Yeah you also don't get red do you ? Better?

I'm sorry, but the MC water does in no way go well with the Pure graphics. It's a bit like seeing a tree from Skyward Sword in Ocarina of Time. It just sticks out really badly. Other than that, it's a fairly basic screen. A good one at that. The only thing that really bothers me is the water, as I have already mentioned, and the fact that the palette looks slightly washed out. It may just be my monitor though.

It looks fine to everybody else. It doesn't look bad at all. The Water tiles are recolored to fit these graphics anyway so what's the deal?

I, honestly, don't think there's too much style clash there. Then again, I'm not good at noticing these things. I think it's better than using plain old LttP water in my eyes; at least it's something new.

@Keiichi123: I could recolor classic mountains to fit into the DoR palette, but does that mean it would look good? Not really.

What do you guys think of this?

You have a good point, but LTTP water is very boring and overused due to the fact that most tilesets use it. I want to try something different, and better detailed. I don't mind if the water doesn't fit perfectly.

Youuu are getting too good at DoR for your own good. Yesssss...I fear you may have to have an unfortunate accident...

The only thing I can see in your screen that I don't like are those green rocks. Make them brown or white.

Oh Pokemonmaster, that makes me feel REALLY happy. No one has ever told me that before. :')
And what rocks? They are white.

If the player will be able to walk on either side of the house, cover the corners, and remove the tree on the right of the ladder. Other than that, you got a solid screen.

[Jared]

They can't walk on the sides of the house. There's one minitile blocking it.

And what's wrong with the tree? I like it.

As soon as the player enters the screen, there is an obstacle blocking the player's path. It disrupts the flow of the screen.

[Jared]

There's two tiles to walk, how is that obstructing the player?

[Alestance]

There's two tiles to walk, but five tiles to enter the screen in.

[Jared]

Thank you, but i'm not changing it for the time being. It needs trees, and there's not much room because of the mountains shadows.

Here is a map I've been working on. It's not quite finished and needs some work, but I want to show you guys what I've come up with so far.

Very heavily inspired by Golden Sun villages. I hope it doesn't look like a copy...

Note: The lake has more water detail. It's just not cycling in this picture.

Do that more often. It's totally fine to use references. I'd actually say it's highly recommanded. None of us is a professional game designer. Games made be the big companies are made by professional game designers. There must be something we can learn from examining and referencing their work.
I quite like the layout. The tile choice isn't too nice in my eyes, but that's also an issue of the tileset. Palette is nice. Maybe a little too busy, sometimes less is more.
Edit: I recommand getting rid of at least the puffy Pokemon tree. Water borders should all be the same, tMC might be a good fit, since you use the redrawn treetops and the tall grass. The pines are okay, but you could try replacing them with LttP small trees with redrawn treetops. The leaf pile on the right looks out of place, so do the mushrooms. The orange veins look odd, maybe green would look better.
