It's quite possible that some of the links are out of date. I tried the FRLG tileset link, and it takes me to a thread from 2008, so the link might not be working anymore.

Though, Essentials comes with extensive FRLG tilesets already, so you can use those, I would imagine.

Hi, is there a plan to work on anything for gen IV in Pokemon Essentials? I'm planning on making a gen IV sequel and pre-made maps with their corresponding tilesets would be a godsend for me. I will give credit. Also, if not, where would I find something like that?
