Map name: Cleia Foothill
Codebase: Pokémon FireRed

Description:
After a tiring adventure on Mt. Cleia, you were expecting another maze on your way to the next city. But, you were pleasantly surprised, this small municipality offers everything a Pokémon trainer would need to rest after an exhausting day. After going to the Pokémon Center, you must sure visit the local shop, it offers exotic goods such as Berry Juice or Lava Cookies - that's something you can't get every day!

It's a simple, but great map.
I like the placement of the paths.
It's small, though.
No tile errors.
Only change the place of the sign box thing.

Fixed. Now...

Description:
After one incident with signpost in the middle of the street (one of trainers who was passing the town had a... accidental close contact... with it), the town council has decided to move the sign out of the way so such things won't happen anymore. Everyone hopes that the trainer is okay and that the big bruise will soon disappear from his face...

Hack Of: Fire Red Version

Comments: I thought I was making this for a hack, but I got another assignment, and I had to drasticly change this, but I diddnt want to lose it, so I saved it, and will use it when It is needed! ^-^

Ratings Please, comments, and especially criticism, I want to become a better mapper, so I need to know what I do wrong, or badly.
Just Re-posting for more ratings. I got flooded out last time

Suggestions: Try removing some of the masses of grass. The mountain dosen't look quite right for some reason. Add some trees, especially towards the right of the map. In the upper right corner, try to make the grass less "clumpy". Fix the tile errors with the little trees.
Rating: 6.5/10
Comments: Good map, not perfect. It's a little square on the right side.

Again, the little ledge is there because you come from the forest.

RATINGS: 8/10
REASONS: It's a cool map, though not very suitable to be called a town, nor can it be called a city. :\ It is more like a route to me, though... :\
But meh, it's a foothill, so it's obviously a route. :D
I like it, simple and neat. :)
SUGGESTIONS: Nothing to suggest...

RATINGS: 7/10
REASONS: For some strange reason, your map made me dizzy... :\
But anyways, the map is nice...
SUGGESTIONS: Nothing to suggest, except for changing the palletes, for R/S/E palletes are kinda hurtful to some eyes, including me. :P

Spoiler:

This map isn't that good. :\
For one, there are tile errors in a ton of places. The place is too square and symmetrical. Also, there is tons of empty spaces.
2/10
Sorry for such a harsh rating.

Comments: Very poorly done map. Look at other's maps, and try to mimic them to a degree.

Rating: 8.5/10
Reason: Nice map. I like the method you've placed the trees and the mountains. The house with 4 windows looks wierd. Everything else looks neat.
Suggestions: Try not to make too thick pathways.

Map Name: Silvermist Town (??)
Hack of: FireRed
Description: Its been quite a while since I posted a map here. I've been working on this for nearly 4 hours now, not the map, the tiles. Almost all by Kyledove a few by Fanking Omega. The starting town for my new hack, The Dragon Lineage. Nothing much of interest really, just wanted some feedback on the tiles.

Sorry that was a pre-mature map heres my real one:

Rating: 1/10
Reason: There are like 40 tile errors throughout the map, there are very few trees, which are symmetrical, it is completely empty, the rocks look completely unrealistic, and it is fully square

Beautiful map!
Rating: 9/10
Reason: Although I love the shape and the great amount of trees used, I think there is too much tall grass in this map. Also, you might want to replace all the one tiled rocks with the four tiled rocks, and maybe add some more cliffs in the distance to set the tone of realistic. Beautiful map nontheless.

There is not much you can improve on in this map besides maybe the shape of the map. It feels too much like nintendo's. I'm also not all about a gym in the first town, but who ever set that rule that starting towns can't be amazing? Maybe you should add more of those tall bushes throughout the map. Great job though.

Reason: A whole line of tile errors at the bottom of the map, the map is completely square, and the trees just disappear. The bushes arent very realistic, and too much tall grass.

just got to say sth about this map cause it gets so many bad ratings:
the layout of the map is really good, i mean that it has two levels so you technically have to walk the whole size of the map twice
but to make that be a plus, you should have grass on the hills

other than that i support the opinion that theres a lot to do
