Tumblecube Island (Japanese: カクコロ島 Kakukoro Island) is the setting of the game Pokémon Quest. The island appears to be uninhabited by any humans, only being home to cube-shaped wild Pokémon known as Pokéxels. The Pokémon of Tumblecube Island each have a special item called a Power Charm. Power Stones can be placed into these charms to make them more powerful.

Statues of Pokéxels seem to hold a symbolic importance for Tumblecube Island. These statues are discovered when the player clears the boss stage for each area.

History

Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.

An ancient civilization once lived on Tumblecube Island. A number of statues from long ago can be found on the island in the present, but no one knows who made them. At some point in the past, a Mewtwo was sealed in the Chamber of Legends. The statues are linked in some way to this prison.

In the present, the player character and their drone MoBee came by boat to Tumblecube Island in search of loot. They established a base camp in the First Steppe, and from there set out to explore the island. The two found plenty of items, including all ten of the Chamber of Legends statues. With them, they hoped to access the Chamber of Legends and find a grand treasure hidden there. This adventure was actually being slightly influenced by the Mewtwo, who secretly controlled MoBee and used it to press the adventurer to find all of the statues. After they collected every statue, the cloud cover over the Chamber of Legends parted and Mewtwo was freed. A bridge rose from the ocean connecting the island to the Chamber of Legends. The player went over and defeated Mewtwo in battle, and the Pokémon decided to leave the island. After that, the mysterious Happenstance Island rose out of the water, lined up with the bridge. The player continued their expeditions on Happenstance Island.

Geography

As its name suggests, Tumblecube Island is an island where everything consists of cubes. Traces of an old civilization that no longer exists remain on the island. There is also a an abundance of precious loot hidden on the island to find, such as ingredients, Power Stones, and the aforementioned statues. Tumblecube Island has 12 areas of varying terrain, each with very sharp borders between them. There are plains, rivers, highlands, forests, and two cave systems. Two of these areas are smaller islands that lay off the coast of Tumblecube Island, though both are difficult to access.

Areas

Each area has one to nine stages to explore. In practice, both of those numbers are outliers, with the true range being four to six, The number of stages in each area gradually increases with each successive area.

Pokémon Quest has a slightly non-linear structure, where multiple areas are unlocked as a group, then the final stage of each area in such a group has to be cleared to unlock the next set. Every area has a number, suggesting a specific intended order. This order takes the player laterally across the island. However, the strength of the enemies scales upward not per area, but per stage across the different areas in a group. If one were playing in the order of the strength of the enemies, then they would play every first stage from each area, then every second stage from each area, then every third stage from each area, and so on.

In the story, MoBee locates each area that is unlocked. This excludes the final two areas, which the player gains access to for plot related reasons.

Most areas have a bonus type. Pokémon of that typing get boost to their HP and Attack stats while in stages of that area. While most ingredients can be found in any area, each area has different probabilities for having ingredients of a specific color.

Trivia

This flag on the island's map on the game's website links to the Videos section. It is located directly on top of Belly Button Cave. This is not the place in the game where the cave is selected, since Pokémon are unable to climb up the cave on the map screen.

• A map of Tumblecube Island is used as a framing device for the game's website. The pages of the site are linked to by yellow flags with a Poké Ball printed on them. These flags are located in Backforth Brook, Belly Button Cave, Pincushion Plain, and Hushed Highlands. These flags are not seen in game in any capacity. Their locations do not necessarily correlate with the locations of the buttons that are seen in the game for each area.
