Updated Region Map

[NyteFyre]

I like how you've done this so far, and it's ok if you aren't able to make your own thread, the Administration can make one for you, but I have some questions/suggestions:

- What is that in the left half of the map, past C/K? Is that a sideways Hoenn?
- Could you maybe make a more detailed, up close version of just the C/K area? That would help clarify which cities and routes are going to be in the game upon release, and which aren't.
- As for the labels, perhaps you should wait, at least until we decide if we plan to use the Routes we have already there, or if we plan to continue from where Jhoto/Kanto left off at Route 48, i think.
- In terms of the caves and other side areas of the game, there have been some changes, such as city names, and some areas have been removed, but You'd have to search/ask the administration of all the changes.
- One thing I know for sure is that Frost Town is now Skobeloff Town.
- As of now, Olivine and Cianwood are cut off from the rest of Jhoto.

And that's all I really have to say at the moment.

That's Hoenn, yes.

More detailed? How do you mean? I linked to this cropped version in my post. Is that what you mean? I don't know which ones are meant to be included; I was just commissioned to make this with them all together.

- As for the labels, perhaps you should wait, at least until we decide if we plan to use the Routes we have already there, or if we plan to continue from where Jhoto/Kanto left off at Route 48, i think.

I wasn't planning on labelling any routes at this point. I just meant that if someone else wanted to label forests and things on a new map for me that there was a smaller version for that.

- In terms of the caves and other side areas of the game, there have been some changes, such as city names, and some areas have been removed, but You'd have to search/ask the administration of all the changes.

Will they see this thread? City names are not important, but areas/cities being removed is something that I would need to know about, yes.

- As of now, Olivine and Cianwood are cut off from the rest of Jhoto.

I did notice they were on their own on the map, but I thought this was simply stylistic.

Thanks for commenting, though! I'm not sure of my way around here (as you can tell, I'm sure), so if there's a better place to put this, please point me in that direction.

I commissioned the map, and it is my idea about connecting Caldera/Kirant to Hoenn and Johto, obviously, there is no way we will be able to do this until after we complete the original game. Hoenn connects sideways because it is based on Kyushu Island in Japan, as shown here: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wi...real-world.png and on NikNak's PokeJapan map here: http://niknaks93.deviantart.com/art/...on-3-188356539.
I created the connections leading from Caldera/Kirant leading to Hoenn, so that the route names would lead to 100, if you continued Caldera/Kirant's Route names from Johto's.

Why is a new map neccessary? I really liked the style from RSE and FRLG. The HGSS style is nice, but looks a little too simple. This map does look good, but a this point we don't need the attachment to the rest of Johto/Kanto, and we definitely aren't incorporating Hoenn any time soon.
If other people like the style, we could use it, but I think that we'd have to use a version without the routes to Hoenn and Johto in the beginning.

Will they see this thread?

IB sees all.

The commission was for one in this style and one in an RSE style like the original one as well. This was easier, having already made PokéJapan, so that's why this one's appearing first. However, speaking as someone who essentially only makes these, the one on the site is blurry and in need of a revamp, which I am more than happy to provide!

I do need some more information about which routes and areas are to be included, though. The connection to the other regions seems to be a bit "pie in the sky" so to speak, but I'm not sure which parts are changes to the original that have been already decided and which are entirely new.
