POKEMON: ODYSSEY [IS IT A POSSIBILITY?]

Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum, and new to video game design as well.

My question, or more like 'questions', revolves around a sensitive subject of RPG's.

Is there any way of making a legal pokemon game? Now, here's why I think it could be possible... (if you'd kindly)

1. It would be non-profit. (nintendo/gamefreak would have no monetary claim)
2. (continuing with the non-profit) It would be a fan made game, not as a claim to any other propriety, but moreover as a tributary to the series.

Now, I know that making a game that is trade marked is probably (is) frowned upon here, and I'm sorry if I upset everyone by this being that this is my first post. I do not however intend to give up trying to make a video game if this goes to the wayside, just however my ambition will be more luke warm so to speak...

Now, I would really apreciate everyone's feeback, I will do my best to explain the story, structure, and type of game it would be.

Now, the story...

The player takes the role of a trainer, unlike the original series, where the trainer assumes a generic male or female character, the player chooses one of four unique characters with their own story, as well as their own pokemon pre determined...

The To-Be-Trainers are:

Isa- Down to earth, nature loving, hiker enthusiast.
Female. 12. Short to Medium height. Thin.

Dez- Surfer champ, fun loving, spur of the moment tyep.
Male. 13. Short to Medium height. Athletic.

Brent- Loner, smoldering temper, quit but eye catching.
Male. 15. Medium to Tall height. Thin to Athletic.

Sigi- New kid, easy to energize, full of emotion, eager
Male or Female (Still trying to decide, may become either choice). 13. Medium height. Thin.

Each of these characters chooses a pokemon from a young Professor Oak (which at this time, is just a student, and has just came back from an unexplored island, where he has captured several rare pokemon).

Isa= Bulbasuar. Dez= Squirtle. Brent= Charmander. Sigi= Pikachu.

As Oak is returning from the trip, a duo from Team Rocket (one of which we learn is Giovanni) who try to steal the pokemon for profit. At this occurance (whomever you have chosen) happens accross this event in which one of the pokeballs happens to roll out from Oak's bag near you, in order to save Oak you use the pokemon to fend off Team Rocket.

And so the tale begins...

Alright, that clears up a lot, thank you :)

Now, on to a bigger question. Who would be interested in helping me make one? I know nothing about coding (though, I see that there is a lot of help here that I definitely will be looking into ;) ).

I'm an artist, and concept is my candy so to speak, I am also a writer (among many other things...) So, all I would need for it to happen would be programmers to help me make the game by
a- Doing it themselves (or)
b- Helping a computer retard (no offense, that's just my level) to understand coding.

I also have a few other question...

Does anyone know which program would be best for making a pokemon like game?

I just downloaded pokemon essentials, and it's already a lot to take in. I will be putting up the story, and what I would like to get out of it, sometime soon (10 hour work day - kill ambition :( ).

Thanks for all of the help already guys :)

Forums aren't the place to discuss your game. On this site you would make a game profile, but you need to have something to show off first.

Your question was answered so this thread would normally wither into obscurity. Unless you have further questions about the main topic.

Look at the other pokemon games on the site, some of them are made that PKMN essentials things, too.

Apologies if I crossed a line with this. Unintentional. But I was asking if people thought that the story would make for a good game. (that being a question.)
And I have a few more questions to throw out there that I keep running into, such as...

Does RPG Maker XP allow for multi-player interaction? (for player to player battles and trading) Or for co-op quests? Having the game be multiplayer, or a part set aside for it, would be an enhancement, but that's just an idea.

So, in all, sorry if I 'kept walking the sidewalk, though the sidewalk has ended', but I'm new, sorry :(

Not really, I just downloaded the trial to see how I would take to it. I have the PlayStation RPG maker, but it was limited in memory and difficult with text and impossible to customize. I may look into ace when the trial runs out. If it has online capabilities then I definitely will be looking into it pending price. This is a passive hobby (I've got several others...) And am not (sadly) made of money.

I'll be looking into it ;)
