-cracks knuckles- Lets do this.

Route 501: The map is not square and I cannot see any tile errors. The map is very boring though. Try to spruce it up a bit.

Vardon Town: The map is a bit square. The path tile is hard on the eyes. I do not like how still and bright the water is. The buildings look nice, though.

Route 502: I love the idea for this route. I see a few problems, though. The player has no way to get back to where they came from. There is a lot more grass than is needed and the grass is probably the squarest thing I have ever seen on any map. Fix those things up and you will have a great route!

Dampwood City: A bit square. I still do not like the water tile. Not much else to say about this map. There is something about it that I really do not like. I can't put my finger on it.

Rockbeach City: Very sqaure. I do not like the water tiles at all, as I have already stated. I really do not like that pool of water at the very top. It looks awkwardly placed. Otherwise, this map looks pretty good. Only other thing I can say is to not make the buildings so perfectly aligned.

actually there is a way to get back on route 502, just not the way you came from.

and maybe i'm speaking from a realistic point of view, but aren't buildings supposed to be alligned?

But thanks for the tips. maybe i'll post more of my maps later so I can get some more help.

Route 505 would be a nightmare for the player with all that grass.
Make sure to tell the player to bring some repels with them on the trip.

I see. Still, it wouldn't hurt for you to make a small ledge you could jump on to get back. It would suck if you forgot to do something and you remembered what it was as soon as you jumped over that last ledge. You would have to trek all the way around. No problem, man. Just PM me maps if you want. Remember, the less maps you send me, the more in-detail I can rate them.

Do you know how many maps you are talking here? If you have the motivation to map that many then by all means go ahead but you are going to have to be seriously dedicated.

Anyway, I think it looks great. I don't see anything wrong with it.

Game: None, just a test of mapping style
Other Comments: None really, except that there are just a few parts missing and a few tile errors. I just want to know about the mapping style in general. Oh, and JPEG'd to prevent theft.

Rating: 9/10

Reason: The graphics are really 10/10. I haven't seen tiles like those in about a year (other then your screenshot). If you made your own NPCs in that style (which I'm kinda guessing you will given the size of each tile) that is going to made for some amazing eye candy. The pint was dropped because of the road/path. I would of like to have seen the path surround the middle section. You might thing it would make the map look square, but I think squaring off the path would fit right with the feel of the graphics and the feel of this map that it's a city (it is a city right? lol). If this was a city, the paths would loop and break off rather then end....

Suggestions: Ehhh- why is this put here when you could write your suggestions in the reason header? You would give a suggestion per say with the reason anyways even if you didn't go into detail- [random comment on a random map]eg. "I don't like the flowers in the top left" - ehhhhh, to anyone with a brain, the suggestion is implied- remove the flowers or edit them.... DUUUUUUUHHHHHHHH!
(I know this thread template was taken from somewhere else, so I'm not "having a go" at whoever started the thread as you all like to accuse lately.... I'm merely providing a ........ suggestion.... haha).

aww man this is HUGEEE :knockedou if you want the game to be long maybe you should try thinking about adding lots of repeative events and multiple goals/"quests" because travelling all the time will be, umm, quite frustrating? maybe?

Just some ideas because what you are planning to do doesn't sound right to me

Will give it a 9.5/10. Really good looking, can't describe the awesomeness but there's one flaw, it doesn't feel like pokemon.. I mean like the pokemon overworld, but that's just how I see it.

1. Go into Layer 3 (that doesn't have lines, but the lower layers are dimmed).

2. Go into the View menu and untick "Dim Other Layers" (or press F4).

3. ???

4. Screenshots!

Map Name: Gemeral County

Map Editor: paint

Comments: This is a Region Map for the Gemereal County, which is in Pokemon Ladiene (thread in the P+SI Section). Just Like Neo-Dragon, I decided to section my game into counties (although he has states, but whatever). This is the county in which you start, annd.. it might seem a but small but *hint hint* in the desert it is much cooler underground. ; )


hope you like it.

EDIT:oh yeah, also this is just the first draft revisions will be made..

Wow. I love this map. I can see nothing wrong, it has excellent playability, and it looks like there will be other things to do if you come back later (which I like). It doesn't force the player to go through too much grass, and you can go off the path, for items, presumably (which I also like). The tiles are very nice also and go perfectly with that style of map. 10/10.
