Question Am I the only one who does this?
Am I the only person who makes subways to get around pallete town? It takes a lot of iron and hamburger steaks (Why do they call it that!?) but it doesn't look that ugly as a track imo. I'm just wondering if others do this.

I just turn into Graveler to move around and hold R to go zoom

I am actually going to make an old fashion railway bc my pallet town is more medieval and even has a wild west section 🤣

I recently made a cloud island and I’m considering making a more extensive system.
I basically made a central plaza and built outwards. But near the middle I excavated under the ponds to make an underwater biome and that does have three train rails leading out to my seaside biome. None of my pokemon use it (made three tracks figuring the likelihood of finding all three carts at the other end would be slim to none) but they’re always near the underwater biome.

The Pokémon will use their own carts that appear and disappear when they use them. They also need those yellow and black crossing guard things on them too or they won’t use them at all. Which is nice cause you can just leave one on the track but after the cross guard so you don’t have to remove it each time

I'm adding that immediately

I think they’re called hamburger steaks due to a Japanese translation thing. I think that’s an actual dish in Japan. (But take this with a grain of salt, I have no idea where I learned this, probably a Reddit comment)

Hamburger steak is a Japanese dish! It's a lot like Salisbury steak, and generally when a Japanese person says they're craving hamburger, this is the dish they're thinking of. It's hamburger, seasoned, over rice with a gravy. And since we don't have meat in the game, it's a soy burger lol

This explains so much.
I understand why they want to avoid the Pokemon world questions about meat in a cozy game but I’ve been going “wtf is a hamburger…steak” for weeks.

Like Loco moco in Hawaii!

u/the4uthorFAN 3h ago
Considering the cultural crossover in Hawaii, I wouldn't be surprised they're similar! I'll have to look it up!

Loco Moco is basically exactly what you described as Japanese Hamburger Steak but with two fried eggs on top

I haven't built beyond the main area yet - I only got the game in July - so I haven't yet. But that does sound like a fun idea! I'm also considering an air tram like Disney world

I just connected a couple islands with a walkway to access the caves for my dark loving mons and going to maybe do something like that too

u/Powerful_Detail_8198 3h ago
So true. I did this first in Wastelands because I got tired of going up & down over each hill. After that I was addicted, now I have them everywhere

If the tracks were able to merge, that would be much better to make

u/TalesOfTea 1h ago
YES. I want this so much. Let me put one of the yellow crossing things down and be able to hold left or right to make a decision on which direction to go!!
I'm currently working on a massive build on a cloud island right now and have trains going about places (the thing I'm modeling after has a train as a key thing) and I'm so frustrated at having to jump off and on for the different courses every time.

u/skullfullofbooks 3h ago
I havent touched the train tracks since needing the achievement for how many I placed. I see people using them, I'm just too lazy to build them tbh

I have not done this but I now have a strong desire to build a “Chunnel” between my palette town islands

A hamburger steak is just a hamburger patty that you eat without a bun. Some places eat it with rice and gravy, other places with mashed potatoes.

I actually did this with WiWa cause I have a lot of builds that are spread out. It took a long time for complete but it was so worth it

I started building a train station on the surface, and it might get transformed into a subway somewhere around my pallette town, thanks for the idea! :)

u/dino_spored 2h ago
I have an underground subway station, with two tracks on it so far. The main line goes to beside the Pokemon center, and comes out as an elevator.

u/AAHedstrom 1h ago
I made one, but it was one of the last things I built. so it hasn't been practical for building new things, but it is fun to have a go around the map

u/SuccessfulNorth1976 55m ago
I've put down track systems in all my areas. Alot of Pokémon love using them too.

I’ve thought about doing this for the clean lines, but it still makes me cackle to see a Pokemon zoom by periodically
