1 started in 1.5.2... What do you mean doesn't exactly look the best? It's an exact to scale replica, with Customized Custom NPC mod, which say exactly what they say in the actual game... as well as other mods in the map, which make it seem even more real like the actual game itself... So it's like playing Pokemon Fire Red in 3D...
What I mean by it is, judging by the screenshots, buildings look taller than would otherwise be expected. Some choice of block could be different, using wool as a grass block (Pallet Town), or the stone path (Viridian City) really puts me off in terms of prettiness. In Pewter City I noticed some places user 2 block high logs where fence would be expected, as well as other things like the cliffs being stone instead of a more soily block such as dirt.
You've probably heard of PokeCraft which started around Classic, and they were forced to use wool because Minecraft was lacking in blocks. They really need to update their map with new blocks, it is hurting the quality. This is what I would have thought you'd have done. I updated my Sinnoh map with 1.6 blocks when the time came, and my Sevii map with 1.5 blocks when that update was rolled out.
Not saying you didn't do a good job, anyone who can build a Pokémon region to scale has done a good job, but the design and appearance of this map has zero appeal to me. It just doesn't look good to my eye. I think you can benefit from better block choice.
