Add Individual Maps #3

Add individual maps for every route, city, dungeon that has checks

palex00 commented 4 months ago

Discussions were had about this in the Emerald chat. Some say some have confusing layouts, some say it'd be overkill.

Personally, I think it's overkill. There's resources like https://pkmnmap.com/ and https://kelseyyoung.github.io/EmeraldIronmonMap/ (the latter showing literally every Trainer) which solve this issue for very new beginners.

I think there would be some benefit to adding a couple new maps, like Seafloor Cavern or a map of the dive paths that overlays with each other so people don't need to constantly switch views like in the two maps. That'd be useful. But I don't think towns like Petalburg City need a map. It'd be overkill and not only be useless to many people but actively impair their usage of the tracker by literally having to nestle out the whole path of Dungeons to find it.
