Rating: 6/10
Reason: Lots of empty space, and there are tile errors throughout the map, (the rock for instance)

Now, my starting town.

Comments: This is not being inserted anywhere, so anyone can have this. I think I perfected this with the shadows, and the accurate block edits (first time for me! ^_^) also, notice the slight palette changes.

It is as big as pallet town, and is the starter town. And how is it plain? Because I used normal FR tiles?

Hmm... I guess it's not a great map, I think it is a map.
It is kinda square... The mountains form is like too symetrical and how are you suposed to enter to a cave and then exit and have surf, unless you do a script...
Bad use of paths, and not many flowers and the grass there are only 4 tiles with it.
There are many tile errors...
The ship is supposed to go thru the cave, or what?
Hmmm...
Good try, but try improving it a little bit more...
5/10

That can be easily made with not a lot of effort. :\
It's too square and empty dude.
Try searching this thread, and look at some maps made by Disturbed, Neti, or Austinia.
0/10~
(PS: Sorry if I was too harsh.)
(PSS: Make sure to turn off the grid before posting a map. ;P)

As Wind~ said, it's pretty bland and really really empty. No offence, but it's bad. Sorry, but I don't even really know how to start to fix it... x.x
Encase it in a border and make a path...or just restart completely and choose a different map size, as well as a new tileset. DP is absolutely horrendous in my eyes.
Also, that mountain looks kinda pointless and...well, there's hardly anything, really. Sorry if I sound harsh.
You know, you should just try and map like RSE or the Sevii Islands until you start to develop your own style.

I have a few maps i would like to be rated.

All are on Leaf Green Version and credits go to Lu-ho poke for advance map and credits to me for designing the maps. All made from scratch.

Name: Shone Province
This one connects to Viridian city's right side and connects to another one of my maps at the top.
Spoiler:


Name: Auroros Cavern Entrance
Connects to Shone Province's top part.
Spoiler:


Name:Auroros Cavern
The Lugia CAN actually be challenged and fought just like in Navel Rock and like any other legendary, it will run if you kill it. Originally designed as a shrine for Suicune. The lines means connect the entrance with the place it goes to.
Spoiler:


Name: Quadrona Village
Still working on more houses but probably won;t add any more. The lines means connect the entrance with the place it goes to. The three Deoxys forms are only statues. The name of the cavern included is the Shigari Ruins.
Spoiler:


Name:Riverveil Stead
I keep seeing rivers in other maps so I decided to base one on a river. Very quaint village. No connections so far.
Spoiler:

Learn how to map. Please. D:
3/10 for all of those maps.
 
Ok this is my 2nd map

Name: Route something
Rom: FR
Comments: I will not insert new tiles so don't rate on tiles.

The clickable thumb does not work so it is in a spoiler.

NOTE be warned it is wide

Alright...
First always take screen when grid is off! (if you don't know how ctrl + G) Ooh and try to save it as .png ;) looks nicer.
Now my comment:
Alright you should try to make some path's and make an good border, also try not randomly place a tree here and there it makes it look very empty because if you place only 1 tree in a open spot it makes it look sad, lolz, try to make it atleast 2 or if you want to place one make it next to something :)
Now about the mountain, well try to make it more "curvy" with that I mean that you should make the edge more less straight XD But I don't know why you put such a big mountain in the map it takes a to big surface.. That's all I think...
My rating: NONE I want to rate it when you make an revision of it and change all the map with the comments given by people :) Well BOL ;)

Reason: The shape is great! But you have too much empty space in this map. If you want to do tree shadows, you gotta do 'em right, or else just don't do them at all.



Now for a route!
Connections are Up, right, and down and left!

Map Name: Phoenix Island
Hack of: FireRed

I revived the Pokémon Copper hack I started about a year ago. And now I'm redoing it from scratch.

Now I don't really care about the rating but, I really want to know if there are any mapping errors. I know there is a tiny land/sea border thing under the bridge but I (sorta) re-did it for now.

This is your starter town, and I know the only wat to get out is to surf but did not say anything with the starter Pokémon you're going to get. :D By the way, that is not a gym-its the lab. And that house, its an apartment of you and your rival's. It is t-storming so thats why there a puddles.

Hmm it has some mapping errors like the wooden walk thing the connection between that and the land isn't good.. the border of the sand and the water on the left and right is wrong... but besides that it is an reasanoble map (dunno if I spelled it right XD)
