Fondent region
The Fondent region is a small coastal country in the world, dominated by mega-corporations, called Pillars. Of these, the most prominent and powerful is the news and entertainment media monopoly Omnichannel. It is the location of two proposed plots:
- The Spyder in the Cathedral, where five Pillars are scheming together to take full control of the region.
- Qiangong2's plot, where Omnichannel has total control and the other Pillars do not exist.

Map
Alternative layout
The standard map is spread out, rather than interconnected. An alternative might be to make the map more compact and a little more interconnected.
Town features
Scoop Stores
These combination fast food and retail stores sell items, and will also heal your tuxemon - for a fee, or if you sit through an ad from one of their sponsors.
They offer other services that are slowly made redundant by Team Bazaar:
- Banking
- Renaming
- Contacts
- Badges
- Healing
Team Hideouts
In each city, Team Bazaar, the hackers and free spirits, find hideouts where they can avoid the Pillars' scrutiny. They're a place for battle and healing, as well as scoring new open source apps that Team Bazaar programmers have developed.
Examples include:
- An abandoned Mansion they're squatting in
- Cafes
Challenge Circles
Before each city or town's hideout will accept you and give you free healing, you have to defeat a bunch of them in battle.
Apps
Riverboat Stations
Once reopened, they allow you to travel immediately and safely to any city or town that you have already been to.

Organisations at the time of Qiangong2's plot
Spyder
Spyder creates poisons and inhibiting drugs (officially Medicine). Original purpose was to develop Tuxemon poisons.
Omnichannel
Omnichannel is the ruling power in the region. Local Government has some power, but most everything is controlled by Omnichannel. Structure is set up like North Korea a bit. Kane has absolute power, though there are his "advisors", the "board of directors". Enforcers are the Omnichannel's version of Team Xero grunts. Some Tuxemon research is done at Omnichannel, but most is outsourced.
Team Xero/Xero Institute for Tuxemon Research
The Xero Institute was created by Martin Xero (a former member of the Omnichannel "board of directors") right before Kane came to power. When consolidating power, Kane left the Xero Institute intact as they helped with researching Tuxemon weaknesses. Due to this, the Xero Institute retained a bit of autonomy from Omnichannel.
Martin Xero was purged when it was found out he was saving Tuxemon instead of helping to kill them off. Misa created Team Xero from some of her friends within the Xero Institute right after her Father was purged by Kane. Slowly it grew until Team Xero encompassed all of the Xero Institute. The Xero Institute is the only branch of Omnichannel allowed to breed new Tuxemon without getting approved by the "board of directors" (which never happens).
