I am having A Time.
Important update 26 April 2026
Withered Wasteland
Irrigation Project
Initialization – 8 March 2026
Coming along – 19 March 2026
Pink stucco duplex
Addition to the pink hut construction kit. I’m digging the adobe/California vibe. Lower unit is “bee unit” (Combee, Vespiquen) and other flower-lovers. Upper unit is the Clefairy line as their bronze statue is right outside.
26 April 2026 update – on the stairs
Charizard finding something hilarious.
Log cabin duplex and tunnel
Restored the log cabin on the Palette Town side of the ridge, added a second story, and carved a tunnel through the ridge from the ‘main’ area. Roughneck/construction bro Pokemon live in the lower unit. Upper unit right now is misc Pokemon who need a home.
Update 7 May 2026 – Naptime at the cabin
Around town
Rounded up a bunch of fire Pokemon and marched them to the community box where I had put clay.
The bread dogs live in the cafe.
Metagross lived with the Litwick line before he moved to the IT Department in the Skylands. Here’s Chandelure checking out his bed.
The Mew(two) contingent is living upstairs in the cafe until I make them a more appropriate place. Though I did have to knock out several glass panels so Mewtwo can get in because he’s huge. At least he can hover…
Condos at the Trash Site
The ultimate in trash-loving living! A lovely condo directly above the trash collection and burning sites and set into the cliff-side to keep all that trash aroma localized.
A deluxe two-story condo for the discerning connoisseur of fine trash. Featuring grating floors directly above the furnaces – so the tenants on the upper floor don’t miss out on that bouquet of burning trash and trash that’s been sitting out in the heat a while.
A better view of our open-concept lower condo. Warm beds right next to the furnaces.
Wide-screen TV and all the amenities you would expect of a high-class establishment.
Summer is the best time to experience Condos at City Dump; call for tours.
Bleak Beach
Cabana at the Step-Down Hot Springs
A bit of paradise in paradise. Based on the Awase-yu (合わせ湯) pools I visited at Otaki-no-yu bathhouse in Kusatsu-onsen, Genma. Fun story — I did not know what awase-yu meant, but I assumed that because it contained the kanji for joining or meeting (合) it was a co-ed bath. The woman I asked in the locker room about this was baffled. Awase-yu is actually a means of “meeting” the water temperature up to one’s tolerance — a series of baths increasing in temperature as one become acclimated. The hottest bath is at the top of the cascade, getting its water straight from the yubatake (water source). The water cools as it runs down the tiers. I did not make it to the hottest bath. Or the second-hottest.
These crazy bastards (whom I love), however, live in the top (hottest) bath:
The cabana adjacent. Houses ‘mons who love to mind the shop.
The locals. (Zoroark doesn’t live here but he’s always coming over to run the till.)
Marsh House
House built over the swamp for the swamp-lovers.
The hammock by the outdoor portion of the marsh is a hit.
Update 7 May 2026
Update 15 July 2026 – Muk and Grimer moved to the Trash Condos in Withered Wasteland, so the ‘sire gang gets the place to themselves. And a whole vending machine of their own, at Paldean Wooper’s request.
Around town
The villagers gather to call somebody out.
Eepy.
Rocky Ridges
Lava Lofts + Annex
The hottest condos in town. Clearly must be because everybody in town (including my grass types) keeps coming by to visit.
9 Apr 2026 update: expanded to third unit
Update 16 Apr 2026 – Chillin’
Look…
Update 26 April 2026 – New roomies (and some visitors)
Armarouge and Ceruledge feeling each other out.
Another knight-errant come to visit.
Under-the-Stairs House
Making use of the massive space taken up by the stairs to the lava lofts. Made for the “baby” fossils (Amaura, Tyrunt, Cranidos) and Larvitar.
Tyranitar visiting the little sib (who is apparently hilarious).
The Roost Chalet
Updated version – 7 May 2026 (with some pictures with decent lighting)
Version 1.0 – initial core.
26 April 2026 – More development
Volcarona came by to light the fireplace and stayed for a chat.
Some happy residents.

15 July 2026 – Some visitors willing to make the climb
Around town
Going for a beach-bummy cafe in the mountains kind of thing.
Enjoying the ‘original’ hot spring.
Lombre taking a siesta outside the kappa house.
Rain dancing.

I take more selfies in this game an hour than I do IRL in an entire year.

Sparkling Skylands
Construction Junction + The IT Department
Exterior – Main
Dragonite came to visit.
IT Department Entrance (up the side stairs)
“Can we build it??”
Creative differences.
“Have you tried turning it off and on again?”
Around Town
Neighborly chats.
The skylift hub.
Palette Town
I do prefer this spelling, even though “Pallet Town” has been part of my psychic geometry since childhood.
Skating Rink and Rooftop Garden (Abandoned Power Plant buildout)
The rink/arcade is still under construction.
15 July 2026 – More fun on the rooftop garden.
The Eevilla
The rooms are still a mishmash of furniture I threw in at various Eeveelutions’ requests; need to take better photographs later.
The “light lovers” side of the house – Espeon, Leafeon, Flareon, Jolteon.
The solunar duo.
Sylveon and Flaaffy enjoying the porch on a rainy night.
Espeon showing off something–I think it’s the psychic trick with the blocks.
Eepy (on what was supposed to be Flareon’s bed).
Around town
Kadabra on about something.
What I think of as “happy cat face”.
A meeting of the minds.
