I have posted this before on the old forums. I'll just repost here again in order to be further discussed.
One concept, two ideas.
The first idea would be the gym in one of the towns. This particular town would have to be placed in a somewhat rocky area. The gym leader would like to live away from civilization and would have his/her gym atop a really high mountain thing. The only way to access the top would be going inside from the bottom (so it would be a cave) and there would be wild Pokémon inside, so the trainer would have to go really well equipped in terms on potions, etc, in order to reach the gym with healthy Pokémon.
For the mountain effect, it would have to consist of a few layers, so the player could only go up inside the cave. I only made two layers on this map there because it's really boring drawing that, and it's just to show the idea. To see what I really mean now, check this horrible drawing out:
As you can see, there are some exits, meaning that sometimes the player would go in and out the mountain along the way. On the top of the mountain, there would be the gym :$
The second idea, and this one is pretty huge, would be the following:
This was my idea for Town Y of the map assignment, which would be called
Cerandia because I can't think of a better name right now as I am typing this.
The people of Cerandia believed that the town was blessed by legendary Pokémon
Kyogre, as it had blessed them with water (duh lol) so the town could pretty much rely on itself for food (they could get lots of fish), blah blah etc, though they'd get alot of rain but it was good for the fertile grounds.
At one point in the game, there would be regular earthquakes in the landmass where Cerandia is located for about a week, and contrary to every other region of Miryus, Cerandia would be the only town where every single inhabitant would demonstrate to be worried about the earthquakes when the player would go talk to them.
After about a week of the earthquakes, a new landmass would rise from the ocean south of Cerandia! What could that possibly be?
That would be Spiral Mountain (and I just remembered thats from Digimon but whatever), which would be basically like the previous idea of the gym atop of the mountain. Except the mountain would be like, nearly 10x bigger (as in, REALLY HUGE, lol) and would have dozens of dead ends and circular paths so it would be really really hard to reach the top. Now, this would be a challenge for the most experient players.
Basically, the same concept applies as the first idea, except there would be a very maze-ish feeling, both inside and outside the caves, so it could take hours to reach the top. There would be wild Pokémon inside, but considering this would be extremely huge, they wouldn't appear half as often as in tall grass or whatever. Let's say, they'd appear, at most, 1/3 as often as they normally would. There would be rock Pokémon and a couple of fire type ones that the player would only be able to catch here and then never again. The lava kind, the likes of Slugma and Magmar.
This pretty much sums up what the player could find at the top:
Sweet :3
Now, either this special event would last for a few days, and then the mountain would sink back into the ocean, or this would just be for the really strongest players, and the mountain would just stick there forever.
The player would defeat Groudon and get some awesome item, or something. Plus would be able to catch a couple of unique Pokémon inside the mountain caves.
Also, the spot where Groudon would be located could only be seen in its entirity when the player was at that spot (there would be no mountain layers below in which the player would still be able to see that spot) so it would be possible to incorporate the sky around that area, instead of sea or something, so it looks more epic.
