Yo! Look over here! Yeah, you. This the announcement board and the name of it should explain everything, but incase it doesn't: the announcements of the site consist of important doodads like activity checks, special giveaways, contests and even more! You should check this place out before someone comes and punches you in the throat, it might confuse and hurt you at that point, but if you read the announcement that had the memo that all members were to be punched in the throat, you might have been more fully prepared.

For each trainer you make please please make a tracker. Information about trackers shall be found inside the board. Be sure to link to each tracker in your signature or a moderator will eat your brains. You don't want that, because you need that to post here.

Is your character looking for a partner in their journey? Maybe they want a little love? Find whatever you are looking for here. Make plots, create blossoming love; find someone to help you with these!

Right outside of Lapis Town is a large forest that has many twist and turns. There is no hint of humans ever even touching it, no fallen trees or anything. Because of this Pokemon are indeed plentiful! Bug Pokemon, grass Pokemon, flying Pokemon. Many types of Pokemon that are usually found in forests are here. They aren't exactly that powerful but that makes it excellent for trainers who are just starting out.

Thankfully, route two is nothing like the first. The trees thin out into a meadow with an intoxicating aroma that draws various species of Pokemon here. If you aren't careful, your Pokemon might get lured into a fight by the Grass types using Sweet Scent like all the other Pokemon here.

Calm and tranquil. Cyan Town is a small town that has a looping river on both of its sides. Everyone is usually laid back and easy going, always ready to help a passerby. The first gym and contest hall can be found here in this quiet little town.

The route has a twisting path following a river filled with cool water. The tall grass and flourishing trees house many Bug types and Flying types while the river sustains those of the Water types. You can't go very far down the path without some mischievous creature trying to fight your Pokemon. Seriously. Route three is filled with some annoying Pokemon.

After being out in the swaying grass Ecru Town is a big difference. Everything seems so barren, rocky terrain everywhere you look. The houses are literally built into the rocky walls that surround the village. Yes, rocks are basically their theme on this bumpy terrain. Here you will find the second gym and contest hall.

The barren terrain didn't, sadly, end in Ecru Town. In fact the land seems to take on a much more desert feel to it. The wind seems to always be blowing, sand caught up in its powerful gusts.

The desert that is route four might make you hullucinate, but trust me, this is no illusion. Malachite town is one of the most beautiful areas in Este. After it was founded, the people of Malachite town began to plant flowers and for generations, these flowers have come back in full bloom every spring. Shrubs and trees make coming off route four bewildering, but trust me, its all there. Near the Pokemart resides the Gym and in the right corner fo town rests the Contest Hall.

A mountain is literally right by Malachite town. Trainers next destinations are at the top. Luckily Route 5 is an easier way to get to the top. For most of the way up the mountain route 5 takes you through confusing caverns filled with some interesting Pokemon. Dark, Psychic and Ghost are very common here, often playing tricks on the paranoid hikers who are trying to get to the next town. Benevolent people strung lights along the cave walls to help the people traveling through. Lucky them.

Remember those lights that were hung up to direct you on Route 5? Well, really they were leading you to a large cavern that, get this, was actually a town. Sure, Arsenic Town is not exactly filled with many people but the town is rather unique. In fact a lot of the people in Arsenic Town are rather unusual and mysterious, sometimes all they're do is give you a side-glance and then hurry off as if you were threatening them. Strange is sometimes an understatement for them and they often host weird festivals. Here you can find the fourth gym and contest hall. In the back of the town is a staircase that takes you up most of the mountain.

From Arsenic town is a rocky staircase. Don't be fooled, halfway through the route, Ground and Rock types will be less frequent and Ice Pokemon will be littered everywhere. A seemingly never ending blizzard makes it hard to continue to the next town and the frigid temperatures make those tropic lovers wish they had seven parkas on.

In a barren field of snow, Chartreuse town is a small, humble place. An unwelcoming blanket of snow and a constant blizzard blows through here. Not many people live here because of the elements of weather but the ones who do are friendly and willing to help. The houses are mostly old-styled cabin style. Due to the weather extremities, it often deters those who are not strong enough to face a true challenge, because of this, many trainers never beat the fifth gym or contest hall that sticks out in the center of all the cabins, ending their career prematurely.

Down the mountain you go, finally away from the cold. There is nothing interesting about the trip until you get to the bottom of the mountain. Here you can find hot springs waiting to warm up your cold and wary bones. Fire Pokemon tend to hang around also.

A beautiful ocean sways up and down on the sandy covered shore. When the sun is down the ocean looks painted, a wonderful site. In the distant skyscrapers and lights can be seen.

Don't get too excited, you won't be invited on the radio show any time soon. Infact, it is more like an Electric Type headquarters rather than a place where people hang out. If you're looking for some Electric or Grass types (uhm..?), then it's best to come here. Why are there Grass types here? Because Grass types are partiers and we all know the Radio Tower is party central for Pokemon.

The trek to mount cyric is a long one from the closest town, Arsenic town. It is named for the tallest peak, which houses a variety of ice Pokemon. They say if you can make it all the way to the top, you can see the entire region of Este. Although, it is also rumored that the legendary Articuno rests here as well, but no-one has ever made it up there.

This is an intriguing place. If you head into a dank, dark tunnel, you'll wind up in an open chamber lit up by the light from smoldering lava pouring from a gash in the side of Cyric mountain into a bowl-shaped pool. Many Fire-type Pokemon reside inside this chamber.

This rural area of Este is known as Breeder Heaven simply because it is the perfect place to raise Pokemon. The temperature is warm, but a breeze always rolls over the long, green grass to cool Pokemon down. Go a little further, my friends, to the shrine where you may receive a Pokemon egg, or to the adoption agency that gives away abandoned Pokemon.

Sun, sand and surf. What could be better? Not only that, but there is Water-type Pokemon littered all over the beach and in the water. Heck, if your Pokemon knows how to swim, you can get out in the ocean and catch the higher level Water Pokemon.

This cavern is also known as "Death's Domain". Why you might ask? It's a pitch-black cave with uneven ground. If you aren't tripping and stumbling over the surface because none of your Pokemon can light up the area, then you're tripping and stumbling in a well-lit area because your Pokemon can. Either way, you'll take a beating from the ground while your Pokemon take a beating from wild Pokemon. Oh, did I mention it's practically a maze? Well now you know. Did you expect the final stretch to the Elite Four to be easy?
