Map Name: Emeryville

Map Game: Pokémon Fire Red

Comments: This map is a quarter of a huge city that I was working on. The city is composed of four 80x50 (or 50x80, I'm not sure) maps which are connected form a giant metropolis. I have mostly completed the north-east and north-west (this map here) sections but I don't have the other (north-eastern) map available at the moment. And yes, this all uses one tileset

Simply said, that map is amazing. I can't rate down something like this, I could call this a true masterpiece. 10/10, deserved :)

[Pokestick good times.]

In honor of the 4,000th post in this here Map Rating Thread (which sadly went awfully unnoticed), I've decided to post a gallery of several maps that I have been working of as of lately (as well a few that are quite old). Let's get started, shall we?

Map Name: Emeryville

Map Game: Pokémon Fire Red

Comments: This map is a quarter of a huge city that I was working on. The city is composed of four 80x50 (or 50x80, I'm not sure) maps which are connected form a giant metropolis.

Don't feel like you have to rate all of them (I know I wouldn't). Though I'd appreciate it if you took the time to choose at least one to rate. And please, if you are going to rate one, please go into detail about the individual features that you like or dislike. Constructive criticism is always appreciated ^_^

Hm. The first thought thet hits my head when I see this is "how in the name of the Lord, could he fit that into one tileset..."
When I look at it now, and checks all the details and all, it hits me that it's the now heavily edited Celadon City tileset, included an edited Silph. co. buildin', the cinnabar lab, also edited, and the battle tower from RS with the league entrace in the Viridian tileset. Also added is the Pokémon statue and the table thing the fountains on the top are standin' on. And you've managed to fit them in pretty good. Great job, but it comes with (at least) one price: You'll have to spare on the blocks. And I can notice that. The most major error bein' the previously mentioned Silph. co. buildin'. I don't know if you've realized it, but look at the sides of the windows. You'll need more than one block for that, to make it right, and thus please me (just noticed: a similar problem is found on the Celadon market buildin', be careful). And remember to change the behavior on many of a lot of the blocks in the Celadon tileset, as they were made for the cyclin' road, where they work different to make the player cycle downwards *points especially at the cyclin'-road-path under the Siph. co. buildin', the lab, and the tower*.
Onto the actual mappin': There's something that bugs me on the map, and one of the mayor things I think is th fact that there are SO many Enormous buildin's, but the town is built on basicly grass, and more interestin': In a forest. There's no doubt when I look at the map that it's built on what used to be a forest, without really cuttin' down the trees, and that's okay, but with so many large buildin's just thrown between the trees, it looks like they're tents in a travellin' Fun-Fair or something. And not in a good way.
Another thing is that you used SIX different paths. Come on, it's a big place, but be realistic.
You don't have to fit in every single thing that you can think of in this City, even QUARTER of a City. If all these things, Huge buildin's of all kinds, six different paths, a forest, a tower, a lab, three, no five fountains, a lake with a hidden passage behind, what could you POSSIBLY PLAN TO HAVE IN THE OTHER 3/4 OF THIS PLACE???? Just sayin'.
Another small thing that yet annoys me: The supermarket or whatever, has regular Gym-doors. If you look at the regular Celadon... Market thing, you'll see that it uses similar, but slightly modifyed doors, to make sure it has a line separatin' the door from the rest of the buildin'. You can't have erased the door to make place for the other tiles, because I can see the very same door on the three Celadon-big-green houses. It's okay to use the "wrong" door on the market, but it looks odd.

I don't want you to think I can only find bad things here, I LOVE your tree-placement, both small and big, the flower placement is a masterwork, and I like the the overall placin' of the houses, aside from what's mentioned above (you can't miss it XD).

To rate... 7/10, this is a good map but... Just sheck there up there...

EDIT: And hey, the 4000'th post was mine!!!!

Let's see...

Well... Actually, I can't find anything bad about this map. I especially like the Gym, like behind it is lava since the GYM LEADER is a fire type used.

I see one little tile error, and that's on the mini tree that's behind the Pokemon Center, but other than that, pretty good.

9.7/10

I have 3 maps for everybody to rate

#1

Map Name: Vino Town

Map Game: Fire Red

Comments : One day I felt like mapping, and I did! This is paired with one of the other maps below, Quro Village. This might be in a hack I might make, and if it is, It will be the second town

Credit to PunkRocker(I think he's the guy who made this) for the awesome rom base :D

Spoiler:

#2

Map Name: Quro Village

Map Game: Fire Red

Comments : As I said before, this goes with Vino Town. Quro village would be the first town in a hack. It has grass in it because it branches off into route one, and don't worry, someone will stop the player if he\she tries to go out.

Again, credit to PunkRocker for the rombase

Spoiler:

#3

Map Name: Alaway City

Map Game: Fire Red

Comments :This is the 3rd city for a hack I'm making by myself, Pokemon War: Winds of Change. It's not a final name, but It will be released in the scrapbox or progressing hacks(depending if 3 cities is enough to be in the progressing hacks) once I'm 100% finshed scripting the town. And I put the grass in simply becuase it adds the factor of untamed wilderness, which is a big idea of the hack. and I know about the tile error with the path, I had to put that there only becuase it shows the previous route, so please don't rate on that.

Nice job Fan King, you did a nice job on the three maps you presented. I would have to give a high rating 9/10 just for the sake of continued improvement over time. I hope to see more maps from you in the future after seeing your fine work.

Your maps aren't that bad :/ But they're square and you got a lot of mapping- and border errors... The mountains in the right middle of the route... They look a bit weird... Your grass placement is wonderful :>
You didn't see some tiles of the roof from wesleys house right? You missed some... First map: 5/10 Second Map: 4/10

Ohkay,second try.

Map Name:Wesa Town
Game:Fire Red
Comments:It's another starter town attempt.Also,I decided to go with another tileset(Kyledove).The grass and pool behind the fence is for so you can come back around after obtaining some sort of HM and catch starter or rare pokemon.

 

[BlitŻ1]

it's too plain. the path is to big, and the upper right quarter of the map looks naked.

What I suggest is that you cut up the path more and trim it. make it more squiggly(couldn't think of another adjective)

Put more trees around the map and make it look more wild

I give it a 4\10

 

[thethethethe]

I'll do this the proper way.
Map Name: We'll just call it X town.
Map Game: Don't see why this is relevant, but Fire Red.
Comments: None really, I'm just a little bored.

I think you can do much better if you practice, but this is bad, to be completely honest.
The thing that stands out most about this is the fact that the mountains are completely linear. This is the worst thing that you can do for a rocky map like this. The next thing is the fact that the waterfall is funky looking, and so are the ledges next to the waterfall, not to mention that the lake is pretty badly shaped. Just look at cape brink for the correct way to make waterfalls. The houses are pretty small, and there is a lot of empty space. The flowers aren't distributed well, and I really don't mind the trees, except for the three trees right next to each other at the bottom. Lastly, I'm not a fan of where you put the signs and posts either. I won't talk about that little cave spot right there, since I don't know how to rate it. The best thing I can talk about in your map is that it has no tile errors, aside from the waterfalls.
Overall, I would give this map a 5/10.
you are a great scripter thethethethe, but you are a subpar mapper. Sorry if this rating was harsh, but I say it like it is.

Yeah, this is pretty good... Untill you look at the mini triees. When creating min trees in Firered or Leafgreen, you need to use the tiles correctly. Where are the tops of the overylaying trees?

You also used the same grass tile.

7/10
