Its been awhile but here are a couple of maps~

Map Name: ??? Town
Game: Fire Red

Spoiler:

Map Name: ???
Game: Fire Red

Spoiler:

Map 1...
COMMENT: It's a good map but the lack of trees make it look unpleasing...
RATING: 6/10
SUGGESTION: Add some trees, but if you do, the route would be narrower... Maybe increasing the map size so that you can add some trees around? It is your style, anyways...

Map 2...
COMMENT: The route is nice.
RATING: 7/10
SUGGESTION: Does it have a connection directed right? If not, then you might need to test that map. The borders might cut the mountain edges on the top-right parts of the map...

Endigo Port City:

Reason for scarce trees on bottom left and right is because it is unreachable to get there. No surfing :P

Spoiler:

Put it inside the spoiler if your map's too big.
COMMENT: The palletes of the city are too strong... The buildings don't stand out much.
RATING: 5/10
SUGGESTION: Maybe remove some unneeded cemented 'hills'...?

1.Map Name: New Pallet Town
Map Game: Pokemon GOLD VERSION
Comments: This Is Pallet Town 8 Years After Ash Left On His Adventure... So It's Two Years Ago..... ya....

COMMENT: The houses don't look right...
RATING: 5/10
SUGGESTION: Probably use proper tiles? The houses you used looked like a house is standing on top of another house...

Some maps...

The colours link the levels, btw.

More of that test Jonny Chleevas is giving me. He already knows I'm good, now he's just seeing what I'm better at.

I'm just linking them so you can see them easier (if you're using Chrome like I am).

Cave...
COMMENT: It is a nice cave map, though I spotted a misused tile there...
RATING: 7/10
SUGGESTION: Aside that one misused tile there, nothing else needed to be fixed, I guess...


COMMENT: Another nice map, but there's, again, a misplaced tile...
RATING: 7/10
SUGGESTION: Nothing, I guess...

Basement Level...
COMMENT: Another nice cave map, though those coloured dots are irritating to look at. :\ The map is simple, but nice.
RATING: 8/10
SUGGESTION: Nothing, I guess...

Route...
COMMENT: Quite a nice route. :)
RATING: 9/10
SUGGESTION: Nothing...

Um... Here is a starter map I made for a future hack xD

COMMENT: A nice map, but it's too square...
RATING: 5/10

The tiles are good but the map is a lil bit to regular^^ 5/10

RATING: 8/10
SUGGESTION: Maybe change the sand palletes, but it's nice...

NO NAME
Oh yeah, if you can recognize the pallettes PLEASE PM me so I can credit you. I have them for quite some time but can't remember from who. Sry.

Spoiler:

Put it inside the spoiler tags next time if your map's too big.
COMMENT: The map is somewhat average, but a lot of tile errors are spotted, plus the fact that the palletes are way too dark...
RATING: 3/10
SUGGESTION: Change the palletes. And also, try reading some mapping tutorials...

Okay, heres my map..

Okay, heres my map. It's for Pokémon Chromium, a hack I recently restarted. So heres to a fresh start. (Also, this is a map of Pokémon Fire Red)

Seaerry Town

Yes, this "Town" has a Gym, because it's a beginners test. Don't worry what for, just know that it's not a city.. Thanks.

What? What do you mean errors? Can you examplize some of the tile errors?

The mountain. Does the mountain look anything like one in real FR?

Ohno.
I guess you were aiming for a new mapping style, right?
I know you can do better than this.
Also, a small coastline town like this should not be surrounded by deep water. The erosion of the water would collapse the whole town into the deep canyon. Plus, there is no way for small kids to play in such water.
Well, I have to say 4/10.
Also, too straight paths.

Woahh everything looks natrual, the tree placement is really good, the mountains may need abit of work but it looks fine.
Now about the side way stairs, they don't look inserted right.
I'll give this map a 7.5/10.
Good job!:)

There's a move tutor standing there to teach our Pokemon a move.

Well then, why did you rip the pallets and tile sets out of Pokemon Genisus?

Name: Gelato Village
Map of: FireRed

This is the first map I've ever made, appropriately for my new hack. Using AdvanceMap is so easy. :D

Unfortunately, I can't seem to get it right dimension-wise, as it ends up being larger than Pallet Town's actual dimensions. Another problem I have is finding the right border... and the scripts I made not working. =.= Anyway, here it is.

[lil-gimli1]

nice map, a bit empty though,as for the trees and stuff, try adding a few more,

so, i give it a.....
8.5/10

sorry for double post, but i gunna put my map up now :P:P:P

hey,

this is my first map, so don't go off your nut, this is the top of a route that i made for my hack, it is between a foresty town and leading up to a more modern town.

i know there is a missing tile on the tree and that the stairs weren't really needed, i put them in cuz my bro wouldn't stop anoying me until i did it,
:P:P:P

anyway, heres the link to the map

Well, that's certainly an interesting map. It's got more grass than it needs, but it's not too bad overall. It has a forest-maze kind of feel to it, which, in a way, fits your description, but to me it feels like it's lacking something. The stairs aren't too much of a problem, but you can obviously get rid of them later. :D

I'd personally give this map a 6.5/10, and the only thing I could suggest is to make it feel more like a maze. Remove most of those bushes and add more trees, mixing it around a bit until you have something that fits your description perfectly.
