APokemon Emeraldplayer and artist stated that they are painting the entire map of the Hoenn Region, and shared five paintings they have created so far on social media. ThePokemonfan artist stated that they were halfway done with turning the Hoenn region into paintings, and other fans complimented them for their ongoing effort and for depictingPokemon Emeraldin their art.
As the third version that went alongsidePokemon Ruby and Sapphire,Pokemon Emeraldwas released in 2004 in Japan, and in 2005 in Western markets. As didPokemon YellowandPokemon Crystalbefore it,Pokemon Emeraldmade some changes to the Hoenn region that were not featured inPokemon Ruby and Sapphire. Between gym battle updates, the player character receiving a new outfit, and a new story that focuses onthe powerful Legendary Pokemon Rayquaza,Pokemon Emeraldis considered by fans to be among the top “third versions” of thePokemonfranchise. Pokemon Emerald was referenced during thePokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphireepilogue, dubbed the Delta Episode.
WhilePokemon Emeraldfans have depicted the game’s Hoenn regionin different styles, one fan artist chose a unique approach. On Reddit, a user named DavSketch shared five paintings of their ongoing work to paint the entire Hoenn region on the r/Pokemon subreddit. Across five screenshots, DavSketch shared their efforts in painting various locations and features ofPokemon Emerald. The post showed their work on Dewford Town, Petalburg Woods, the Abandoned Ship, the Fiery Pass under Mt. Chimney, and a Secret Base made in a dark cave. DavSketch also included an Easter egg of another Nintendo character, Kirby, interacting with a Poliwag in their painting of Dewford Town.

In the Secret Base that they created in the painting, DavSketch had their Sceptile and Poliwhirl sitting around the cave’s floor, with a table and posters of Zangoose and Seviper along the walls. Although Secret Bases were a feature that went by the wayside in subsequentPokemongames, it remainsa sentimental favorite amongPokemontrainers. In the comments, DavSketch stated that they were roughly halfway done with their project at the time of writing and that the spots they chose for their post were picked randomly. OtherPokemonfans praised DavSketch for the paintings and their commitment to painting the entire Hoenn project.
Through the years, boththe Hoenn region and its native Pokemonremained fan favorites. Though it’s a long task, it remains to be seen when DavSketch finishes theirPokemon Emeraldpainting project.
