Color me amazed and impressed. I thank you for this, and I think your smoother is interesting. However, I like the pixelated look, so I'll probably stick with the originals. Also, I think it's cool how you're making your game without RMXP and Essentials. I barely have the skills to work those, and I'm constantly asking questions. Good on you.

I'm really liking these tutorials. Now I have an easier way of doing what was hard in the past.

I'm a huge fan of gen 3, specifically emerald. Is there anywhere I can find a folder of pre-readied, pre-sized gen 3 sprites? I'm not a big fan of the gen 4 Pokemon sprites in Pokemon Essentials. Also, I could get the sprites as usual, but resizing it so each pixel is then four by hand is a grueling task. Also, I don't want all of the Pokemon from the first five generations. How do I shorten it? Sorry I'm a newbie, but I have a lot of questions. I appreciate each response.

Well, I have RMXP, Pokemon Essentials, GraphicsGale, GoldWave, and FL Studio 12. Albeit the free versions for some of these. What do I do now? I hear somehow you are supposed to use RMXP and Essentials together, but I have no clue. Don't know where to start with anything here, really. Plus, Essentials is a slur of random graphics, lack of battle animations, strange music, and NPC's that spout coding nonsense I don't understand. Apparently FL Studio needs a registration key to upgrade from demo. Eh.

Thank you very much.

I don't even know how to edit my signature now.

Ah. It'll probably be a while for me, not having money for RMXP and all.

Thanks a lot for the encouragement. I've been trying for years, but never seemed to get it. I'll try harder now. I guess people aren't editing ROMS anymore? That's what I've always done.

Is there a good place to find these programs? Also, I've been told that doing these alone is not the smartest option. I have sprited a little in the past. Here's some examples.

I've wanted to make a Pokemon fangame for as long as I can remember. However, despite all the ideas I've cultivated over the years, I can't do it. It's impossible. I don't know how to script. I don't know how to make tilesets. There is no easy way to do it, and no guide has ever effectively explained how to do anything. Where do I start, what are the necessary programs? I am told something different every time. I believe, being an artist and occasional writer, I have pretty good ideas and designs for such a venture, but I am alone and unable, for I lack the skills necessary to achieve this small dream of mine. What do I do guys? Where do I go from here, if I can go forward at all?

Wow, everyone here had a much more creative description than I did. Next time I should go all out.

This is my first post, so bear with me. What would your type and team be as a gym leader? For those who are indecisive, you can provide three teams with each having a different type focus. For example: 1. Team Type: Ground Pokemon: Steelix, Flygon, Rhydon, Golurk, Gliscor, Claydol 2. Team Type: Psychic Pokemon: Gardevoir, Metagross, Exeggcutor, Hypno, Jynx, Slowbro 3. Team Type: Grass Pokemon: Victreebel, Leavanny, Exeggcutor, Ludicolo, Torterra, Abomasnow Rules: No legendaries, unless they are those allowed in the Battle Frontier. Limit one legendary per team.
