Update: See below. Obviously some big changes here. In order to make the transition into the higher elevation smoother, I completely changed the design of the Nugget bridge itself. The result is something that looks better when abutted against both rock and water while still having the...

Ultimately, I think my long term goal is to create an expanded Kanto experience using something like the Unnamed FireRed 721 Project as a Rombase to bring in the full Pokedex currently in existence. There's no way for the existing Kanto map to sustain that many pokemon and still be, you know...

Agreed 100%. For this first experiment my goal was to just see how I can expand the area in a very basic way, as well as figure out how best to build elevation, something that Fire Red doesn't have a lot of good examples at. The next step that I'm working on now is outlined somewhat in the...

It's a start!

Is there some kind of resource in existence that shows all the tilesets in FireRed? I'm new to map making and knowing what is in each tile-set would be a huge help to my training.

God yes, Route 119 (and 120) are my favorite areas in any Pokemon game thanks to their use of versatility and how they manage to be very big without being tedious. Traversing those routes to me felt like truly epic journies that I've love to recapture and deploy in a Kanto hack.

I appreciate that! I didn't realize that I had the wrong tiles on the large rock formation on the right side of the map. In my defense, the ledge errors you point out at the top of the map are actually from the original files. I don't think they are errors, I think that's how FireRed visualizes...

This is my first attempt at map editing using Advance Maps. Since my test file just beat Misty, I decided to begin with Route 24, as it (conceptually) is an interesting area that isn't very well realized in FireRed, compared to what it could be. Most obviously, I've increased the elevation...

The only really good way to pull something like this off is to have multiple potential romantic interests that you can woo at your discretion, Harvest Moon style. Locking it into one character would be very limiting for a game where the idea is "this is your adventure." Done correctly it could...

Couple other things to consider: 1.) Fire/Water/Grass works amazingly well because each of those types resists the type that it is offensively strong against, and each type is also resistant to itself. I'm not aware of any other triangles that function quite so perfectly.' 2.) Fire/Water/Grass...

One of the complaints that crop up when people bring Gen 4 and 5 Pokemon into FireRed is that Kanto simply isn't big enough. The routes are all too short, or it doesn't have enough, or in some way it not built to sustain that many Pokemon (though to be fair, what Region is?) Some hacks try to...

I stopped playing Glazed because I just couldn't jive with the main character talking. For that matter, too much talking in general feels sort of self-indulgent. Brevity is the soul of wit, after all.

I'm extremely excited for this as well. Any progress since the last post?
