Redirect to original
Description
The beta region comprised of whole Japan held some unused potential, but it has certain problems: It looks unfinished and most of the routes are blocky and empty, with the tiles being the only interesting thing. So I decided to use the beta region map as a base and redraw it completely - by fixing some mapping problems, tweaking the structure a bit while staying true to it's original (I couldn't think of a nice re-tweaking of the dead forest route between the desert town and another gatehouse - maybe we'll see a event it showed it used to be full of life). I tried to mimic the GSC mapping style to adjust it as if it was brought in Gen 2, but some routes fell off of this rule like the route northeast of Kanto.- I added a grassy place with a tower-like shrine underneath the ruin town because it's believed it might be based after Izumo (at first it was thought to be Hiroshima, but it can be both) and I'm mostly thinking about the Izumo Grand Shrine (aside from the Lighthouse and museums), so the ruin town gets a new purpose.
- Silent Hill becomes a little bigger for more place, mostly for GSC style houses and ways.
- The route between Silent Hill and Kanto is tweaked a little to have some elements from Route 27 (and an entrance to the Tohjo Falls).
- The city who later will become Viola City and Ecruteak City got it's river tweaked to resemble Violet City's river more.
- The bridge of Beta Goldenrod City is a port now.
- The city with the lighthouse and aquarium gets a port to strengthen it's similarity to Olivine City.
- "Beta Canalave City" has a house which could be the Daycare. Now it's a proper Daycare.
- Some tile errors of the compressed Kanto map got fixed and big trees are used. A big thanks to BerrySandwich in Skeetendo for this big Kanto tree. [link]
- The snow grass are actually just recolors which I made. Most of the ice tiles I used are from Raonak, the maker of Super Pokémon Eevee Edition as well the colors from his tilesets.
- New Cave Entrances are made to give more exploration possibilities. "Mt. Moon" can be accessed again.
- The route upon Silent Hill is completely made from scratch. The route upon the mountain town (with Waterfall) has elements from Route 28 and an entrance to an prototype Mt. Silver.
It took me four days to make this big map and while it isn't finished yet I'm happy with this region map now. Now it looks somewhat playable and the routes are more interesting (I have a habit to make it labyrinths, but it's better for me than blocky empty tiles and I have to use the place it was used). Beware this map uses tiles with palettes it wouldn't fit in a GSC hack because I prefer to map with Gen 2 tiles with the color scheme orientated after Super Pokémon Eevee Edition (which is my favorite fangame).

I wonder if you'll update this with the new SW map

I can see you put a lot of work into this! Someone needs to make a hack out of this map and add the Beta Pokemon back to it!

Absolutely! It may be not treated as a canon region, but I can see it as an alternate world. And we need the Beta Pokémon becoming real. If Leafeon, Aipom, Tangrowth, Mega Pinsir, Scizor and Sneasel had Beta Designs then I want to see the Honoguma line, the Kurusu line, the Qwilfish evo, the Thunder cats (maybe combining them with the bell cats) and the Farfetch'd evo becoming real too (and the Tangela baby, it's somehow the only dummied out baby Beta I liked).
