Map sharing time!
I'm really into making maps for my region in the Gen 2 GBC style. There's something really cozy about the graphics for me. I'd like to share a handful of the maps I've made. A lot of the images are pretty big, so please click them to expand and see them better.
This is the starting town. The region has a lot of emphasis on farming and agriculture, so you'll see a lot of gardens, crops, and pastures of Pokemon throughout the region.
This is the first town you'll come to after you set out on your journey. This is Olive Town.
Pagoda Town is near an active volcano and covered in layers of soot. It's home to the Ghost-Type Gym, which I chose over Fire-Type to represent the life and death that volcanos and wildfires can bring to the land. There's a pasture of Fire-Type Skiddo and Gogoat that thrive on ashy brush and grass.
Pagoda Town is an optional town that the player can find if they're willing to explore. It's the largest agricultural town and has its own farmers market that many people travel to for fresh food and other things. It has the NPC's that check your Pokemon's friendship and EV's, and it's also where you can get special types of Balls and some other items. It's also home to the Daycare Center.
This is the first major forest that you'll go through, Cherry Forest. It's also the forest of Spring, and you can find the Legendary Pokemon, Florubus, in the upper-right corner at the shrine. Florubus is based on a succubus, so once you've beaten the game and have access to catching it, you'll find many NPC's near her shrine that are completely enthralled. Some will babble things like, "So... beautiful..." while some will battle you in their frenzy.
This is the Twilight Thicket, which is the Autumn forest. It's a very dense maze with caverns to explore. Once you have all the necessary HM's and have beaten the game, you'll find your way through the caves and up the hills into the darker red areas where Tiefleaf's shrine is.
This is Evergreen Woods, the Winter forest. You can find Arctyr way at the top at its shrine. There's a small community deep in the forest that's initially somewhat hostile to the player during the story. The upper pasture has an Ice variant of Miltank that produces naturally ice-cold milk. There's an ice area with some fishing holes that gives you access to a fish Pokemon that you can't find anywhere else.
I also added another common Pokemon, Tapierce!
