'>>55792962
agreed, there needs to be more going on on the right side for that trek to be worth it. if you want to keep the same general shape, even just moving the Pokemon center closer to the rest of town and making the upper part optional with a hidden item or a boathouse that you can use to get somewhere in the postgame. or maybe reposition those market stalls into a dedicated space in the center. if the program you use for mapping let's you display the player view rectangle around your cursor, like porymap, I recommend keeping it on so you can always keep the player pov in mind. you don't want to go more than a screen's worth of walking without something of note there.';

I think it's fine for the player to carry healing items, just make sure money is plentiful. Other things you can do is design routes to have an easy path back to town, like with ledges for example, so it's not too much of a pain to get back to town if necessary. Or on particularly long routes you could include a rest house, or even a remote Pokemon center.';

The thing about Pokemon that's really frustrating is that very, very rarely do you have to go long without a Pokemon Center that fully heals you, so you don't have to worry about keeping your team healthy. But the worst part is PP. You so rarely have a chance to use up your PP so there's very little reason to strategize, which differs from SaGa, the game that inspired Pokemon. In that game healing was a lot more limited (and cost money) so your resources were a lot more precious, especially because weapons had permanently usable charges and could run out. Even classes that could regenerate uses had to be careful, because you need to be careful to use your weak 20 use weapon or else you won't have your 5 use fire spell.

I don't really know what the solution to this in the Pokemon games is though, short of charging for the Pokemon Center.';

Rather than money, what if you limited how often each Pokemon could be healed? You could have a step counter per-Pokemon that could either be a universal limit or vary depending on the species. If the counter has not at 0, you can't heal.
You could also use heals for HP and not PP. Or limit the amount of PP you have overall, and fill it up each time you level.';

Suggestions:

Some of the paths are 2 tiles while some are 3 tiles? I suggest sticking to 2 tile for Gen 3 style tiles

Change the colors of the tiles so they at least don't look like the 94382847 other Gen 3 maps, def change the grass color, the mint green was always gross looking.

The empty line of tiles above the pokecenter/mart, remove it and move the buildings up 1 tile, there's too much empty space

Add some more smaller things in to fill in some of the space, like fences, light poles, benches.

The dock (?) is slightly too big with lots of empty space

Other than that, it's not a bad map, just needs some more adjusting.';

Sneasel wouldn't make sense in the Shoal Cave because it's in the middle of the ocean. What would a weasel be doing out there?
Right at the top of Mt. Pyre would probably be a good spot to fit it in. They're not exclusively found in cold places as evidenced by Oni Mountain in Kitakami. A lore reasoning would be that it preys on the ghost-types and Chimecho found in that area.';

'>>55804534
Sneasel isn't a spooky Pokemon, but it is a natural-born climber that would reasonably attack ghost-types where they live. Maybe the two routes connected to Fortree as well? The gen 3 dex entries specifically mention it being adept at climbing trees and stealing eggs from nests. Now neither route has any birds, but they are heavily wooded.';

I honestly feel like this limits how creative you can get with a route.
What I did for mine is integrate region lore. Basically, there's some big power flowing under the region and there are points where a bit of it is released into the surface, in those spots you can heal your pokemon if you interact with it.';

The path leading up to the thing in the top right is about 5 times longer than it should be.

As a player it represent 20-30 seconds of nothingness
The building should be at the place where the road turns to the right

If you want to see an example of this sort of thing done correctly it would be Misty's town in RBY notice how compact the actual city is and if you /need/ to have a location that feels far away put it at the end of a route with pokemon, trainers, and mazes for the player to explore';
