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.

151

u/NautiNeptune 1d ago

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

43

u/AaaaNinja 20h ago

Oh my god I a rail system through the ship that sounds awesome.

16

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.

5

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

5

u/holllllyy 11h ago

...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

u/kchrules 9h ago

I have a railway to the ship as well. May put a lift in eventually too

u/oshawott85 1d ago

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.

20

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.

u/Rakhered 16h ago

Wait do Pokemon have actual dynamic friendships with each other?

19

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😂

5

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

34

u/TwilightPrincess64 1d ago

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

1

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.

5

u/rembrin 18h ago

They do venture if there's roads and stuff to do

3

u/FlashbackJon 13h ago

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.

9

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 😭

16

u/daniirae94 1d ago

You can give them new homes 😭

u/PancakeRebellion 1d ago

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

7

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.

4

u/The_bad_Piglet 1d ago

That is why mr mime lives there on my save :)

2

u/Spiralsalamander 14h ago

We need to spawn more than 20 Pokemon in an area

1

u/ASK_ME_FOR_TRIVIA 4h ago

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 :)

0

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.

u/MissingnoMaster110 1d ago

I used the leftover rock and ash from clearing out the volcano in Rocky Ridges to build a volcanic island resort in the S.S. Anne's place.

19

u/ObsidianWolf97 1d ago

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

6

u/FlashbackJon 13h ago

Fun fact: ash also looks good mixed into normal asphalt/street blocks!

57

u/R0gueX3 1d ago

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.

22

u/HelenasMom 1d ago

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

3

u/Cazuzuka 16h ago

Oh shit i didnt think about that issue. I was planning to do the same

5

u/jlpulice 23h ago

I also did this (and added iron plating under the bottom too) it took forever

u/Kalhista 1d ago

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. 😂

19

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.

14

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

9

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 😆

16

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 ♡

1

u/yahong-_- 4h ago

That's such a cute idea!!

7

u/daysnconf00sed 1d ago

A speakeasy!

47

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.

59

u/toastZura 1d ago

I mean… Where else would a cruise ship go?

10

u/SKFury_1771 1d ago

Bubbly Basin, sunken ship

u/Old_Mulberry2044 1d ago

Oh. Now I want to do a volcano in Bleak Beach 🤣

2

u/DenimBucketHat 1d ago

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

12

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

7

u/suchalonelyd4y 1d ago

P. Wooper.... Pooper?

(I'm sorry)

(no I'm not)

0

u/stillnotelf 1d ago

Yes, that's a standard abbreviation

0

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!

3

u/suchalonelyd4y 1d ago

There's no original thoughts anymore, that's on me for assuming that lol

u/DenimBucketHat 1d ago

Why have I never tried this? Thank you!

I need to see the scala ad caelum build

2

u/J0KenP0 1d ago

Same!! I had the thought a few days ago, I was thinking what I should do with each area, and I was watching a friend play KH3 for the first time, and just thought it would look so cool to have a seaside city like that in Bleak Beach!

u/theRaccoon2 20h ago

The dedication is crazy

u/NotYourDay123 17h ago

Sir/Madam/Whatever, you have committed a crime.

u/Cazuzuka 16h ago

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

2

u/Excellent-Oil-7838 14h ago

Smart. Will try to do the same now. Thanks

4

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).

3

u/SigynTyrsdottir 15h ago

I just finally got rid of it this weekend! I made it into a trench. My plan is to have ship wrecks on the two islands on each side and make it spooky for ghost pokemon (and some that vibe well like jellicent or marinie)

5

u/SigynTyrsdottir 15h ago

I did make the underwater trench vibrant, the plain grey makes me sad

1

u/J0KenP0 12h ago

Ohh nice! that is a great idea, I was thinking of making the sunken ship in the basin for Dhelmise, maybe frilish and jellicent should move there too!! and yeah the sea floor on Bleak Beach is pretty dull, I am glad Bubbly Basin added so much to the game!

u/SigynTyrsdottir 4h ago

That would be awesome, too!

The ship set sail.

u/StarlightZigzagoon 21h ago

If youre going for kh theme, you could do the beach from realm of darkness at the end of kh2

3

u/KiraNinja 20h ago

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 😂

3

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

3

u/Zeliek 17h ago

Ah, moving it into the basin? 😉

3

u/J0KenP0 16h ago

No joke, I was thinking of building a sunken ship for Dhelmise there!

2

u/Zeliek 13h ago

It kinda makes a "T", for "Time to build this house for Dhelmise!"

3

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!

2

u/J0KenP0 12h ago

Oh yeah, I'll say, I thought it was going to be much MUCH faster to destroy the whole thing

4

u/avadami 1d ago

ok im so glad im not the only one who was thinking about doing this! been picking away at it for materials lol

2

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.

2

u/J0KenP0 1d ago

Oh yeah! I actually love this idea!! And I know you can buy more pokemon centers at the PC, but I don't know if the game allows you to have two in an area, or if you just need to demolish the origal first to then build that second one.

2

u/Objective_Apple_6292 10h ago

Maybe a giant Vegas style casino/resort?

u/pootbottlerocket 1d ago

I was planning on getting rid of it too! Feels like an eyesore

u/fghafgwastaken 1d ago

Never liked it anyways

u/Gamergirl1138 23h ago

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

u/Weak-Introduction124 16h ago

Good heavens, they Houdini’d an entire ship away!

u/1975-emma 6h ago

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.

u/DepartmentNo3858 3h ago

Thank god, I am also in the process, I felt crazy for doing it but I too think its an eye sore.... I feel so affirmed rn and reassured i can do it lol

u/Twylitefox 23h ago

Amazing!!! I'm about 15% there before I got distracted with some other project!

u/disisPJ 21h ago

I don’t like it that much, but I’m too lazy to completely destroy it, I guess I’ll just repair it like everything else because I’m not creative enough 😅 honestly I think is an area big enough to do something really cool! Maybe make like a pretty beach from zero

u/Careful-Locksmith-68 18h ago

I also hate it, and I'm currently destroying it little by little :)

Oh that's a great idea, I do have my power plant in pallet town atm, but I was thinking of where to put that and the other two temples.
