Some sort of Route. Request maps too!

It's okay. I like it, but I have some critiques about it. The first tree on the left shouldn't be on pavement, just the idea of a tree not being surrounded by concrete. The bridge's background color doesn't adapt to the water below, looks like there something directly underneath the structure. One last thing is the placement of the ledges. The way their set up, no one could jump them because their too close together.

I guess that's enough from me :D. I hope this does discourage you, but encourage you to do better with future maps.

The positioning looks like a 7 year old made got some tiles and placed them randomly. If you want to improve I suggest the following:

1. Look at routes in the official games and see how everything is layed out.
2. Where there is no wild grass, add the red flowers. This can help the map seem less empty.
3. Wild grass patches usually have more random elements to them. Leave a blank patch inbetween each section now and again.
4. Never place the small ledges that close together.

Hope you can improve. :)

Yeah, the ledges. PWO's map editor has horrible layering, so you can't revert mistakes made on the collision layer to a base layer. Also, the tall grass thing, I make sure to wrap the main path for plenty of opportunities to get a wild Pokémon. I also put anything that can be walked on on the base layer.

Short north-south route with a connection and a place to get an item. Possibly a TM or HM.
(sorry about the double-post, but this can qualify as a bump. xD)

I like the transfer from pavement to dirt road. The left side of the map looks rather dull, no turns or obstacles, just a straight route. Better job with the grass placement, but it still seems like it's boxed in. Anyways, fair map overall. Awaiting your next map, but no need to rush.

(There's no grass because there's a cave on this route)
The extension to the north-south route in my last post, this has a cave, another junction, and a rural Pokémon Center. Tell me what you think!

Oh, I really like this one. I like the way you put those mountains together. Dirt could be a bit more varied, but no biggie. Good job.

The mountains are simplistic, yet not bad. However the road looks just messy. The transition for the white stone to the dirt road looks bad and the whole sand patches mixed with white and dirt at the bottom left just looks awful. I really would strongly recommend downloading RPGXP, it's so much better and I'm sure the keygens are easy enough to find on the net.

The first floor of the aforementioned cave. It has five floors!

The thing with that is that I have teh Dial-up, and 29.5 MB would be a pain in the ass to download if it even finished. (Sorry for language, it's an expression) And my dialup isn't even normal dialup, it's half-speed.
