Ok, if you have RPG Maker (VX, XP, etc.) then this is the place that you can show your work. It would also be convenient for people who need help with scripting or any other questions that might arise. All I ask is that you don't break any copyright rules or do anything else that could get you in trouble.

Thanks, and I know exactly what you mean. I had to re-do that pokemon town like 3 times before I got it to look not so congested.
Also, I decided to go with a rich kid whose dad owns a major corp. for the protagonist. I felt like going with the new kid in a small town was to cliche, and decided that I want to see how a story based on a guy like Steven Stone from R/S/E might play out. I will post a pic of the corp later. The north exit in the town leads there.
Are you asking what is RPG Maker in general, or are you asking which version is current? I'm not an expert by any stretch of the imagination, but maybe I can fill in some gaps.
RPG Maker is a computer program (also available for PS2) that allows you to create you own RPG game. This includes stuff like creating every map, creating the characters, customizing their looks, stats, weapons, classes, magicks, etc. The storyline, cutscenes and all that jazz are in your full control as well, especially through use of scripting with Ruby.
Making the maps is easy enough to figure out, but I don't really know enough about scripting to build my own unique battle system yet. It's worth getting if you have an idea for a game.
I have no idea, but the one that I am using for the pics you saw is RPG Maker XP.
You need to download "kits" if you want to have the resources to make pokemon games, Golden Sun, etc. But it's ready to use when you get it.
When I see RPG Maker XP gameplay or screenshots, whenever there's a battle going on, I usually see character artworks representing the characters instead of character sprites. Is there a way you can use character sprites for battles instead of character artwork?
Yeah, you can. I think it requires some scripting to change the battle system, though. Let's say you want to have a battle system more like Final Fantasy and less like Dragon Warrior. You can either:
A) Script your own, or
B) Download the Final Fantasy RPG Maker kit (I'm sure there is one somewhere if you search)
I downloaded the pokemon starter kit, and it already had the pokemon battle system scripted, so I would suggest searching for a kit if you don't know Ruby scripting yet (I don't). I also saw a Golden Sun kit once, too.
