We've seen recreations of EarthBound towns and entire Zelda maps in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and now a player who goes by the name assaultepic on Reddit has shared their creation of the fourth generation Pokémon region, Sinnoh.
This particular region was first introduced in Pokémon Diamond & Pearl on the Nintendo DS in 2006.
It was apparently as simple as searching for an image of the map on Google, importing it into the Happy Island Designer web app, and then following the grid lines in-game.
The creator says the Pokémon theme has also been expanded upon:
I made some custom hoodies with the starters and put them in Able Sisters so that the villagers can "pick their starter". Not seen any do so yet though
I've also been trying to make the villagers look like gym leaders by giving them clothes. So far I've got Volkner Ricky and a few others.
Although the map looks good from above, admittedly it's "not at all" practical to live on:
To be honest, it's rather cramp, especially because I used cliffs to fill in the middle part. I haven't done much with the island itself besides making the map, I wasn't sure what to do next!
What do you think of this recreation? How does it compare to your own island? Leave a comment down below.

The goals players are able to accomplish with their islands in this game never ceases to amaze me.
I would never be able to even come close to something like this. Nor would I want to, honestly, because if you'd go around the actual map I dunno how good that would actually look or how well everything would actually be laid out.
Impressive nontheless of course!
I do wish the islands could be a bit bigger honestly. But people still manage to do amazing things with them.
people have way too much time on their hands, and I'm not complaining cause this is awesome
This is awesome! Wish I had that much time on my hands. XD
@flagloverNZ Why are you always spamming those flags?
@Octane : Their username suggests that they ought to be spamming the New Zealand flag instead.
Methinks we have a spy among us.
@Silly_G Yeah it's weird, i see the irish flag. And me being from Ireland i'm curious to know what flag do you see?
@Octane Its quite annoying for such a small little thing, too. That flag throws off the alignment in my mobile browser so any article he comments on, it makes any comment after his very hard to read.
Had to put him on my ignore list just for that small reason. haha
@PhatToad I see the UK flag, and I'm from the UK
@HeyItsFlapjack Yeah, I've noticed that too.
I'm thinking it may be a spam bot, cause I don't think he replies to comments.
I mean, I didn't do the whole map, but I made a good chunk of my island into Eterna city. That was a pain in the butt, I can only imagine how tedious this was
I see the Canadian Flag, I'm from Canada!
I really don't understand why people get excited over this. How is it impressive, interesting, creative or awesome? Yes, it would take a long time, but it essentially just involves looking at a map and slowly drawing straight lines to match with some inefficient tools. It's like tracing.
@PhatToad I’m seeing the Canadian flag, but am from the UK.
@PhatToad I see the Canadian one and I'm from Canada
Lol it's funny how people are seeing different flags. I'm from Canada and see the Canadian, but I've noticed other flags before. Flag guy reminds me of 60 frames guy but I haven't notice him comment recently. Or word up son guy on push square lol.
This is a cool island idea, I like it a lot! I really enjoyed diamond
My island layout is inspired by hearthome city. I tried my best to incorporate a river and the villagers homes and I am pretty proud of myself. Its not over the top awesome like some viral islands at all but maybe it will get there at some point
The idea with the hoodies is pretty cool. Where can I get a piplup one? because that one is the superior one
@RPGamer Mine is no where near as awesome as other peoples', either. I've really had to learn to just be happy with what I have. There will always be others way more creative than me. haha
@Octane hi! My apologies for not replying, I have been an avid user since 2014 and have cleared what I am doing with mods before. The flag is totally non intrusive and a little hobby aside from Nintendo with no effect on any other user. I am a big Nintendo fan and my comments are not spam, I adhere to every community rule. If there is some way to DM or something feel free, if you wanna know more, I don't mean to bother! Enjoy your day, my apologies for not getting back to you once again.
@RPGamer Does it? It's just the map. If they showed something in-game like the Earthbound map.. but this is just a map screen.
Its cool to see someone make Sinnoh in Animal Crossing, but right now, its the closest thing we have to Gen 4 remakes.
Cool stuff, very nice to see!

@PhatToad : I was seeing the US flag, and as of today, I am seeing the Australian flag.
@Silly_G I have seen a brazilian flag lol
@RPGamer I didn't criticize anyone. I'm certainly allowed to have an opinion. But something taking a while doesn't make it good or impressive. I was just curious why everyone seems so out of control excited over it. It's confusing is all.
