Creating Towns

[Plato]

I used to make my own custom towns, cities and routes with existing sprite textures, usually from Generation III and more specifically FR/LG because everything seems so much more square and... I don't know, easier to put together. I stopped doing it a bit back and now I'm annoyed that I'm back to square one. Does anyone make their own towns too, and does anyone have any good sources for map squares/textures? I had a load at one point and I've no idea where they've all gone. I've included a few examples of the towns I've made and boy do they bring back memories.

I know that the idea is to put the squares together in such a way that the grid's removed, but I always leave it for reference and easy editing.

There was a thread a few years back about this, I remember making them, I guess you can probably look through my posts if you really want to find them, and I'll probably have some nubbie post in a topic about it

by the way, that's a cool route 44444444444444444444444

Thanks very much, and I'll edit this post when I find the source I used; the ones I've found so far were saved in the wrong format so the quality is a lot to be desired. This is another I made though I wasn't exactly happy with it. While I love the idea of a seaside village, the colour scheme was wrong. Thrown in another route too, for good measure.

EDIT: I've removed all examples I've previously made, and found the site I used eons ago. It brought back memories! Click. Still no grids though for some reason, which is most peculiar... again, maybe from a different source? I'd still love to see your sources and examples.
