FireRed hack: Pokémon Lost Gold ( The next Chapter )

[Lord Varion]

3 criticisms: 1: You still haven't learnt tile inserting, despite my offer to teach you? Don't rely on that ROM Base, as the pallettes look kinda iffy on it. Especially the wild grass. It doesn't fit the overall theme of the rest of the tiles, no matter what you will replace them with.

2.

The mountain edges here defy physics, especially the ones with the stairs. Look carefully at where they join at the North and South, it looks wrong, and is physically wrong.

3.

Wrong tree base on some of them (check all the green ones, you put the yellow base on them!)

Oh, and TRY to add new things. You may say it isn't a GSC remake, but from the screenies at the tope, it is hard to see it NOT being a remake, so maybe update them with NEW things. This screenshot and description makes it seem like a GSC remake:

Silver script(sprite needed)

It was orginally going to be a remake
but then i realised it wouldnt be unique so
its not a reamke
No KANTO
Just JOHTO AND HOENN

 

[Lord Varion]

Hey NEW UPDATES ABOVE

and

Should i make it so you can battle Brendan at that part of the game?
or just a friendly hello

Right, firstly...
If this is not a remake, you still should try and stick to the Pokemon Story. RSE takes place at the same time as FRLG/RBY, therefore Brendan completed his journey three years before Gold started his. If this isn't a remake and you're going to include Brendan, you'd be better off making a new player/hero altogether.
I don't think you should battle Brendan there, since he's moving to Hoenn, he shouldn't be battled until you go to Hoenn. (Obviously what you're trying to do to be original is replace Kanto with Hoenn, so as the "Epic Battle" of the game, you should battle Brendan at the end). Create new heros, and a new Johto Rival- let Brendan be a friend.
Anyway, secondly...
Above, you admitted to basing the New Bark map off the Shiny Gold one- and that you've now edited it.
I now know why- sorry to say, but you really need to work on mapping. You're trying to impress everyone with what's included in the hack, but.. It's nothing that special, to be honest.
(btw, that Cianwood map, and the Route next to New Bark, they're both from Shiny Gold, I'm pretty sure). There is a huge contrast in the mapping styles of the New Bark, Route, and Cianwood map, and Joenn Path's map- which is obviously the only map you've done yourself.
1. The Joenn Path map is too straight. Route's need to have a bit more.. Twists and such. Add some trees, too. But, read on...
2. As someone has said, the mountain placement is not physically possible- they're joining up incorrectly, you need to add more layers, etc.
3. Make the whole thing twice, if not three times as long. It's joining Johto and Hoenn, and it shouldn't be properly accessible until you've got the 8th badge. Look at Tojoh falls/the Kanto Route that leads to Johto. You can surf across to Kanto when you've got the fourth badge, but you can't go any further til you get Waterfall, and beat Claire.
From you're map, Hoenn is fully accessible to the Player when they reach Cianwood. Ok, so what you need to do is..
1. Make that map a lot longer. Seriously, go nuts here.
2. Add the need to use a few HMs, with perhaps a Waterfall at the end of the route or something, to stop the Player from being able to get too close to Hoenn early in the game.
3. Add some more trees, and fix up the mountain placement.
(I highly recommend you read a mapping tutorial, and think before you map. You don't seem to understand how to use certain tiles, and that can result in bad, illogical maps like Joenn Path here).
Sorry for the long post, and I hope I didn't offend you or your work here (but seriously... Ditch the Shiny Gold maps, man. Try harder to be original).

Like i said earlier i have NOT copied Shiny golds maps
I have look at them and made them on my ROM i have a few changes and i made that CIANWOOD CITY and ROUTE 29 myself!


2. the goin to hoenn there will be a new map soon with waterfalls in and such and a gaurd not letting you through without CLAIRE's LETTER
wich you cannot receive without defeating clair and goin to dragon's den

3. If you notice there are some differences between my maps and shiny golds maps

Eg all me maps are goin to be connected
shiny golds ARE NOT

And last but not least
HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT BRENDANS ADVENTURE TOOK PLACE AT THE SAME
TIME AS RBY

apart from that thanks for critism

New updates:
New bark

Cherry grove

Route 30

Route 31

and voilet city!!! (based on hgss style)

All made from scratch :D

 

[Banjora Marxvile]

Border Block Error behind the Lab, may want to look at that. Also, by switching the doors, you created a tile error.

Both of these maps are VERY annoying with their 1 tile thin gaps, annoying many players endlessly (especially in the route!). Also, the wild Pokemon grass pallette needs fixing. Like I said, don't rely on ROM Bases, try editing them.

 

[Lord Varion]

Umm... ok
thanks
but how does new doors create tile errors ? O.o

And i am trying to insert new grass to match the pallete but better
and Thanks for telling me ^_^

 

[Banjora Marxvile]

It just looks wrong to me. Perhaps it doesn't create errors, but it doesn't suit the houses to me... Perhaps changing the pallettes of the doors to fit the houses. But, it is your hack.

 

[Lord Varion]

hmmm....I may palette change the doooors ^_^

 

[Lord Varion]

UPDATE AGAIN
I have got from my Co-MApper SWIFTSIGN
The ne ilex forest
Woop!Woop!

Made by him from scratch
Looks better than the orginal

 

[NotoriouzElmo]

ilex forest looks really good! will u be trying to add the same thing that hg/ss did with the farfetched moving around or will u insert sumthin new ?

 

[Mana1]

Looks like you haven't fully converted the map I gave you to fit the ROM base, there are quite a few errors that need to be fixed by block editing ~

 

[Lord Varion]

To SWIFT SIGN yes i will do that

And other guy
there will be no farfetch'd
There will be your rival attacking a man
you defeat your rival and heal the man back to health^^

 

[Lord Varion]

[Banjora Marxvile]

The sand path tile has a dodgy edge. You may want to fix that as soon as possible, as it looks... Ugly.
