Oreleaf City Review:
May want to rename it to a town, seems too rural and empty to be labelled as a city. If you really want it to be a city though, maybe make it bigger to feel more like one? Other than that, I'm curious as to what will be in it NPC wise as I feel that the map is too small (again, labelling it as a city is affecting this review perhaps unfairly) for more than a handful of NPCs. Just on map structure though, it's simple and effective. One thing I did notice is that the standard grass tile is the same one. In the base Firered, it looks more interesting than one tile as it is in fact 4 or 5 in a pattern that looks "random" but isn't. Maybe use these varieties of the ground tiles a bit to not make it look repetitive? Nothing else noticeable about it.
tl;dr: It's a bit small for a city, and maybe use different variations of the ground tile to make it more special I think.

Route 6 Review:
I REALLY like maps that have this structure, it's condensed and "natural" of sorts, yet also playable and maybe even fun in game. My only really big issue is the river, I feel that it is quite narrow but... That actually isn't that bad either. That little house is bugging me though, it's going to be a small map inside that or stairs I assume? It feels like even in this case, it could be a tad bigger but that depends on it's true purpose. I'm also not a fan of the random fence in between the rows of trees to the left, maybe replace this with the occasional thin tree instead to block off the path?
tl;dr: Nice and natural, condensed yet looks fun. River quite narrow but works. Little house and that fence are 2 outliers to me. Also, same as above map, use the variety of ground tiles that Firered has by default a bit but not as noticeable here.

Review: Big, empty, square. I feel like this is an outline of a map more than the finished thing. Too much grass makes it look annoying to walk through due to encounter rates, the random mountain to the right is kinda square an... Not visually appealing. The whole map could be improved, with perhaps a path through now and then, like the vanilla games or the higher rated map above, in order to give some "saving areas" within the grass and provide direction. The basic outline of the map is there, and if you build upon it to make it more visually appealing to players, it could be something special.
tl;dr: Not visually appealing yet, but the outline of the map is fine. Mountain and wild grass is the biggest offenders here. Add paths/something for the player to get a break on.
