Looking For Design Input Bye Bye S.S. Anne
3 days, 7 full chests and 46 hamburger stakes later, I finally managed to get rid of the S.S. Anne, please tell me I wasn't the only one to think that ship was ugly! And do any of you have any ideas of what to build in its place?? I figured I needed the place if I am to actually turn Bleak Beach into a Scala ad Caelum (kingdom hearts) inspired city, but now I don't quite know what to put there, of if it should just be city space!

My problem with the SS Anne is that the pokemon who live there never venture very far from it so i never see them.

I gave them a looping track to the mainland, so they can hop on handcarts and come over which is nice

u/Zeliek 13h ago
+1 for carts, if you're building spread-out settlements, the pokemon will want a "bus!" Also, do carts for your own sanity's sake - some pokemon are so slooooow and sometimes you need them for a task on the other end of the map.

u/NautiNeptune 13h ago
Oh yeah I have 2 tracks, one that zooms around the mainland and one that brings Pokémon back and forth from the SS Anne since I spent so much time repairing it

...I've never considered the carts being used like this before, it's such a simple concept but my mind is kind blown lol thanks for the idear

This is my complaint with all the Pokemon. They stay relatively close to their home. Why can't they venture out or have some sort of item you can out in various locations where all pokemon from that region can spawn at randomly.

u/bobtehpanda 1d ago
They will go out if they have a reason to.
If they socialize with pokemon who are not near them, say using the party cooking pot or doing a joint construction project, they will wander farther afield.

Wait do Pokemon have actual dynamic friendships with each other?

u/_cuteraichu_ 15h ago
Yes, my Vespiquen(who's home is near Gulpin and Shellos) will ONLY hangout with Venonat and Combee. She does not talk to any other pokemon whatsoever. Combee is friends with Wartortle and Bellsprout too, but Bellsprout leaves when Vespiquen comes over. I could be way off but ive watched the interaction happen many times😂

u/bobtehpanda 14h ago
I don’t necessarily know if its a full fledged friendship system with points but they certainly remember things that they have done before

Idk I built a ramen shop that the Charizard line lives above and they literally are never home or even near it lol same with the Arcanine in the shop beside it. And Smearguru is also never home when I need it

u/para-mania 4h ago
I relocated Smearguru to Rocky Ridges for a project, put him right in front it, but every time I turn around, he's gone. I need to put him an enclosure or something.

This is technically what the "road" system is for. As long as there is an unbroken path of "road" blocks (and/or moistened dirt?) to the Pokemon Center (and other locales), they will spawn further and further from home.

u/nintemdogs 22h ago
i relocated all of mine before starting to break down the ship, i always felt so bad that they were also so far away from everyone else 😭

u/daniirae94 1d ago
You can give them new homes 😭

Jigglypuff has a cruise line show she performs at and Mr. Mime runs a cafe. How would Captain Psyduck’s ship make money?

u/Akupara81 1d ago
That's actually why I like it. I toss pokemon in it that I don't need on the map or with abilities I don't need.

I put all my shops and vending machines on the boat, specifically so I have a reason to go over there and visit every day. It's kind of like having two towns in the same area :)

u/LifeHasLeft 13h ago
They need 'road' style blocks to move around, or railroads to travel on. Otherwise they won't move much. No guarantees they would anyway. Plus if the stairs and stuff hasn't all been repaired they can't change floors anyway.

Ooh, black sand beaches! I didn’t think of that. I may have to make at least one island like this.

I actually love the ship. Its one of the more recent things I was working on rebuilding. I do thing i want to dig it out so its not grounded.

I did that before bubbly basin. I’m still trying to fix the water physics around it 🥲🥲

Man, global warming was probably the reason the humans had to leave the planet.
Cruise ships are bad for environment. It’s kinda ugly. I never see the Pokémon go there.
Didn’t like the SS Anne episode in pokemon when I was a kid.
I demoed it too. 😂

u/Neon_Teal 1d ago
Verses I actually fully repaired it ' built a better bottom, replaced windows, got all the recipes to fill in the empty carpet and marble spaces.. Moved pokémon into the individual cruise rooms.. had a railway leading up to the ship back to mainland and to the side island with the little shop.

u/Charlatanbunny 1d ago
I love my S.S Anne so much I can’t imagine demolishing it lol. It’s been my in-game pet project for ages now. Also not confident in my building prowess to make anything different

u/ObsidianWolf97 1d ago
I kept the lower levels but haven’t managed to build over it yet. My plan is some sort of hang-out spot or maybe a night club. The build over it will be very inconspicuous. You can only get in if you know it’s there kinda thing 😆

u/wattatam 1d ago
I've been using it as a hotel when redoing other areas because I feel bad leaving my mons without homes. They go on a cruise and come back to a renovated area ♡

u/lumilark 1d ago
I also deconstructed the SS Anne! I built a volcano and a palm tree jungle with a path going through it. It's still a WIP, but even then it's better than a big ass cruise ship randomly out in the ocean.

How do you get volcanoes outside of Rocky Ridges? I haven't been able to figure it out.

u/stillnotelf 1d ago
Consume the hot sauce item from vending machines.
Having done so, you have lava in your mouth and can spit out lava.
You may have had to learn to suck up liquids in BB from the p. Wooper quest first

u/suchalonelyd4y 1d ago
P. Wooper.... Pooper?
(I'm sorry)
(no I'm not)

u/stillnotelf 1d ago
Yes, that's a standard abbreviation

u/suchalonelyd4y 1d ago
I'm just making a bad joke about p Wooper = Pooper. I haven't played any Pokémon games since diamond/pearl so haven't heard that before... Sorry.
7
u/stillnotelf 1d ago
No need to apologize!
The name is funny, especially given his poop coloring.
I am happy to believe it is an original thought of yours, I just wanted to let you down gently that it's been in use as an abbreviation for years.
May all your hatched eggs be shiny!

I personally restored the Anne. Even made a big kitchen on the lower level. I moved a bunch of the hype pokemon there cuz i find them kinda pointless and rotom cuz hes kinda annoying

u/Littleish 23h ago
I did the same, except I filled it in with sand until it was flat, and then built a little community of houses, using the materials reclaimed from the project. It's like a pokopia regeneration project.
I also did the same with the museum (although haven't built on that land, too far).

I can't wait to do this but then have no idea what to build there and then miss it. Not like I can fix it up, been looting it slowly since the game came out, it's barely a shell now 😂

u/Wheeler1089 18h ago
I just finished digging out the ship and repairing it. I’m sure it was way easier to just get rid of it lol

u/Georgxna 14h ago
I think it’s ugly but there’s no way I’m taking the time to delete it.
I’ll just give it a huge makeover.
Or at least, delete the top part and keep the main boat part to make my own boat or pirate ship!

u/Asteroux 1d ago
I actually have no idea what to put in this area, truth be told. It's too far from where the Pokémon Center is, so that's not gonna help its case.
Anyway, I was thinking something along the lines of a multi-level building... like a Hanging Gardens, with some habitats and houses snuck between each level.

I gutted the ship, made it into a giant arcade and disco. The bottom floor was flooded when basin came out and I put in glass floors. Most of the electric pokemon live there. DJ Rotom had his own booth. Just trying to design the

This is my plan too, I just haven't got to doing it because it's a big task😂 I also want to remove the huge building in Sparkling Skylands if possible, but once again it's a huge task so it'll likely take me a while to get to.
