USS Sant’Annu, capital of Italy (Tw)

St. Annu ship is in the first generation of the first appearance of the transportation, it is a very luxurious ship, to be able to get on board the passengers, most of them are not rich, so at that time in the game, the ship’s trainers are mostly in the gentleman, or Miss Thousand such as NPCs, and of course there are workers on board, such as sailors, and so on.

The St. Annu ship in the anime

The setting of the St. Annu ship is more like a mandatory level in the main game. In order to challenge the Dead Leaf Dojo, you have to go to the St. Annu ship and get the secret learning machine Guriken, then you can cut down the small tree in front of the door of the Dojo, and then you can challenge the electric attribute expert Mashishi. Maybe the producers didn’t think so much about the fact that once we got the secret machine, the ship was gone forever, never to return, so the St. Annu was a kind of disposable level that you could use up as soon as you were done with it.

The San Anu in-game

However, as the first appearance in the game, Pokémon world transportation, although the St. Annu’s role is not a lot, but at that time into the scene, there is a kind of in the game to experience a wave of the feeling of riding a boat, let a person impressive ah.

Water current ship

The Water Current is a new vehicle unveiled in the Gold and Silver Edition, it is similar to the St. Annu ship, both are water transportation tools in the world of Pokémon, but there is an essential difference with the St. Annu ship is that it can be reused, and the ship’s NPCs can be repeated to fight, and the lineup will also be changed with the weeks of the game time, at that time it was a really deep feeling of the charm of the design of the game!

The Water Current is also a setting that impressed me After the first time through the Gold and Silver Edition, the player returns to Wakaba Town and receives a phone call from the Doctor, after which he is commissioned by the Doctor to go to the Kanto area to investigate Pokémon, and then he will send you a ticket to the ship, after going to the Water Current, he will also receive a commission to help a gentleman find his granddaughter, after which the ship will arrive safely in the city of Kukaba.

Because I played the first generation before, and then went to play the gold and silver version, so when I got out of the ship in the game, and heard the BGM of the property in Kureha City, I really felt very happy!

Maglev Train

The Maglev Train is a new vehicle in the Gold and Silver Editions, just like the Suiryuu, but unlike the Suiryuu, it’s a purely transportation vehicle, and there’s no extra special plot on the train.

We can see the Maglev Train station in Mangin City and the railroad tracks laid on the road, and before the game passes, when you enter the station in Mangin City and talk to the staff, you will learn that the train is temporarily suspended due to power problems, and as you pass through the game and complete the storyline in which the remnants of Team Rocket steal the power parts, and then after finding the doll that mimics the girl’s lost dolls, you will be able to get a regular ticket to use the Maglev Train for an unlimited number of times. use the Maglev train now.

Maglev trains and stations in the anime

The Maglev Train can travel back and forth between Mangin City and Jinhuang City, and it’s much faster than the Suiryuu, and the over-the-top animation of the Maglev Train is so awesome that I was really wowed by it at the time!

Wave Breaker

The Wavebreaker is an important transportation vehicle inside the Third Generation Gem Edition, and its positioning is somewhat similar to that of the Water Current, mainly for shuttling between locations, and you can also challenge NPCs on the ship.

However, unlike the Mizuru, the Mizuru can only go back and forth between the cities of Kureha and Asao, the Wavebreaker can not only go back and forth between Kaina and Mizushima, but can also reach some special locations, such as the battle zone, and the Southern Isles, which are the border islands that you can only get rare tickets for through special events, and so on, so it can be said that it is a passenger ship with the largest number of routes.

The Wave Breaker in the game.

Only the NPCs of the Breaking Wave ship are not like the Water Current ship, which can be repeatedly brushed, but is more of a generational experience. The most surprising thing is that the captain of this broken wave ship is actually still Hatch old man, before going to the town of Wudou, or have to rely on his private boat to reach, after the game passes, directly change to sit on a big boat laugh.

Royal Hopper

Perhaps because the previous generations of ships are so classic, to the fifth generation of black and white, there is another ship, it is called the Royal Hopper, and it is more like a battle facility than a transportation, the player mainly has to challenge the NPCs in the ship, and if you complete the challenge, you can get the corresponding rewards, and you are able to repeat the challenge every day.

The Royal Hopper in the game

Royal Hopper can be said to be more fierce material It is a cruise ship, mainly shuttle in the Hopper’s fixed attractions, and then finally back to the starting point, is a cruise river, and in the game, you can also run to the deck to see the attractions, then this detail setting, really feel GF have in mind to do the game.

Versus Subway

Battle Subway is also the fifth generation of black and white in the new transportation, but and the above mentioned Royal Hopper is similar, it is more like a battle facilities, and is still a change in the packaging version of the Battle Tower, after all, climbing the tower brush tower has been too many examples, it is very easy to get tired of, and simply change into the Battle Subway, which is the form of not more rich some?

Versus Subway Illustration

Players challenged the Matchmaking Subway, you can go to another place in the Hopewell area Golden Wheel Town, which is a very peculiar place, can only be reached through the Matchmaking Subway by the corresponding train, you can not rely on walking or flying to come here, and this Golden Wheel Town is more like a railroad parking lot, there is a strong nostalgic atmosphere.

Miare Taxi

Last but not least is the Miare Taxi, which appeared in the Generation VI X and Y versions.

The city of Miare in X-Y is a huge city, arguably the largest in the Pokémon world, with six districts and six plazas, so it’s only natural that such a large city would require transportation, and cabs are a good example of that.

Map of Miare City

You can find cabs everywhere in Miare City, and by choosing your destination, you can get to the area you want instantly, but of course, only within the city. And as the player becomes more fashionable, there are also discounts on taxis. Of course, if you don’t have the money and want to ride in an overbearing taxi, the cab drivers in Miare City will challenge you to a fight, and the funniest part is that not only do you ride in an overbearing taxi, but when you beat the driver, they give you a bonus for winning the fight… Do the drivers in Miare City have to live every day to work for pay?

Cabs are everywhere in the game

Subsequent versions of the game, it is rare to see the transportation in the Pokémon world, perhaps in the seventh generation of the Sun Moon, the producers began to go to restore the Pokémon ecological settings, so the subsequent transportation, most of the Pokémon-based, the Galleys and Padilla region of the flying cabs is an example of this, it always feels like a little less realistic sense of immersion, but this is perhaps an example of the more complete Pokémon worldview. An example of a more complete worldview.

I’m Dr. Oki’s assistant, and researching Pokémon is my life’s work, so I’m going to start working on my next topic, so I’ll see you all next time!
