Overall, it's a nice looking town!
Some detailed comments:
1) Your start screen is nice too. I like Aurorus and the background. However the Aurorus feels like it has been resized down, hence some "unzooming" border artefacts like this:
Maybe use a different resizing algorithm (it looks like you're using nearest neighbours, maybe use bicubic), or draw the borders yourself?
2) The city is cute too. I like that you put many details, like the boxes and pots, or the Fletchling in the tree ^^
There are a few artefacts though. For example, here:
you miss the border for the lake. Use this:
About the grass, you used the same pattern:
You can vary it:
The following is more a question to others. I had this question when I made my maps. When you use this exit:
should the teleporting events be this far, or further down like this:
?
(I don't have the answer, and the maps included in Essentials don't use this exit)
And finally, I find it strange that there is only one street light? Maybe put more of them (in front of the houses for example).

I'll definitely fix the pond and grass! Didn't notice until now! And I'll place the events back for the exit into the forest. The exit for the forest came with my essentials so not sure what you mean. I'd do more lights if I had ones that faced down. I think the title screen is just a design idea for now, I'd like to do something really nice but I'm new to all of this so I'll try my best :) Changed the pond and grass! Added in one more lamp and I kept the exit to the forest because when testing the change it didn't feel right. :)

Awesome town! Definitely feels cosy and balanced, in the sense that you have put the right number of "things" in it, so it feels non-empty but not overloaded.
I mean, in my version of Essentials, I don't have an example map using this exit, so I cannot see how the events should be placed in relation with this exit ^^

I'm using the Gen 8 project (it's v18.1 + Gen 8 stuff) It's better if you want moves / items / and so on from Gen 8.
Good luck with the rest of your game!
