You reported and fixed what? Also, I am completely making a brand-new game from scratch. I am not using pre-existing templates.
But the thing is you're using the game as a base. To do what, exactly? This all is incredibly vague, and coming from a ten post guy who joined like two weeks ago. We've seen people try this and fail absolutely miserably. Are you planning to make an entire RPG using the materials in the Pokemon ROM? Are you planning a complete revamp of the Pokemon game, such as
this hack in particular? If you're doing the latter, you're not going to be able to profit off of that because it uses the Pokemon system as an established base. In the case of that Tower Defense game you mentioned, that was made completely from scratch but with the copyrighted sprites thing, which could be dragged into court and all. What you are asking is using preestablished material as a base for your new ROM, which you want to profit off of, which is illegal. The material in PTD is created from scratch in a sense, if you get what I mean lol. If you can find a way to scratch make a game all the power to you, but what it sounds like is you want the stuff in the Pokemon ROM, which is not okay to do and profit from.
I understand you have ideals that you would want to see realized, but it just isn't feasible if you are looking to make profits. Not to mention, it's wrong as well, given the context I'm inferring here. I'm part of the small group that approves these hacks to make a separate topic, and right now what I am seeing is not promising. I'd suggest taking a look at Romhacking.net or something to get started with some tools (you may or may not find what you are looking for) but it's a start. You've barely outlined anything that you want to do. Simply saying "Oh I want to make a whole new game" does not really give us anything to work off of, you know? I'm not trying to be a dick here, but I'm trying to get you to see reality. Making a whole new game isn't as simple as you seem to think it is, and I think you're failing to understand the gravity of your request. Just my two cents in the pot.
