Reason: It's a great map, I really like it. Its very complicated and well mapped. But there are some negative points. The buildings are too close to each other, some of the buildings look wierd, and you shouldn't really put that lighthouse thingy on the water.
Suggestions: Make the map a little spreaded out and make the buildings not too close to each other. Fix the gym! And it should work out...

why does everybodyy tell me to fix the gym? i dont see whats wrong with it xD
 
i think it looks still ok like this. a bigger gym would overload the city
 
Ooo a pokemon Red map.
Rating : 8/10
Reasons: Its a nice route, but it seems quite empty and you can get from south to north without having to fight a single pokemon. Its pretty empty, so you should add more things and creation to your map.
Suggestions: Try to not make the map empty, and also add some more grass. I think thats about it..

Comments: The map has a good base idea, but it has quite a bit of problems. For one, the blocks of trees are very unnatural and just aren't very pleasing to the eyes. Editing the blocks to put them in a better shape could remedy this. Adding some more could also help. Now, the grass should be much more plentiful. The few patches that you did add are very random, but not in the good way. Grass needs to be an obstacle that the player has to pass through, not just a side area that you go in as you please. Speaking of smaller plants, flowers are not-so-good. There are just too many in this map. You should definitely remove a lot of them. Now, for the shape. The top of the map looks good, but other than that, it is too bland and square. Try adding areas of the cliff that protrude from the side, like a plateau. Adding some ledges aren't a bad idea, either.
Closing Statements: The map is okay. A little on the mediocre side, but just try to fix it. I also did take into account that the map was done on Red Version, but I did not include that as a part of the score.

Rating: 3/10 :S
Reason: Well, what can I say? Its a map full of errors, sorry. First of all, the map is in a square shape, it shouldn't be in a square. the hill tiles are also placed in a wrong way, without the whole hill! You placed too many grass tiles, and you filled the whole map with it. You could've added something else, rather than covering the map with only grass. You could've added pathways, water etc. The hedge dosen't really go with the map, it makes it even more wierd. The pathway inside it also has tile errors. So, sorry.
Suggestions: Well, first of all, you need to make the map less square. Add some more trees, or something else :) The mountains aren't done in a correct way, fix them! Remove the hedge and the grass, and add bundles of other stuff. Good luck!;)

Hi all,

Could you have a look at my maps? They're basically the first maps I've created, so all feedback is appreciated!

Oakwood Labs is the start of my hack's adventure, leading to route 1, which goes to route 2. The routes are quite small, but since this is the beginning area, it won't be too bad.

My whole hack will take place in one giant park, so the scale is a bit smaller. There aren't any villages or towns, but outposts and resting spots. I've always been confused how so many villagers can live in 2 tiny houses...

Also, I've tried to use a rombase from PHO, everything worked like a charm, until I saved and reloaded. The tiles were all messed up, anyone know what might have been the problem?

Cheers,
 
for first maps they are really good, even better then some peoples 10th map...
i dont see any tile errorss there, just in the mountain at the upper left corner on route 1, it is not done right but i think that was wanted by you right?
well i cant find anything bad in this maps except for what i just said and that they are really VERY small^^ Route 1, as first route.. ok, but you cant call route 2 a route! you dont even have to wal kthrrough grass (ok, 1 tile...)
but your maps arent square shaped, not over or underloaded, so i give you
9/10 for the town
9/10 for route 1
and 6/10 for route 2 (sry but you cant call that a route^^ and it doenst have that much features as the other two maps)

keep on mapping, i think with a little more practice and bigger routes youll become a great mapper!
