I like the map, but the stairs to go down arent the good ones!
 
Not that bad map. But i see alot of errors and paletts are not completly changed as you can see in sand corners are still with orginal colors.

Let's go for another round of mapping checkout:

Celebi_XD(Route2): Good to know more people are into the "sad" palettes as me, but anyway, I'm just here to judge the mapping :P
It certainly looks original, and nice for just being the second route in the game. However, regarding the problem destinedjagold spotted on that map. Just look at all your ledges, they are all either pointing down or right, so we aren't supposed to go from the right to the left, is that the way it should be? In the end, I think you have overused the ledges.
Also, yep, you should create your own "going down" stairs, those you picked don't look that good on the map.
In any case, I like how you used different tiles, and how it seems the map has different "areas" within the same map, just put a bit more of effort into the tile fixing and it will be better.
Rating->9/10

Kristian(have no idea map XD): It is a bit small to be considered a forest, and it should have a bit more of road tiles if it was supposed to be a Route Map, but still, I like how you distibuted the trees and grass around (sounds as if you've been paying attention to Marz' mapping tutorial)
The road at the north is a bit too wide, though.
Rating->7/10

suoert(Violet City): Well, it's a GSC map, so nothing much to comment on mapping (you forgot a signpost close to Sprout's Tower)
I have noticed that probably you have a tiles border problem at the northwest of the map (after the small surfing), am I right?
I would have sticked with the original tiles for the green ground, it looked better than the new one, but at least you have fixed many tiles problems from the past (however, I don't like the palette of the trees, too bright in my opinion)
That's it, as I said it's a GSC map, so mapping something already mapped is not something to show your mapping skills (look who's talking, ah? XD)

And you are right about the pallete, i don't quite like it either.

Ummm i like your maps Kristian;)
The only thing is that the grass look quite scattered,
so it would be best if you put the grass in different places
like in squares or rectangles(gamefreak style)Thats what i do with my maps.
7/10

Ummm first thing: I like the new palletes mate,
they look nice, but i can see some errors on your maps,
like on the trees etc. But in the other hand it looks pretty
good: 7.5/10

Thanks for the advice and comments zel, yes i had a few problems,
with that map(i couldnt find the downstairs tile lol)
And yes i do like sad palletes :D
And thanks for the wonderful rating:) (Am i dreaming?)
 
Shouldn't you give Credit to the original creator of those D/P houses?
The maker is on PHO, can't remember name.

Anyways, I see some errors. I can tell you edited route 1 too, by looking at the way the Grass is positioned.
8/10. Try not to make the Grass in a square shape. The people playing can easily Get past the grass

without batttling wild pokemon. Like I said 8/10

@prof.9: Please don't make a remake, And we all know how ecruteak City looks like. You just changed the tiles.

Be More original. 8/10 also

Here's my map (remake)!

It's Ecruteak City!
It is EXACTLY the same. The only difference is that I use new FRLG tiles.
If you want to compare it with the old version, use these links!

Small note: It IS possible to use this map in a hack. However, you'll need to import a LOT of tiles, and change a whole lot of palettes.

10/10

Even though its just FR tiles you used them to all that they can be used
 
Zoomed x2 in AM, I suppose, then PrintScreen command and cropping in Paint, but IDK. Anyways, I would use different palette colours (more bright green) and roof tiles on the gate building. Maybe the blue house should have a window. Anyways, I see no big map errors at all, except the small trees, you should fix them. I like the map overall, so I give it 7,5/10.
