Its basically some of my originally created maps with the help of PWO map editor.
If you do have some time to spare, please comment on my maps, the areas I need to improve and other unpleasant things you find in these maps.Both of them are routes, I assure you they are originally created by me.Will add more maps as I make them.I know I need the fix the patches in-between the grasses, will update it as soon as possible.
Have a nice day! ^^

hrmm, I think I would cut down on the tall grass a little bit, and try not to make the trees look so linear in position, other than that not bad ;D
-
Well... stephenkill just said what I would have said. There are too much tall grass.
Then, in the first picture, there is a narrow passage there, which seems to be useless since there is a rock blocking the way. It's not usually possible to move those rocks nor break them.
In the second one, there is a rock (at the bottom centre) that can be moved by strength... I don't quite see the use here. Oh, the steps between the higher and lower ground seems weird to me.
-
I love it, it looks great, but i agree with the tall grass also. Maybe put a path into it so if people dont want to battle they dont have to but if they do well go into the grass lol. But also the more grass there is the more challenge so if thats the goal then its fine.
-
I'll try to modify the maps as per your opinions guys.
But I don't agree with the tall grass thing.There has to be tall grass for pokemon.
The smaller trees could be removed.
Thanks for your reply guys! ^^
-

No doubt, tall grass is what makes it a pokemon game. But you have tall grass everywhere. Only allowing small squares to be tall grass-less. t Thats really the only thing thats "wrong".
-
lol, I was bored, so I created this 'screenshot' :-X
I used some tiles from the internet and edited them (like changing the colors).
the only program I used was Photoshop.
It isn't great, but /care ^^
It's a 'city' in the mountains and it hasn't much residents ;P

-
It's nice I would say.
The building at the upper left... I could bet it's the one in RSE in which you enter to take the cable.
Oh, and I find it somewhat funny that the people doesn't seem to be warmly clothed :D
-
this is a great job...and lol @ jerry for noticing the clothes
-
oh, and ameyathed, on the second map, those stairs are backwards, according to the layers of how you tiled it, the little cliff is higher than where the road is , therefore the stairs should be the other way.
-
They are used to the cold? ???
Ghehehe,, even I didn't think 'bout that ;D
However, I'm not an pixel artist, the only thing I can do with sprites is to give them all colors of the rainbow ;P
-
It looks good to me. It's very clean and the theme is constant. It would be great if little pokemon icons were on there, interacting with the people and everything. Keep up the good work.
-
I have to disagree with some people. I think it looks best with the tall grass everywhere. It makes the area looked untouched and more natural. I think if more buildings or signs were added it would ruin the picture... But that's my opinion. I prefer nature maps over city maps.
-

why would buildings be added? It's not a town. And without city maps, you're just a kid living in the wilderness, no gyms , marts, pokecenters, etc.... >.<
-
Maybe you could reduce the amount of grass (cause the wild pkm may have eaten it) and have patches of taller grass. If the tiles are availble.
The only place I imagine you might have consistant grass of the same would in fields or farmland.
Can we get more info about the route? the terrain? Is that a lake or a river?
I don't know if this is any help.

That's true, but I'd rather want to be living in a little shack in the forest than in a smog infested town :D Bahahaha.

The first map is a general route which leads to a city.
The second one is also a general route but there is no city up, left, right or down in that map.
Also decreasing the tall grass could make the map look bland..just imagine it as a really grassy untouched area :D
Also the stairs can be as we wish, they aren't backwards those are the correct tiles.
Thank you for all your reviews!
-
The maps look fine for general routes with no points of interest, but I'm afraid that stair tile in map 2 is definitely wrong.

she comes to visit your little snow town but was desapointed in not seeing a gym so decides to set off in that icy cave.

One has to wonder why there is a random fountain in the middle of the residential portion of your town. Furthermore, why isn't the water in the fountain frozen over?
....
But mainly, why is there a fountain in the town at all? :P
-
Oh, I didn't pay much attention to that. Maybe it's water from a hot spring, and it is the water supply of the town? ;D
-
Looks awesome! great job
-
Oh, I didn't pay much attention to that. Maybe it's water from a hot spring, and it is the water supply of the town? ;D
Exactly! :-X ;D
*It was a fountain with lava in the first place xP*
-

Water from a hot spring is usually turned into an attraction to lure in travelers. Not to mention the fact that the 'hot water' isn't steaming, looks like water (and not lava), and is coming from a fountain. :P

Well, not if the hot water passes through cold passages before coming up, where it is the much less hot, but neither frozen. ;D
::just kidding::

never questioning the logic of a gameworld ._. i mean think about all the times you played a game underwater and dint drown. or all the times you walked inside a volcano and dint die from the extreme heat and toxic gass's. or the floating peaces of land that should be falling but somehow are suspending in mid air.

dont mean to sound like a science nerd or anything but. if water is in movement its not going to freeze. thats why rivers and some ponds and lakes stay all liquid like. lol :P
-
that's really sick
-

Then why is there a fisherman fishing through a hole in the ice....
Anyways, my main point is, is that I just think it was a bad design choice. :P
-
But that adds character

Yeah, you could have used a decorative ice sculpture instead.

Tell me if you guys like it and hopefully I'll progress each time I go at it.
Give me tips as I am very eager to learn and get better and not stay at "staus' quo" =)

OK this should work now =)
-
not great but not too bad for your first
-
O.O ZOMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I applaud you!!! SERIOUSLY! That is wicked cool man. THOUGH! The Grass near the Gym is Irrelevant, since it's a town it's a safe zone with no pokemon. SO i suggest you get rid of the grass and replace it with something else.

Here's a remake with (no) grass I took on to that tip quick because it was so true I couldn't deny that XD.
-
Damn, these 'first ever map' submissions are turning out a lot better than mi last 20, or so, map attempts :(
Keep it up.
-
*applause* that is a spiffy looking town I must say. Good work.
-
Beautiful! :o
-
very nice!!
-
This time I decided to practice on a route style map!
Hope you guys like it and give me tips!
THIS IS MY SECOND MAP EVER!!!
You may contact me if you are interested in my designs, thus I would be willing to find time to make maps, rooms, etc for you as a part time designer ;)

Not bad, a lot of little mistakes, mainly layering problems, make sure to 1st layer grass where it is needed, you messed up a few corner tiles, and it doesn't look like water would pour out in that manner from those holes XD hrmmm...those stairs don't belong there >.< Those are supposed to be jumpable, so why would one need stairs. Yeah, just a lot of layer things, especially the mountains. oh , and sooo many rocks XD
Good for a second attempt though!

[Moved] because the Trainer's Lounge doesn't need to be spammed up with maps. Also, please keep your maps under the same topic. You don't need to make a new one every time you come out with a new 'map.' Kthanx.

What program did you use ?
-
also i didnt see an entrance to get to the water. maybe there should be one to make some trainers think they need to come back after they get surf or maybe they can fish or something.
-
What program did you use ?
I used this program called POL editor. I can't remember the site, but if you were to search this on google or something I'm sure it would come up with something.
Hope that helps :)

Thank you Kuhns.
I didn't realize that until you pointed it out, I'll be sure to post into my own topic next time...and yeah you are completely right, XD you don't need to have a whole new topic for the same idea.
-
The only things I saw was no entrance to the water, the water pouring out of the holes incorrectly, and the tall grass looks like little trees with three leaves on each side. I'm not an expert on this, so I wouldn't know how to fix it, but I'm sure someone could find a way. Other than that, it looked great at a first glance :)
You should continue with making maps Latios, they are looking awesome =D
-
I noticed that there was only one streetlamp. Normally street lamps line the streets. Also, There shouldn't be grass in a city, as cities are safe places with no wild pokemon or trainers.
However, this is a good map and I think you should keep it up ;)
-
Haha, thanx guys! :D
-
Hi there!
I started to realise that Photoshop isn't the right program to create maps (only for editing tiles, colors, etc.), so this time I used Game Maker :D
Again I used the setting from the wild going over into the city. This time the map/screenshot takes place in a forest and above the city you can see a piece of the lake. No trainers this time, so don't bother mention it xP.
The result (http://i41.tinypic.com/5d5mq1.jpg)
Edit:
No spoiler tags?
-
I have to say.. for a big and open map, it's look pretty good. There are no real "blank" spaces.
-
The map looks good, I wish I could make maps like that..
How did you do it/what did you use?
-

Game Maker [Free edition] and some sprites I found on the internet [Leaf Green/Fire Red] :D
-
At least there isn't a bunch of errors! Nice work ;)
-
Thats a relly big city, seems it could use a few more houses.

Here's a link to my first map, using POL editor, too
heheh, yeah, forgot to insert it. Well, that was stupid..
Here it is (for real)-http://s784.photobucket.com/albums/yy127/Mr_Pokemon/?action=view¤t=FirstMap-Route.png (http://s784.photobucket.com/albums/yy127/Mr_Pokemon/?action=view¤t=FirstMap-Route.png)
There is also a picture of my day care map, which I completed not too long after this one
-
Okay, Here is a link to the first map I ever made, using POL editor. I want some feedback, positive/negative so I can know what I need to improve.

I think I posted it on two. I wanted to make a thread so people would actually look at it.
Sorry, think I just got carried away...

Where is the link?
Edit:
Looking good!

the dare one reminded me of the good times in the original g/s/c games where you could talk with your pokemon while they were in the daycare
-
Just tried out a small starter town for a project I plan on doing. This is my first attempt at a map so let me know any errors/tips please, and be as harsh as you want. I used Advanced map with fire red/leaf green tileset.

-
Looks nice for a first map. I didn't notice any problems in the brief time I looked at it :)
-
Hey if anyone has any RMVX tilesets (pokemon ones :P) I would LOVE THEM SO MUCH for 2 reasons:
1. I want to map for the team however need some RMVX tilesets to prove my skills.
2. I would like to add more pics to this thread ;)
-
Yes,,put every 'map-topic' in one topic! ;D
We now know who is talking to who and which map :-X

All of these maps look pretty slick. I'm gonna have to look at the map editor, just for fun :P.
-
Yes,,put every 'map-topic' in one topic! ;D

@Dvys, i'm sure you have noticed by my post, that in fact, there are two very simple ways to talk to one specific person on the same thread :)
Or you could just go ahead and PM them, but wouldn't you want everyone to here your opinion?
Edit: To the author of the topic - can we post mapping images that aren't for pokemon games?
-
I'll make another thread for that.
Update (link (http://pokemon-universe.com/index.php/topic,848.msg10450/topicseen.html#new))
-
ok i haven't actually tried it yet but if someone were to provide me with a program were you can create maps i think i could do a pretty good job. but would the maps be in 2D??
-

Yes Jallas, in 2D. I don't know if the PU team has released a public map editor. But you could always download a software called "tiled" which is an awesome map editor. And if you have RMXP you can map in that. Otherwise just search on google. It almost always has an answer to your questions. I hope I helped ^^
-
Cool maps, I like the first one better than the second map though. The second one is kinda empty, just alot of grass.
LULS; sorry for double posting.. I must be drugged
-
I have mapped some before, but not for a while but still I think I cooked up something nice.
And the pokemon map editor I had to deal with was tricky...
Anyways!!! Check my first ever ->POKEMON<- map out: :)

I don't know man, I just downloaded some map editor and the tiles where there. But it's the tileset for ruby/saphire if that is what you're asking.

No has posted a map in a while. I quite enjoyed looking at them, so I finally decided to try making one. Let me know what you think of it. :P

Looks really nice Aon, but on the cave to the left, there is no way to get to the upper level. I'm assuming there would be one to the right? Also, the town is kind of empty. You may want to consider adding some object to fill some space. Otherwise, nice map =D

You can download a program called RGP Maker XP. Once you do that, and install it, then you can google and download a program called Pokemon Essentials. It comes with basically everything you need to start making maps in the RSE style of gameplay. You can also add in new tilesets you find online relatively easy.
-
Ok, here's a map done with my own rombase.
Special thing is I used a 10-tile tree.

that's awesome but too much tall grass
