I've used every rpg maker known to man. Does this mean I'm the greatest scripted in the world. Nope. I'm not that arrogant. It's been awhile since I've made a game. I think the last game I made was a dating sim on renpy, either that or a phoenix wright game on the plywright engine I think it was called.
I've also DMed many table top games, various roleplays, and was even a mod on a minecraft server. Why does that matter you ask? It means I'm the one who gets stuck with all the plot line work, traps, shenanigans, artwork. I've come to realize something. All because I have people enjoying the things I make for them doesn't mean it's simple for me, and sometimes I need to bounce ideas off of someone. Guess who that lucky someone is?! Yup the person behind the screen reading this, at least I hope it is.
What engine are we using Butch?
Great question. We'll be using RPG Maker xp with the latest pokemon essentials pack so I don't cry trying to script it all myself or trying to learn a new thing like hacking a rom. I tried rom hacking once for fire emblem I'll never do that again....Ever....If you can do it awesome, but it's not my cup of tea.

How it MIGHT appear in game

It was resized for rpgmaker if you're wondering why it was cropped to be smaller.
There are 2 stories I kind of what to try.
1. A team rocket story - I'll delve deeper tomorrow I have to get to bed right now.
New type of intro
Ship captain.
"All aboard the S.S. Heartily Cruise Ship! You there I didn't see your passport, come here a minute."
Input if you are a girl or a boy, and your name.
"Welcome aboard /pn. (That's the code to call up the name the person picks I believe) We hope you enjoy your time on the S.S. Heartily."
The game opens up inside a ship. Text pops up.
"The ship has terrorists on it!"
"Get in your cabins quick, maybe they won't hurt anyone!"
"I'm to old for this..."
hopefully the player is smart enough to realize he/she heard the noise from outside. You walk out of bed. You can leave your room and check other rooms. There will just be a bunch of scared people and if you talk to the right person you'll find out members or Team Plasma. Eventually you'll run into a strange man.
"Hey you, if you don't want to die you'll listen up. My room will have some pokeballs on a table. Pick one, and come back and talk to me."
When you enter the man's room a woman walks up to you.
"Ah, good another one. Grab your work outfit over there and your pokemon on the table. We need to stop these Plasma jerks."
You'll have a choice between the following pokemon
Nidoran male
Nidoran female
Houndour
Axew
Aron
Spheal
You go back to the guy blocking the entrance and you talk to him.
"Fight your way through to the captain's quarters this is your first mission."
So you fight various members of team Plasma and the guy also gives you potions before moving out of your way. You fight your way through the Team Plasma grunts and then you get to the captain's room and inside is a captain hostage as well as Petrel in a Plasma outfit. Once you talk to him he reveal some plot and the man who gave you a pokemon will burst in shouting how he's a traitor.
You will then have to fight Petrel. After which something happens to the boat and you end up in the first town in the top left corner of the screen. You'll wake up in bed.
Once you go downstairs the man will look you at you and tell you to change in the clothes that are in the dresser and then come back down. The dresser will have a rocket outfit and your sprite will change. You go back downstairs and he'll reveal himself as Giovanni if you haven't figured it out already. He'll give you your next mission.
I will need sprites for the following so far
Female and Male character sprites and back battler throw the ball sprites
Female and male character sprites in Rocket uniform with throw the ball sprites
Crystal Onix and Crystal Steelix sprites for overworld, battler, evolving sprite
All rocket admins in plasma outfits
Shadow Pichu with one ear not shadow
Rival sprites
Gym Leader sprites
that's the current list of sprites I'll need that would need to be custom.
Captain sprite in the beginning instead of the typical professor sprite explaining the game.
So who is up for helping with the project?!
