MAY UPDATE!

ULSAI!
This is MC here! It’s been a while since I’ve done another update post. There’s a lot the mods would love to show you since January, but today seems like the day to finally show you guys what we have in store for Faraway Place!


Links on Notion!


Here’s a big one — I’ve set up a brand new Navigation page in Notion, so much of the links to the dressing room’s premise, the region’s setting and locations, the Pokemon and more are now compiled in it. There are still pages that need to be updated but I’ll get to working on those as we progress.

You can take a look at it here!


Updated FAQ Page


Just added a few details that would hopefully clear up a few things regarding the dressing room’s mechanics!


Welcome to The Chura Islands


Finally, I get to show you a new location the mods have been teasing for the past few weeks.



Located northwest of Ohritori Island, it is deemed as a paradise for all kinds of Pokemon as the island itself is mostly covered with nothing but rainforest greenery. Said rainforest — known as Swaying Haven — is also a nature preserve and is protected by Pokemon Rangers, who has placed numerous restrictions on the area as a means to keep it safe.

Read more about the Chura Islands here in this link.


Swaying Haven Summer Camp


We’ll be setting up a small summer camp event to introduce everyone the island of Chura, and a few new NPCs along with it too. Once it’s up, you can use this post if you have any questions regarding the event itself.


Newly Updated Pokedex!


That’s right! I’ve prettied up the Pokedex pages a bit and are now on Notion! This time we’ve added a few more details regarding each Pokemon species and the moves it can learn. So far I’ve only done a handful of Pokemon, but all of the other existing Pokemon will have their updated pages eventually.

See the new Pokedex page here in this link!


New Pokedex Pages


Speaking of the Pokedex, here are a couple of entries for two Ulternian Pokemon we’ve added into the page.



Pikachu



Drakhari



And that’s pretty much it! Thank you so much for your patience and we hope you enjoy more of what Ultern has to offer!

Looking forward to getting to know the new locations! They look great! The artwork on the Pokedex entries is lovely too ^^

I kind of miss the old navigation page though, since it was so easy to get to all the important setting information quickly. The new one has a lot more info in a convenient, easy to browse place, but it takes longer to scroll through to it and loads slower for me too... Would it be possible to keep links to the most important information, like the old Pokedex and the list of locations, in the main Navigation page that links to the Notion site? And will you keep updating Pokedex v1.0 too? Having full information is good, but I liked having a list of every Pokemon on the same page to quickly scroll through. Maybe you could add links to the Pokedex v2.0 entries to it? Sorry for having so many requests, I can tell this update took a lot of work already ^^;

Thank you! I appreciate you both for all you do and for listening!

That's a shame, I thought the old Pokedex would be easier to update than the new one since it doesn't need the high-quality art, but I understand! It's probably easier to focus your efforts on just one of them.

MC here! Admittingly I don't mind doing the art since they actually take less than a day for me to finish. (And they're really fun to do haha!) I just have issues with coding in general since it takes... so much div tables to stack with to make a very pretty box in comparison to making a drawing personally!

I see! I haven't done too much HTML coding myself, but looking at the code, I feel like it'd be pretty simple to update since the base coding for the entries is already complete, and you could just copy-paste it and fill it with the new information? I mean, I feel confident I could probably do it myself, if you accept help ^^

If you got someplace where I can message you outside of Dreamwidth in real-time (Discord, Tumblr, etc.) we can discuss this further and even show you the code!
