Description
This is the first route they player will travel in the Rousa region, located to the north of Nurise Village, it is actually Route 2. Route 1 will be to the south of Nurise Village and lead to Professor Hemlock's research area, but will not be accessible to the player until later in their adventure.I know its kind of big, but I think the overall shape of the route is good for a first route.
Please comment because while I do like it, I know it could be improved and needs some help in certain areas so please comment with suggestions!
Edits: I tried to edit the diagonal mapping issues a bit and tidied up the map a bit to try and not make it look so repetitive.
Also please do not steal anything from this map. It is all custom and 100% scratch. I made everything here. They are NOT public, and for use in my project Pokemon Tellurium ONLY.

Looks really good. I love how the water looks. Still not a fan of semi transparent shadows on trees but okay. Other than that For the first route it looks nice. Try to avoid the diagonally mapping as Gav already said because it really feels strange. But as always, Amazing work!

Thanks. I tried to improve the shadow some by making it green instead of gray, but I guess it wasn't enough of an improvement, I do a lot of layer effects with the shadows and stuff on some of the town maps so I need the tree shadows to be semitransparent so that they don't appear wrong with how the shadows layer,but I'll see if I can improve them a bit more.
Like I asked Gav, is there a specific area that needs more focus on improving the diagonal mapping issue or is it just the map as a whole? I'll definitely try to avoid that in future maps, I just really like the overall layout of this map and don't want to start completely over, but I do want to improve it!
Thanks for the compliments, I really appreciate them, they keep me motivated!

My only complains on diagonal mapping would be those midle trees. They are place a bit too diagonal. If you can redo thos I think the map will look even better. Its not a big deal actually.
Anyway I understand why you want semi transparent shadows, not a big deal too, its just my point of view.

Alright! I'll see what I can do to remap that middle section.

The layout seems alright. However I do have a peeve with the mapping. You should always avoid mapping diagonally because your player would be pressing "up, left, up, left, up, left" and that gets annoying, not to mention it feels unnatural when you play through the map. Liking what you're doing with the tiles however, nice mix of them. Keep it up!

Thanks for the comment. I'll see what I can do to improve the diagonal issue, I guess I never really thought about the player walking through the map... I'll see if I can improve it at all without compromising the feel I was going for with the map. What exactly are the most problem areas do you think that I should focus on, or is it the whole map?
Thanks for the comments about the tiles, means a lot coming from you.

Very nice layout for a first route. The boundary in the river is quite a dam though, and you could easily bypass it.

Haha thank you for noticing that I didn't see it! I'll make sure to fix it so the player can't walk past the dam!!

It seems fine for the first route the player will go along, man. You done the classic fill the way up with grass and allow the player to jump the ledges on the way back to avoid the grass. That's classic Pokemon lol.
In fact, it's so perfect for a first route, if you told me that was a remake of the first route from Pokemon Black or something, I'd believe you lol.

Thank you! I really tried to get a good layout while also trying to make the route more dynamic with the river running through it!
