I'm so sorry I haven't replied back, I read this but stuff IRL came up. I do have sprites from others and even the essential ones planned with permission of course. I also checked and Reborns are free to use as stated in the Reborn Faq as long as credited which it definately will be! My main thing is I have a bunch of custom characters that I spent the time creating either gym leaders,"evil team" of the game,protagonists,etc that I would like in my game just so it's more unique to others. I rather not have to reuse stuff others have used if I can. I can handle doing basically everything else for the most part, except for spriting characters in the styles mentioned above and a couple other minor things. It's the one thing stalling me from actually starting this project really and I still hope there is someone out there that can help me out. There is a lot of people that want money which is understandable but for a project that is created purely for fun with no budget or anything, it's really rough trying to find people. I've searched quite a few websites and even on Deviantart have gotten the odd person that told me they would help and then not hearing anything back from them or them changing their mind.
