Pokemon Snap, first level (beach), by thisplatypus.
I played this last a few months ago on an emulator. I nostalgia’d so hard i thought my heart had been restarted. As soon as I found Mapstalgia, I knew I had to pay homage <3
[Josh says: aw, heck, Mapstalgia <3 you too.]

Pokemon Ruby, Mauville, by lunathewarrior.
My favorite town from the GBA game, Pokemon Ruby. Incidentally, this is also my first map for this blog; I discovered it yesterday and found I couldn&#8217;t resist, even though my art skills are limited to basic shapes. I hope to post more in the future. What a neat idea for a tumblr!
[Josh says: basic shapes are totally keen!  Thanks for the submission, keep at it!]

Pokemon, Viridian Forest entrance, by AnalogStick.
Note: That flower patch really got me. You walk in a talk to the guy and he&#8217;s like &#8220;Do you know what I&#8217;m doing?&#8221; and you say yes or no. No provided the stupid response of &#8220;I&#8217;m spraying Repel to stop those bugs from eating my flowers.&#8221; he&#8217;s standing on the flowers. they&#8217;re already ruined

Pokemon, Sinnoh, by chr1597.
Seen a lot of Pokemon maps, but none of the 4th gen. Here&#8217;s my attempt at Sinnoh.

Pokemon, Kanto and Johto, by heartilly.
This is the combined map for Kanto and Johto from the Pokemon games. I started off doing Kanto which took no time at all as I played the original games SO MANY TIMES. I then decided to add in the Johto map, which took a bit longer to remember. I also added the gym leaders names (in a colour appropriate to their type). I also added in a few important landmarks besides the towns, such as islands, houses and pokemon that block the path. :) Then I decided to colour in with a spray-can effect to mark where land/sea is, where I think will be where many of my mistakes will be! I regretted the decision halfway through as it took ages, but it was too late then.

Pokemon, Kanto, by PRY.
It isn&#8217;t really proportionate, but I got most things right. Forgot some names like Silence Bridge and Nugget Bridge, but the rest is fine, I think.
I had played all three Generation I games back in the days - Red, Blue and Yellow, to the DEATH. Afterwards came Gold, Silver and Crystal. After that, interest waned a bit. Then I got my hands on Fire Red. Everything changed.
Since I also played SoulSilver a lot, my knowledge of the Kanto Map should be pretty fair. The Johto map, however, is a whole other case. Funny, if you think about it.

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Red/Blue rescue team, town map, by joseph.
This is the town&#8230;
In the submission page it says I can do it with ketchup, sadly I ran out of ketchup this morning so I had to go with mustard&#8230; 
[Josh says: oh man.  I think you are on to something here, joseph.  Someone needs to draw a Donkey Kong Country map on a banana now.]

Pokemon Red, Kanto Region, by Nicholas Flynt.
Pokemon Red was my first real game for the gameboy, and I studied it to death. I was an avid programmer on the TI-84 calculators all through Junior High and High School, and I was working on porting the maps to a playable version of the game. That never saw the light of day of course (I graduated and got a RealLife(tm) unfortunately) but I saw your site and immediately got out my paper and pencil and went to work.
This is all of the major towns and some of the in-between features, as best I could remember them  completely from memory. I haven&#8217;t played the original game in several years. Marked are important locations that I could remember, such as the fabled Missingno glitch, the HM Fly which I never found until very late in my first playthrough, and all the locations where Gary encounters you. (To my knowledge, I haven&#8217;t missed any Gary encounters on the map&#8212; the one at the Plateau is omitted intentionally.)
I remembered the general shape of the Forest and some of the earlier routes, but my route memory fades just outside of Pewter, so I resorted to just showing connections. I also omitted Nugget Bridge and Bill&#8217;s house north of Celadon due to running out of paper. I think I have the Gyms, Pokemon Marts, and Pokemon Centers at least in their general locations within each city, which is encouraging.
Enjoy!

Pokemon FireRed, world map, by chad.
Here&#8217;s a map from Pokemon Fire Red. Though, there might be some elements from Pokemon Pearl. I would make a terrible poke-cartographer.

Pokemon Red, Blue, Yellow, FireRed, and LeafGreen, Kanto Region, by lonewookie.
I know I don&#8217;t have the placement right for some of the bottom-right of the map.  And I forgot whether some of the places are cities or towns.  I feel like I should have remembered more considering how many times I have been to Kanto.
