A "Gen 4 tileset" in the context of Pokemon Essentials refers to the collection of 2D map graphics (tiles) and associated map layout rules that emulate the look-and-feel of Generation IV Pokémon games (Diamond/Pearl/Platinum, HeartGold/SoulSilver). In Essentials (an RPG Maker XP toolkit for making Pokémon-style games), a tileset includes ground tiles, terrain details, objects (trees, signs, furniture), and autotile rules that determine how tiles connect.
Solution: Gen 4 uses a 2:1 ratio (Characters are 32x32, doors are 48x64). If your player sprite is 32x32, leave it. Resize the building doorway sprite to 48x48 in the tileset, but use a 48x64 door event. Do not scale down the tileset; scale up your events.
