Still hoping for a lengthy review.

I can't give you a lengthy review but I will say a few things that I don't like about this map:
• Too much unplayable space (e.g., the diagonal part of the 'R' and the giant sections of trees to the north)
• No shadow under the bridge D:
• Empty water
• Only one tile to move through in the grassy section in the south-western corner
• The fact that the player climbs two levels of mountains at a time (i.e., a stair tile directly on top of another)
• A whole slew of tile errors along the western edge of the river

Well, that's all I can really think of 'cause it's a pretty darn good map. I like the paths (especially the way it dribbles over the ledge). Nice map =)

Ninja caterpie's map: i give it a 9/10 because it looks like you kept the indigo plato oval at the same area, as well as some other circles.

Wat.

I made the map from scratch...

Pretty good world map. The only things I don't like are the tiny islands, and the fact that the city in the upper left corner is a bit too far up (unless that's where you have the League and the top half is for that, but otherwise, I think you should move it down one tile.

Eh, trying to go Emerald with the Islands, but I can fix those up.

Oh, no, the league is on that far right island up the top. I guess it looks a bit weird, but I just moved the path down and ceebs'd to move the city.

Those may look like 12345's, but I ripped them myself.
Oya, you have to use Flash in the cave.

All is good, minus the bluegreen path that is. It stands out too much, maybe try editing the palette to slightly lighter shade? There's a bit of un-needed emptiness but it doesn't look too bad.

First of all, are you the Forgotten Memory?
Also, you weren't supposed to rate based on the tiles, but I guess you probably already know that.
By the way, the tiles were made by Nintendo in Pokemon HG/SS and I just ripped them and the pallete.
Also, I need some empty space for an event.
Thanks for rating it, though!

Common misconception.

Looky here:
Spoiler:

The lower tile has a rounded tip which should be used whenever the river snakes to the left or right while the upper tile is simply straight. They are not interchangeable.

Yes but it still looks fine, a tile error is something highly noticeable~

"The"? lol
Yeah, but still they could use a lighter tone, js. :(
And I had no idea about the space so yeah, it's just right then!
 
Need a rating on this, as well as criticism. Last one was a perfect, which didn't help at all:

Right, I love mapping caves now...

Name: Rockfall Cave
ROM: Ruby

Notes: I hate mapping, but I like mapping Caves. It was originally a bit different, but now it is like this, so... Consider this the revised map, in a way.

Simple and small. It's a bit plain though...maybe like a dirt path or something that could give the ground a bit more attention (blue). And the maybe close up some unnecessary gaps (yellow), though it doesn't' really matter because the player won't really see them; but still.. XD;

8/10

I don't think he should close those gaps, it makes the map look more natural
 
Two worldmaps. Both are for my hack. The top map is Johto and the bottom map is my own region. I've done it in HG/SS Style with a bit of my own style.

Awesome!
Someone actually using my Rombase... I can see you replaced the grass tiles.

For some map rating..
Mountain Placing - Excellent
Trees - Excellent
Water - Good
Buildings - The Pokecenter is way too tall (not meant to be like that)

Altogether it is beutiful and playable. 9.7/10

Those custom tiles really don't blend well with standard R/S/E tiles, both in terms of style and palettes.

Because I can't be bothered to spend too much time on this, I'll just make another list:
• Mountains are good for the most part but the southern mountains are iffy
• Path is a little too squiggly for my tastes
• Tall grass in towns/cities is generally avoided
• The clash of tiles is irritating
• imho, too many rocks on the mountains
• A lot of the map is unused
• The town itself feels a little too cramped. Why not use all that unused space to give the player more room to breath?
• Did I already mention that the tiles don't go together well?

Change the tiles and fix up a few issues here and there and you've got yourself a very nice map.
 
Here i am gonna present the map i am using for my hack to get people opinion on them.

Base:Fire Red
