== Design style and Evolution ==
With having designed so many levels across many different level sets, Josh's design style went through several different iterations in hopes to establish a style of his own. Below is some history behind each of his main CC1 sets, how they started and how his overall design style improved and changed over the years.

In addition, there are some unreleased levels for what is tentatively titled JoshL8 that Josh would like to continue and release properly at some point, however, it is currently uncertain if this will continue as original ideas for CC1 levels have come more scarce than ever.

Ideally, Josh would like to go back to CC2 level designing, continuing with Flareon2 and finding his design style within that game.
Ideally, Josh would like to retire from CC1 level design as he has made countless levels and explored most of what it has to offer and go back to CC2 level designing, continuing with Flareon2 and finding his design style within that game.


==Flareon level==
==Flareon level==
This particular level was created at the end of the JoshL3 era, and thus has become a signature level to Josh, as it is his favorite Pokémon. ''Flareon'' is the only level to be recurring throughout Josh's level sets. It is usually the last level of every JoshL set, however, there are a few exceptions; JoshL, JCCLP, JCCLP2, and Walls of CCLP3 are the only sets to not have this level, as it doesn't fit into the context of Walls of CCLP3 and JoshL, and JCCLP2 is meant to focus on the levels themselves. This level was also reformatted in JoshL4, having more gameplay involved than the one's in JoshL1, 2 ,3 and JCCLP. It was again remastered for JoshL6, removing a few busts and adding more chips compared to the JoshL4 version, however, there are still extra items. For JoshL7, this level was once again updated to remove all extra content, and the [[blue wall]] mazes were also changed to be made less trivial compared to previous versions. Its [[time limit]] was also increased to 350 to match with Josh's CC username.

''Flareon'' is the only level to be recurring throughout Josh's level sets. It is usually the last level of every JoshL set, however, there are a few exceptions; JoshL, JCCLP2, JCCLP3, Walls of CCLP3, and Trading Places are the only sets to not have this level, as it doesn't fit into the context of either Walls of CCLP3 or Trading Places and JoshL, and the latter two JCCLPs are meant to focus on the levels themselves. In its original form, it was primarily a mosaic level, featuring little to no meaningful gameplay.
 
This level was later reformatted in JoshL4, having more gameplay involved, including using the [[blue wall]] section to form a maze and key collecting. It was again remastered for JoshL6, removing a few busts that were present and adding more chips compared to the JoshL4 version, however, there are still extra items.  
 
For JoshL7, this level was once again updated to remove all extra content, and the blue wall mazes were also changed to be made less trivial compared to previous versions. Its [[time limit]] was also increased to 350 to match with Josh's CC username.
