Maps:

1. Nex
Map name: Route 800
Comments: From a very very old hack of mine but I edited it a little here and there...
Credits: Gaia,Kyledove,Gamefreak,Nex




2. Akiba
Map name: Furthen Path
Comments: I made this back in 2013. My first and last ever map. The hack that contained this map is long gone/dead.
Credits: Two and a half years ago. Don't remember if I even have anyone to credit.




3. ~Ruki!
Map name: Route 2
Comments: A normal route, connect Coudburst City with Everspring City.
Credits: Zeo, Magiscarf, Soloo




4. Tailes
Map name: Route 5
Comments: I wanted to keep it simple, it's an optional route connecting two towns, which is why i went with the urban-y path tiles. Combee and Buneary are common here. That one tile on the top gatehouse entrance doesn't show properly because it's triple-layered.
Credits: The tiles are mostly vanilla FR and EM, signs were made by me.




5. Kroso
Map name: Route 609
Comments: For some odd reason, I feel like this map is missing something but I have no idea what. I tried to add as much decoration as I could, and I think it looks good. Also ignore the tile errors with the trees, need dat triple layer.
Also, I'm well aware of the route only going one way, the cave is the second.

6. GoldenKHRP
Map name: Route 26
Comments: A swamp based route. The player enters the map from the bottom (South). The building in the middle is a research facility, working on some experiments in the swamp. The map will be shrouded in a thick layer of mist.
Credits: Gamefreak for the Fire-Red Rom. Furthermore credits to Alistair and ChaoticCherryCake. ChaoticCherryCake's tileset consist of tiles from multiple mappers. A complete list can be found here:

There are several people you left out of the voting poll like MtArgente,HiroTDK,destinedjagold,Kwstaspaokara,uncommon, and J.B. Is there a reason why they were left out?

From now on, there will only be 7 maps chosen to make it to the voting round. I did that to avoid the winner getting 2 votes.

That makes sense, I can see the need to narrow it down. But how do you decide who moves on? I think just having one person pick is not going to be a great long-term solution if you want to revive this competition. For the record, I'm not upset that my map didn't get picked - I just wish there was more of a process to determine who moves on.

Just to throw out one idea, what if there was a poll to see which ones should move on to voting, and the top 7 vote-getters were then entered in another poll to determine the winner?

Yes. I guess that could work. I'll try it next time!

I accidentally voted for Korso, can my vote be changed to Tailes?

Went for GoldenKHRP's map because Gen 5 graphics rips are overrated af, and the custom tiles I did see didn't stay true to the style of Gen III as much as this map did. This map gets a gold star from me for the effort put into cool and original sprites, to be honest it isn't the greatest map there but it's the one I liked the most so there. haha

Ruki's tiles are the best. I don't know how those diagonal walls would work ingame though. Kroso needs to get proper downstairs tiles, Tailes map is the most creative, but Ruki's tiles are the most beautiful.

And the winner is........Nex!

Congratulations to Nex for winning Octobers Map Making Competition!!!

Next Entry round will start on December 1st!

yay! Thanks guys :)
