Are images back, or are those some sort of text? Anyway, I camt do anything pokemon related, but I'll look foward to the results.

It may be laggy but I have gotten close with pokemon granite gray and it is not just me I have a team behind me

My team and I are going to make it in parts and the animations don't need to be the best

no like the trainer won't look like its walking

I won't do scrolling, the map will switch based on arrows so stop bugging me about this

That's not my point. Tons of users, especially new ones, have tried this, and then ask for a whole group of members and without any experience whatsoever, say that they will make the best pokemon game on Scratch. It just won't work. Scratch will crash from all those sprites. Sure, if Scratch had sprite duplication, instances, and was a lot stronger, you MIGHT be able too. But it doesn't. You'll find out yourself soon enough.

This.

And if you want to make your OWN pokemon game, you and your team can go hack a game. Like, hack fire red and make your own game. For example, theres rijonAdventures. A hack of fire red made into a totally different region. More info on Pokecommunity or google on how to hack. Don't use Scratch. It wont work. Trust me.

Mooster, I'm sorry, but a game of the scale of Pokemon simply won't work on a programming medium such as Scratch. It's simply not powerful enough. For instance, the game cannot store the variables for saving, if you want to quit and turn it back on.
Even if you attempted to do it in parts, how would one part be able to import your trainer and Pokemon etc., exactly the same as they were in the previous part?

I have added saving to a game before but I used a code so basically once something happened you got a new save code so can everyone stop posting how it won't work and just post trainer ideas on this forum 

Did that game have the myriad variables that Pokemon does? To effectively have a savegame, you need all of this data:

- Trainers Location
- All Bag Items
- Trainer Card Info (Number of badges, time played etc.)
- Pokemon Party Data (This includes type of Pokemon, level, experience, stats, moveset)
- All the Pokemon in the PC
- Events Activated
- Pokedex Data

Your code system cannot work. It would need an infinite number of different save codes to represent different states of the game, as basically no two save files are the same. The Pokemon games have each of these a set of variables which are overwritten every time you save. Scratch can't do this, so it is basically impossible to create a Pokemon game with any level of depth to it. Everyone is telling you that it won't work for a reason. It's not casting aspersions on your programming skills, as we would tell Archmage and RHY it is impossible as well. It's only an attempt to save you from attempting an impossible task.
