characters to check out! Much like from the games, these areas are very unpredictable as the layout seems to shift and change every time you enter it. It's the worst place you'd want to get lost in really.

There will be more Mystery Dungeons to come in the future. But for now you characters are free to explore the following:

  • Shimmerstone Cave

  • Tida Island

  • Chichi Island

Check them out in this page!

Speaking of locations...




Player-run locations added!


Now players have the freedom to add their special landmark in each route or town! It can be an apartment they rented, a cafe they frequent to, a campsite they've set up, or a shop they decided to open up or just work at. These will be permanent additions to the setting unless the player says otherwise. Just head over to any of the links of each location in the settings page, and fill up the form before commenting!




Gym Leader Tobi returns from his tour!


For those wanting to challenge Tobi and take on the Ulternian Pokemon League in the future, you're in luck. Tobi returns to Turnbloom and is stationed in his Gym, awaiting new challengers to take him on and hopefully captivate his audience.

In addition, social media sites will be flooded with Tobiloveds talking about his return. And many of his fans will be filling in the seats of Gym cheering for Tobi.




New Pokedex entries added!


Updating the Pokedex page with three new entries for more new encounters!


Murkrow

Sandygast

Palossand


You can check them out in the Pokedex page!




Ultern Weather Report


Rainshowers and thunderstorms are now less frequent this time of the month, and not as strong either compared to last month's. And while being on a tropical region means there would be no snowfall happening, strong winter winds and cold temperatures are sure to be expected starting from this month until January.



Paldean Pokemon Outbreak!!





In celebration of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's launch, starting from November 18th your characters are more likely to find a large abundance of Paldean Pokemon showing up in the Ohritori wilderness. Yes, from Smolivs to Lechonks to even Wigletts. Even Pokemon with their Paldean forms will also appear in the wild such as Wooper. Your characters are free to battle and capture them upon encountering.

This mini-event will be running until the end of November.




Once again, you're still free to catch up and backtag posts from last month if there are threads you'd like to continue and wrap up. And if you're new to the dressing room, hello and welcome to A Faraway Place! Please introduce yourself in the comments below. We'd love to meet you!

As always, if you have any questions, comments or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us via the comments or via DMs!

Ash in the meantime will more likely spend his time trying to bond with his newly caught Dunsparce. As per tradition of Ash catching Problem Pokemon, this funky little Land Snake still hasn't quite accepted Ash as his trainer yet. But boy is he DETERMINED to make them The Best of Buds. I'm sure he'll appreciate any help on getting his Dunsparce to open up to him! ...Just don't end up being headbutted by him.

Other than that, he's willing to tag along in mystery dungeons! He's definitely curious about what lies at the end of Shimmerstone Cave and would be so eager to find and battle against a Terastallized Pokemon. He can't say no to another fun adventure!!!!

Heck yeah!! I'm sure Ash might offer some help in handling Gible given he's raised his own chompy boy too!!!

I remember!! It'd be great. ^^

(And hey, maybe meeting a little kid Trip can help reassure Ash that this place is somewhere out of time, so he isn't going to miss the M8!!)
