Here is a view of the map where all of the habitat regions have been put in. The Pokemon that can be found in each region are listed in their designated categories.

The PokeCenter is actually located underground. There's an old shed near the gym; if you go inside, there's nothing but a handrail and spiral staircase leading down about 30 feet. You end up in a small room with a door, and once you walk through, a huge waiting area and check in counter can be seen, all of the furniture modern and either black, white, or a gray tone. Everything is spotless and tidy. You hook and right down a short hallway and come to a large open cafeteria, and on the opposite side of the room is the PokeMart.

Marter Townhomes are amazingly cozy if you want a simple, non-stressful farm life in the country. Just along the outskirts of the town are 5 streets that all connect together, making a small neighborhood of town homes to either rent or purchase. Before bought all houses look alike, but once people move it, they're welcome to do whatever they want to the place to make it home.

The entire town of Marter is surrounded by seemingly endless miles of grass and lightly wooded areas. Many grass, bug, normal, flying, fighting, and ground Pokemon can be found in this habitat.

The grasslands consume most of routes 15, 16, and 17. Many wild grass, bug, flying, and normal Pokemon can be found and caught.

Route 18 runs from Baroonpar to Route 19, passing through a good chunk of the swamp lands where many wild Pokemon reside. Route 19 begins a just before the swamp lands meet the grassy plains, passing through them and finally ending at Jungloo City.

The Gym in the town of Baroonpar is decorated as if an "antique" looking area made entirely of wood. It's a very stable building, but looks as if it's going to crumble down any moment. Swampy, mossy, purple-black pits of water surround the gym like a moat, only a fairy stable wooden bridge connecting from the grass and over the eerie, bubbling waters to the doorstep of the Gym. Poison is the Gym leaders strength.

The Baroonpar Treehouses are gorgeous, all wooden built masterpieces in the canopies. Just on the outskirts of town west, expanding from the town to the edge of the shoreline, are hundreds of homes for rent or buy built in the branches of the lower, middle, upper, and even the very tops of the trees. All of these homes are 2 bed/2 bath, 3 bed/2 1/2 bath, or 4 bed/3 bath. The majority of all of the walls on all of these homes are pure glass windows to look out into the jungle, so be sure to buy huge curtains for when you need privacy from travelers!

The entrance to Mallis cave is accessible just off of Route 22 facing west. Here, you'll encounter many trainers, and many different kinds of steel, rock, ground, fighting, dark, psychic, ghost, electric, and dragon Pokemon. The exit to Mallis Cave takes you to the southeast corner of the Jungle, and if you continue more southeast, you'll soon come to Route 19 at the edge of the Swamp and Grass lands. Route 19 can then take you to Jungloo City. Happy catching!

Along the mountainside and by the shoreline on the outskirts of Vantis, many different trainers and wild grass, bug rock, ground, fighting, dragon, water, and steel Pokemon can be found.

The village is very old fashion. The jungle comes to a steep drop and the village of Vantis is located on the side of it. Rock homes carved into the steep mountainside line for a few miles, winding around the entire northwest and north shore side. At the base of the town, and very long, two-lane trail kisses the edge of ten foot drop off where the very base of the mountain side meets the waters edge. Be very careful when venturing here. The village folk are very polite, but are very old fashioned, and don't fancy technology what-so-ever. They stick to Tauros drawn wagons, wooden fires, and a cooking pot dangling over a fire to cook their meals in. The best homemade food in all of Shinoko can be found in this village.

This pond is a very homey place for different water, ice, ground, steel, and dragon Pokemon. Certain types of these Pokemon don't normally reside around waters, but for reasons unknown, they do. This pond is surrounded by jungle, cattails, and very tall grass and bushes.

The Jungloo Gym is located in the very center of the city, and is by far the most flashy, most entertaining gym there is in all of Shinoko. Whenever a challenger approaches, they must get the strength either in themselves or using their Pokemon to pull the enormously heavy rope doorbell. Choreographed dancers run out and do a short 30 second dance on the front steps of the gym. After they are done, the leader, whom has electric type Pokemon, is supposed to come out and accept the challenge. Tons of flashy lights and laser shows every weekend in front of the gym after 8PM. This gym is just as alive as the entire city.

The school is down the street from the gym, and roughly the same size, too. The school has classes that include Beginner Pokemon Training, Moderate Pokemon Training, Master Pokemon Training, Cooking, Crafts, Music, Dance, Becoming a Professor, Fossil Hunting, Rare Pokemon Watching, Archery, Football, Badminton, Bowling, and much more. The Jungloo PokeCenter and mart is directly next to the University.

Both of these bodies of water are rather barren, inhabiting only a few wild water and flying Pokemon, but are the clearest of all the fresh water bodies in Shinoko. They are clean enough to drink and most definitely safe to swim in.

Routes 27 through 29 run straight through the desert, where tons of trainers and wild rock, ground, fighting, electric, and fire Pokemon can be found. All of these rounds also run along the Lake Atomi and Atomi Pond, where very few wild water and flying Pokemon can be found. At the joining of Route 27, 29, and 5, there is another family owned PokeCenter and Mart.

The Pokemon Center is located just kiddy corner to the Pokemon Gym, the Mart is connected to it, but not accessible from the inside, only the outside. The vines like on the gym over the outside of these buildings as well, having to be trimmed away often from growing over the doors or the PokeCenter sign.

The gym leader here favors Grass type Pokemon, and is tough to beat, even up against a strong element. The grass Pokemon in this town are used to the heat of the desert just west of them, and have grow somewhat distant to fire Pokemon. The walls of this gym cannot be seen, for there are millions and millions of vines that stretch from the base of the gym all the way to the top, tons of different plants and flowers climbing the vines.

Route 32 is connected to 4 different routes. Route 34, 33, 31, and 3. Civilians along the route have renamed the Route to The Lucky 32, it being one of 5 different routes all connected by this one, and all with at least one number "3" within the route. Having five routes all connect by one with the number 3 in it was considered lucky, making this a very popular tourist route. Along the path are merchants selling their home made crafts, foods, or even selling Pokemon they've bred to sell to little trainers as "Pre-Starter" Pokemon, and even gambling and magic tables where you can be entertained and put a coin into a hat, or test your luck in a game of poker.

Starting at the outskirts of Elite City just northeast and continuing along the shoreline, are ginormous mansions that are built on the sides of the Volcano. Each mansion gets no less than 19 aches of land between them and their neighbors, complete privacy, pool and Jacuzzi, PokeParks, stables, anything.

This road takes you from Elite City to the Elite Four mansion, a winding, long, rough road that takes you around and even slightly through the base of the Volcano. Many trainers are along this path, if not the most of them. A lot of trainers stay along this path in hopes that strong trainers will pass by to go to the Elite Four, giving them the chance to get stronger before having enough courage themselves to finally face the E.F. and finish their journey. Wild fire, fighting, ground, rock, and dragon Pokemon are found around the Volcano.
