This is it guys, the big one. The last route remoor will ever have (probably not true since I will probably make another one at some point x3), before the elite four. This, as a commemoration for it being the last route we have to do in order to be a complete site, I decided it would be member designed, rather then designed by staff members.
Just a few guidelines:
- The members who submitted complete lists of migrating pokemon that were editted to the new format can have one pokemon (per route of migrators they completed) that will definitely be put into the route. This means, if you did 3 routes, you can have three Pokemon that will be put into the route without any discussion. Pick Pokemon you, as a member, would like to catch one day.
- Staff members, even if you submitted your migrators, should not even suggest ideas. This is to be member designed only. Trial mods are allowed to post however.
- This is a community discussion. Discuss in this thread everything, including pokemon rarities, which pokemon migrate to the route, the route description, everything.
- Try and suggest pokemon you like. I know many of the routes may not cater to the tastes of all members, so this is your route to get the pokemon you like.
- Avoid getting more then twenty pokemon on the route.
That's it. Typing and everything is completely up to you

Well, since I suppose this final route should be quite challenging (quite - pffftt - VERY challenging) I would like to put Xatch's idea forward. (I therefore take no credit for it. Consider it more as a 'my vote goes to-')
In case you haven't read Xatch's idea in the suggestions board, it's suppposed to be mainly an ice route, so I'm thinking a difficult mountain trek, maybe some kind of a blizzard-swept thundra. That kinda stuff xD
So, yep, like I said, think good route just before the Elite Four - think XATCH AND HER AMAZING IDEA!!!
xD luv ya all

I vote mountainy thundra with ice all around where only ice types rule. Maybe a rock or steel type but mainly ice. I vote icy mountain route.

Wow... People really love that idea? I didn't think it would be supported very much. ^^;;
I obviously like the mountainous idea. I don't know how big we want the route though, so I don't know about tundra (since those are huge by definition). I'd say mountains with no real trail (since they'd keep getting covered with snow from the blizzards), and a series of ice caverns underneath. That would be awesome.
Depending on how big the route is, I like the tundra idea too. ^^

I agree with the ice/steel/rock route idea!
I know this isn't a lot of help but the mountain idea is great! The idea that a dangerous, trail-less mountain could be the final route is awesome! Like... one of the lasts tests for tainers! ... As long as wild Bronzors are available in the caves or something. ^.-

I fully agree with the idea of a mountainous region. Also, it should have some sort of significance of human life, like a hiker in a cabin who needs you to do something for him, or even plot-related stuff.
If it's going to be mountainous, make sure to have air-related Pokemon at the summit, just to add to the idea of high peaks. It'd be cool if Articuno appeared there every once in a while if it's going to be an Ice area.

Exactly my thought, Joel. Btw, I just noticed that Shana wanted us to post the informtion on what Pokémon we want on the route, chosen from those that you have done yourself in the previous contest. Well, if nobody ain't got nothin' against that, I think I'd choose..... Drifblim!!! As if, it would dwell near the peaks. xD

Out of the three routes I did, I'd have to say I'd put swinub in there. It's a severely underused pokemon, unfortunately. I'd put a ploswine and/or mamoswine in there too, but swinub is the one I picked for the other route, sooo... *shrug* xD
I love the cabin-in-the-woods idea. Maybe it could be a monastery, kind of like a final gym/resting place for trainers. Like, the trainers have to defeat some of the monks (or whomever is there) and then they can stay within the monastery. Otherwise it's outside in the blizzard for them. It would give them a chance to train before the elite four too!

Actually, I meant this was a reward for people who actually helped do that for me, not picking pokemon you picked for another route.
My goal is to let you do everything you would like to add to this route. But, the essentials are wild pokemon, migrators and a board description; but you may make sub-boards, trainers who lurk around to challenge, and really anything you want to.
I should have been more clear, but I don't want to restrict you by making you pick the same pokemon again. You may choose anything.

Ohhh... Okay, gotcha. xD In that case, I know a few pokemon offhand I'd definitely put there. Piloswine would have to be it, since swinub would have evolved by the time it got to the levels of the route...
Speaking of which, what levels would we have? I'm thinking maybe 40-46-ish? That seems like it would provide quite a challenge for trainers climbing the mountain.
Of course, that also means that the average pokemon on that route is as strong as the pokemon used by the final gym leader, but any weaker and they meet the average from Tenta Shoal, which is a little too weak.

Ohhh, okay! I think. xD So I guess I can list a couple pokemon I think perhaps should be there. That is, if no one minds. Of course you're welcome to object to any of them for whatever reason(s). - Bronzor/Bronzong (Maybe as a migrating pokemon because of its rarity on the site)
- Sableye
- Seel/Dewgong (maybe through ice fishing)
- Jynx
- Sneasel/Weavile
- Aron (perhaps very rare in the caves or found migrating)
- Spheal/Sealeo/Walrein (Maybe through ice fishing)
- Snorunt/Glaile
Just a rough idea, I guess.
since swinub would have evolved by the time it got to the levels of the route... Not if they don't want to evolve. Remember the lvl 40+ seel in the games? They can be in their first form if desired. Perhaps. >.>; [/blockquote]

Oh, right, got ya Shana! Sorry.
But then, how many pokemon can we choose? I'll just do it like Thunder, and if I write down too many, I'll modify this post to the required amount.
That good? xD
Ok then, weeell:
- Delibird, living up in the mountain tops. - We can also have a limited amount of Mamoswine, as opposed to having common Piloswine. - Abomasnow, uncommon perhaps. And if we're doing the monastery thing, we could have an undercroft, with ghost Pokémon in it, but mainly Froslass. That'd be cool. xDD

I like the idea of having ghost pokemon around the monastery. Maybe there's a small cemetery for dead monks and the ghost pokemon rise from there - or are even the spirits of the monks. That would be awesome. The ghost pokemon would be impossible to catch though; you'd have to get them by convincing them that you're a worthy partner... Or something like that.
Lessee... As far as pokemon, I'd like to add one or two to the list. Also, I think delibird should be removed, mostly because it's a migrator on like three routes already. I think we should leave it as sort of the "christmas pokemon," you know? Feel free to disagree, of course, but that's just my thinking.
Also, as far as the swinub evolutions go... I think having piloswine be uncommon, swinub be rare, and mamoswine be ultra rare would work well. *nod*
- Smoochum (found in the company of adult jynx; the smoochum would be babies, and thus lower level) - Beldum (uncommon); Metang (rare) - Piplup or prinplup (probably the latter) - Staryu/Starmie
Let's see... For the ghost pokemon around the monastery, maybe:
- Glastly/haunter/gengar - Sableye - Duskull/Dusclops - Misdreavus/Mismagius
...or other stuff like that.
