Did I, by any chance, perhaps go a tiny bit too overboard here...? (supposed to be the second route in the game Also, the sand is for Rock Climb, or would be if I really wanted to take the time to try and add it in)

Holy crud, someone is doing a Pokemon thingy on rpgmaker? Dang, that's awesome. Might drop you a pm to ask for details or something hehe

Buuut anyway:

Yeah. That's something I probably don't want to meet up with on my second route.

Usually by then you don't even have a full team yet, so having to traverse through...that, is going to be...hard. ahaha~

Unless this is an RPG intending to pose gamers a legit challenge, I think it's too much. Cool design though, great concept ^^

First of all, it's on a program called Advance Map which, while it's much less user-friendly than RPGMaker, is still a functional and effective tool (I'm watching a series of tutorials for it, just about to get into the scripting portion of it). And secondly, it's definitely supposed to be more on the challenging side (the first gym, just before this route, is a double battle), though I'm pretty sure the route would need to have at least one Doctor/Nurse on it just because of the sheer length of it (it would have been bigger, but I'm pretty sure the version of Advance Map I'm using puts hard limitations on the width/height ratio; not sure if other version do that, or if it's simply something to do with the Pokemon ROM itself; i.e. that's the limitation of the GBA).

Oh so this is a ROMhack! I like the sound of that! I've never used Advance Map (because I tried, but I got a virus lol), and the only ROM-hacking I've done (for Pokemon games) is use a randomiser, but there's no effort in that. Is Advance Map hard to use? I heard that it's pretty good.

You do have to be careful where you download stuff, and make sure you get everything from the "official"/original source. Advance Map is kind of frustrating/tedious to use (I'm mostly using the 1.95 beta version, which isn't being developed any more, but I also have 1.92; I'm pretty sure that any more recent comparable applications have also ceased development, or aren't far enough into development to be fully usable), though it works if you know what to do (therein lies the problem, considering the program itself explains very little) and you have enough dedication to use it (and in order to get full use out of it, like if you want to change tilesets, animations, and other stuff, you need other programs in addition to it).

Yeah, those are the problems with a lot of Rom-hacking software. They:
 - can be annoying to use
 - can be hard to use
 - fail to explain how they work
 - corrupt the ROM easily
 - don't have enough features to be useful
 - have stopped development
 - +more

I'd say the best ROM-hacking software in general is Lunar Magic for Super Mario World. You can basically do anything with that one, and it still gets updated. I'd like to try Pokemon ROM-hacking again, so I'll need to get the software again.
