Galapos Update: Islets, Rangers, & Sprites!
🕑 Added 2025-06-05 02:13:59 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
Since my last update 2 weeks ago, I have been continuing work on the Galapos Region alongside some of my other summer projects. In this update, I've added more details about certain factions and locations, but the biggest update regards character art.
As I mentioned in previous updates, some of the characters in this are the product of original fan characters that I wanted to attribute. The process of getting permission has been difficult as some of the sources have now gone defunct with link rot. As a compromise, I have decided to undergo the process of translating key character art into sprites akin to those seen in the 4th and 5th generation games. I am not a pro pixel artist by any means, but I do feel pretty happy with how I have been able to translate some of these designs to look a little more in line with what is in the games. I might also consider reaching out to some different sprite artists to make the artwork for other trainer characters, as well as some of the original Pokémon that I've included in my home games set in the Galapos Region. I still do plan to include a set of citations at the end of the book attributing the inspiration for these designs, but this might make it a little easier to incorporate certain visuals.
Let me know what you all think! Thanks for the continued support and interest in this project.
Best Wishes, Henry.

Oh yea, in addition to having the setting guide stuff, I am planning on including some formal adventures based on the missions and encounters that I have given my players in our home games.

Sorry if this is answered somewhere else already but is this book going to be mainly a setting guide or will there also be some form of pre-made adventure module for this area?
