[destinedjagold]

Ratings: 8/10
Reason: I like the new feature of your New Bark Town. It has some originality and that's a good thing!
Questions: Wonder why the Map-Rating Thread's been opened again... :\ Oh well... Is the grass tile(the flooring) has a new pallete colour? It's very lovely.
Suggestions: The only suggestion is to change the tree tiles. :D

The reason it looks like the 3rd town is because it is that town lol.
It's vermilion city in the future, and tat cave you surf into the cave and inside the start of the cave is water so you stay on water and then you surf out, and you should still be surfing. It's like the Team Aqua Hideout in Lilycove city, in R/S/E.

Yeah dw about the cut trees lol i forgot the 1st gym you get to use flash not cut, so there going.
And about them tiles, I dunno the tree and grass came together when i was searching google images, honestly the whole time i've been a member on this site i've never been in Baro's hack thread, im sorry and i will remove those tiles.

Reason: The map is really good and so are the tiles, but there are errors with the ledge and there is a problem with the border.
Suggestions: Don't make the map square, looks wierd, also don't use too many hedges.

Reason/Suggestions: For one, as previously mentioned, the map is too square. Try adding some trees in the corners. Now, the map is also too busy. You put too many flowers and bushes, as well as some of the other ground tiles (the not-normal ones, flowers). Try reducing that amount greatly. Also, instead of editing Pallet Town, try clearing out the entire map and start from scratch. That way, it doesn't feel like a cheap attempt at a hack. There is another problem, and it involves the ledges. Though they are somewhat aesthetically pleasing, they are overhadowed by the floers, and the fact that they are missing the ends. Try adding the ends to the ledges, and removing the flowers. One other problem: the path is broken. By broken, I mean it is not aesthetically pleasing and it is split into pieces, which is a no-no in towns. Try merging them all together. Now, that DP-styled building in the side does not fit with the other tiles, so you might want to try replacing it with something else. That house in the lower-right corner looks pretty bad too, but not in the same sense. It just looks like it was thrown in there. It also has the potential to cause border problems. Now, the clumps of medium-sized trees on the side and bottom are a nice touch, but they should be layed out in a more natural pattern instead of a synthetic formation. For my final statement, I would like to say that the roofs on the regular houses don't really fit, and that custom ones shoiuld be edited in to fit the buildings.
Closing Statements: Maps should not be square, do not use an overabundance of greenery, and make sure it looks natural. By the way, I noticed you used the roof to my old Pokemon Lab. You should credit me for that (or remove it, please). Sorry, I didn't notice your thread.

Reason: Too square, some tile errors, and kind of confusing...
Suggestions: Fill in the corners so it won't be as square. Also, to me, the pallete makes that map look like a color jumbled mess. You need to close the ledges off too.

Rate: 5/10
Reason: Im not feeling this map, the border isnt completed, the houses are to close, there is heaps of extra space, you shoulda used way more paths in the actual town, the gyms roof is to big in height, the width is fine. the flowers down the bottom are bad, i was taught to make flowers ALWAYS diagonally. Thats the only real problems I can see...
Suggestions: Maps to square, shouldnt do that. Dont make the houses so close and use your extra space :D​

Thank for rate my map!Kebbles!

Reason: Sigh, Like it was said before those palettes make the mpa look sloppy, and unpleasing to look at. Most of the grass tiles are Zel's and those brick houses Look...Good! But need touching up. Finally, As said by a few people, add some trees in those corners!
Suggestions: Change some Tiles and some of the palettes, try not to make the map square as a few people said above. Fix the ledges too.

RATINGS: 710
REASON: THAT'S ONE BIG O_O MAP! Well, it looks okay and it does look like Sootopolis from my point of view. :D And nice, a new cave. Wonder what's in there. ^^
SUGGESTION: The white mountain border, when it touches the brown ones, I think the shade should be dark brown instead of grey... I think you should change that to havea perfect-looking map. ;)
Also, like thethethethe satetd below. Fix those bugs.

RATINGS: 6.5/10
REASON: Don't get me wrong, the map looks great, but it's pretty hard to screw up a remake of a map already in a third generation format.
From a gameplay perspective, In such a big town, more houses should be accessible than just one.
There are some errors on the corners of some of the water tiles. If you want me to point them out, just ask. Some of the houses have errors above their windows. They aren't really noticible when looking straight at a map, but in-game you can see them pretty easily.
But I did like the little add-ons, like the grass that isn't accessible until you have surf.

SUGGESTION: Fix up those few little mistakes, and make some more houses more accessible. Like DJG mentioned, the palettes of the mountains, are too far apart color-wise, if you understand what I'm trying to say. One's really bright and stands out while the other, is just dull and pale. They don't really work well together in my opinion.

 

[kebbles]

Hey thanks a bunch guys.
Yeah i will fix up the shadin on the mountains.
And the error above the windows is coz there was doors there, i got rid of them coz im doing one house at a time then making it you can go inside, and so far i've only doing the players house.
So dont worry about the not entering to many houses, and the error on the windows.
And thethethethe is would be great if you could point out the water ledge errors things, will be easier to fix up if i no what to fix up.
Thanks heaps!​
