Map Name: Route 23 (Above Water)
Tool Used: RPGXP
Map shot:
Credits: I found the GSC tileset in Mortenkein's Pokémon Resources, which was part of another pack I downloaded. I have, however, added a few tileset additions, as the tileset was incomplete (None really noticeable in this map)
Additional Comments: Well, I made this map for my game Inferno Red, which takes place 1-2 years before the events of GSC. The original problem with making the map was that there were no GSC Version of the Route 23 tiles (Victory Road Gate). So, I had no map to base it off of - RBY OR GSC. Thats when I needed to find a way to improvise the map design. First thing I had to do was come up with the theory of what happened to it, which stemmed into a small backstory (See below). And from that, this map was made.
Backstory: It's been nearly 1.5 years since Red has started his journey from Pallet Town, and he's just about done with the Kanto League. Just as he's rounding his way to Cinnabar Island, an earthquake shakes Kanto. It has seemingly no effect, except for one spot that nobody really visits unless for a specific reason - Route 23, the Victory Road Gate. The earthquake cracked open a nearby dam, and instantly water came pouring out, flooding the southern half of the route. The earthquake had other repercussions; On the same route, it caused a rock slide to occur atop Victory Road, effectively blocking off the exit - both inside and outside. Thankfully, there were no casualties, and everyone was safely evacuated. Now the route goes through constant heavy rain, and bold trainers from all across the Kanto and Johto region have come to see the wreckage of the route which'd lead them to their destiny.
