Region Mapping; I am so bad at this.

Okay, so I'm working on a region map for a forum roleplay (here, if Kumo likes the idea; if not, I can always put it on... uh, let's just say somewhere else). And let me just say - I'm awful at this, mostly because I'm awful at scratch spriting entire images. Thus, I resorted to piecing together parts of various maps and scratch spriting little pieces at a time. Here's what I've done so far:

It's just an outline right now... and I still need to add major islands for various event stuffs (kind of like DPP, with Cresselia/Darkrai, except the island events won't be for those Pokémon).

That doesn't look bad at all!
Way better than anything I could do; That's for sure.

Don't forget water routes D:

But it looks nice :). Unfortunately the first thing I saw with mainland was Texas...due to the bottom part.

Also, the space between inland and that one island in the corner seems...well....spacey. Maybe add an archipelago or something in there? (I'm thinking something like the whirl islands in Johto)

-Just realizing they're for event and therefor wouldn't make much sense to be so easily accessible...so yeah; It looks great :)

Thanks for the suggestions, Katsuri. =3

Yeah, I noticed that it does lack water routes. ^_^"
I'll throw a river in there or something. And throw in an ocean route w/ dive.

And yeah, the islands in the top and bottom left corner are meant to be gotten to only by boat.

EDIT: New map!

- Added a river that starts from the mountain-city. Can be accessed from the other two points (where it crosses the routes), but you get Surf after those points (my logic for not being able to swim/ride water Pokemon upstream: the current is too strong, and your Pokemon must be trained to battle the current, hence Surf)
- There are two places that can only be reached by surfing in the river (two blue dots). The river also provides quicker transportation.
- Little yellow dot near the end of the river is supposed to be a sandbar large enough to be put on a map. .^."
- Added an ocean route. 3 islands. Several dive spots. The biggest (most important) dive spot is inside the largest island.

My explanation for why the ocean route is a rectangle? ...Please wait.

There are magical rocks and stuff like in the game.
