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!

Thanks for the kind words Neti. I guess I could expand on route 2 a bit. It's basically only there to serve as an event spot and an entrance to the cave. But that's no reason the route itself shouldn't be nice to walk in.

I'm also considering removing the fences+roads, they're only there to mark the transition, but ingame they look a bit off.

Also, don't know if this is the right place to ask it, but I'll give it a shot: does anyone know of a nice rombase for FireRed which has wooden houses and a nice foresty look to it? Thanks.
 
Haven't had a map here in a while.
Well, here it is:
[PokeCommunity.com] Map Rating/Review Thread

Map name:Wave Town
ROM name:FireRed
ROM base maker:CheesePeow
Comments:The double lake is for one reason.
1 is for people and the other is said to have Kyogre sleep at the bottom.
They call it Kyogre's Pond.(It's deeper than the other)
Plz rate and comment.

EDIT:
In the comments, it was actually supposed to be a double Pond.
So I'll post this with the double pond if I get a rate or two.
 
does that map has a connection map towards directions right and up?
If it doesn't have a connection map direction up, then you could spot a border error.

anyways...
RATING: 7/10
REASON: I like the map's simplicity, though I'm confused if it's eeither a town or a route...
SUGGESTION: Remove those ledges for they're annoying in the eyes... :\ Also, fix the tree on the top-most part of the map if there's no map connection towards north.
 
I shall do so.
I got confused if I made the top tree how it is like the rest on the top and on the bottom for the route, if it would show an empty gap when I test it.
Also, it's just a two-housed town.

EDIT:
Here's the re-made Wave Town:

Plz rate/comment.

Rating: 7.5/10
Reason: I like what you have done with this town, everything is even and looks very peaceful. It's an above average map.
Suggestion: Make the lake at the bottom one lake, remove the fence and replace it with trees or Fence/tree pieces.
 
OK, here it is:
[PokeCommunity.com] Map Rating/Review Thread

DJG-There r 2 lakes for a reason like i said in a previous post, 1 is 4 swimming and 1 is for Kyogre.
Hope u like it.
 
that looks so much better now.

RATINGS: 9/10
REASON: The map is really nice now.
SUGGESTION: I suggest that there should be a map connection down south or else another borderblock will occur...

The reason why I didn't like the second edited map is because the lakes are very close to each other and by nature, those two will overflow and will turn out to be one big lake.

i think this post was quite senseless^^

well anyway heres another map of me:

Map Name: SILVER VALLEY
Hack: Pokemon Flame of Rage
Map Image:
*image removed*
Comments: Actually none...
Click to expand...
Rating: 9.5/10
Reason: They mountainious valley looks awesome! It's very complicated and has good use of the mountain tiles, just the way I like it. The pathways leading to the valley and to the next route looks great. I like the way you placed all the buildings and houses especially the gym. It looks like an original map, with added goodness and sweetness.
I also like the way you placed the trees, neat!
Suggestions: I have nothing to say -_-
 
okay its my turn again.
this time it is a world map.
it is for pokemon radiant sun.
Spoiler:

comments: It looks like there are too many uninhabited islands.

it looks really nice to me. i like the pallette and the way you placed the towns. the different colored water shouldnt be in a circle like that, and maybe you should divide the main island into two isslands, that would look even more interesting.
rating: 8/10
suggestions: see above
 
This is a map for... Uh... a town... It's my first proper map so... yeah.

Yeah, It is a BIT empty, so I will add a path. I just haven't gotten round to it. :D
 

Map Name: Concept Town Two

Map Game: Firered, with CheesePeow's Rombase

Comments: Nothing really very fancy, just the first town from the hack I'm working on. It's "supposed" to be a remap of Pallet according to the Anime. Unfortunately, I can't get a subjective reply up in my thread.

Map Name: Concept Route Three

Map Game: Firered, with CheesePeow's Rombase

Comments: You guessed it, this one is a "remake" of Route One according to the Anime.

Map: [PokeCommunity.com] Map Rating/Review Thread

Anyway, if someone could break down exactly why they do and don't like about these maps, that would be grand.

It's... nice...
It's really like the anime and... well... hard to comment on.
My eyes hurt because of the brightness but... It's mainly good.
It is a bit hard to make the rest of the forest because the anime is well... Not very explanatory.
I like the lake... and...uhm... well... all of it.... xD
Rain...! On Route 1 weather... :D... Well, you know that already I guess...
8/10

First map:
Rating: 8.5/10
Reason: Oh it's a very nice remake of pallete town. I love the palletes and tiles, the map is also very good. I like the way you used the trees and the mountain tiles, they're placed in a very nice way. The river in the middle of the map also looks very good. The way you placed the lab on the top, looks nice. So does everything else.
Suggestions: I could see a few (only 1) error, so you better fix it up.

Second map
Rating: 9/10
Reason: I love these complicated route maps, especially this one in particular. The trees are placed in a very nice way, and it makes the map look better. The way you used the mountain tiles looks also good. I like the stairs/ladders leading you down, very nice! The ledges are also used in a nice way.
Suggestions: Don't put a different tree below a tree, place the same type of tree. The base of the trees look different.

ok, first its really good that you didnt make a square map, the shape is really nice. you also used the mountains in a very good way. at some place they appear a bit straight to me but theyre good all in all. as you already said the map is a bt empty, do add the path like you said and also add trees (small and big ones), bushes, flowers and rocks to the town, but dont overdo it.
the ledges at the gym seem a bit senseless to me and they look strange anyway. you could place another building there.
anyway, you should place more buildings in this town. not all of them have to have a door, but a it would make more sense if there were more houses.
the house in the upper right corner was anice idea though, but still it looks kinda funny... you should thin kabout using other tiles or making your own ones to build a bigger house.
rating: 7/10
suggestions if you put more stuff in it i would give yyou a 8/10. and also think of the other advices i gave you. and dont post another map here where you say "t is not complete, ill add a path..." and so on. pleas epost it again when you finished it, i think it will look great then
