Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: New Skies

This is a blog I repurposed into a place to publicly host ideas and art for my fleshed out Pokemon Mystery Dungeon AU, New Skies. While it most follows the events of, and takes place in the locations of Explorers of Sky, the broader world (as shown in Super) is all a part of it too.

one, im not naturally great at drawing canines. so that makes it harder

In New Skies, the universe of pokemon is structured like so.

There are two main dimensions; one being the world as shown here:

(this is a fanmade map reflecting the canon one in super, but unfortunately reverse image search isn't turning up its creator, so i can't credit it)

The key thing about this world is that there are no humans, only pokemon and their various settlements, cities, towns, and cultures. Population density is generally pretty low, with cities such as Treasure City (formerly Treasure Town) being fairly rare but slowly growing in number. While pokemon are somewhat familiar with the idea of humans - especially since the Hero of the Meteor - they do not know much about them or their world. The structure of the duel dimensions is not common knowledge, only that there is at least one other world out there that looks very different than the one they know.

Said dimension is made up of various regions developed by humans, generally in sync with pokemon.

An unknown amount of time ago, in another age, Arceus split the universe down the middle in order to create a world completely separate from humans for pokemon - especially legendaries - to dwell peacefully.

Of course, most humans (especially in the modern day) prefer to leave pokemon be, or live alongside them in a mutually beneficial manner. There are, however, always those that for whatever reason try to control or corral them and use them towards evil ends.
