Team Rocket has taken over Silph Co. and the Radio Tower! However, after Giovanni's
departure, rivaling factions of Team Rocket have vied for power over the organization. Left
at an impasse, the two factions have no choice but to end their rivalry in blood.

Pick your faction of Rockets and take over your region, gaining power to compete with your
rival and perhaps, one day, defeat them and assert your control over both Kanto and Johto
alike!

Note: I have tried to make the map geologically correct. Heavy forest areas represent either
borders or the Ilex/Viridian Forests. Heavy mountain areas likewise represent important
caves in the Pokemon games (or again, borders in the NW). Ports act as land/sea bridges as
well as doubling as the harbors of Vermillion/Olivine. The airports roughly represent the
location of the whirl islands and the seafoam islands, while the tower represents in Indigo
Plateau. The Amber Blaze infantry is just for decoration, and are placed on Pallet Town/New
Bark town to commemorate that one heartfelt location where we all began our own
adventures in the Pokemon World. The Megatank, of course, is the Elite Four, and is also
just for fun.

And it goes without saying that the roads trace the main character's path to the Indigo
Plateau in both Johto and Kanto.

While I've tried to make the map "correct", I also took the liberty of altering some terrain to
make the map more fair and more fun.

(This is why the Johto airport is not exactly at the location of the Whirl Islands.)

Ahhh Pokemon is still pretty famous but Black and White pokemon from the Black and
White game is a little overkill because well the way some pokemon look and their names are
sometimes weird well a little.And nice way to bring back the pokemon back from the Pallet
town
to
even little Root.All in all i give this map a 9/10.

I liked some of the metagame changes BW brought to pokemon, but yeah the actual new
pokemon introduced were sorta meh imo.

Thanks for the rates :)

In all honesty I thought Game Freak would got the opposite direction with pokemon gen 5.
Instead of making 152 new pokemon making only 20 or 30 new ones, but rotation battles are
fun.
And there's nothing THAT wrong with making a ton of new pokemon.

About the map though, maybe give up some of the meticulous copying of the town map, and
add some terrain diversity so it could play a little better in AW.

Good idea imo, though

I'm certainly willing to do so, but I don't see where there's a huge playability problem. Perhaps
the bases are too far from the front line? The front line is also really stretched, imo, but that
might actually work out favorably.
