Hi there! I was just looking for some advice...

While browsing the inter webs I came across this forum, I didn't even realize it was a pokemon place until after I registered, hehe. Anyway, I was wondering if there was a simple way or a way at all, with any of the 2d game engines out there to create "mmorpg style" character customization.

You know, change hair, eyes, clothes, etc. What ever options including skills, attributes, all the way to starting weapon.

Or do I have to use python? lol!

I only bother to ask here because the community seems nice from the posts I've read, and you all seem knowledgeable about this subject. :)

Btw, this seemed to be a pretty difficult string of words to search for, lol. I have tried the forum search to no avail. Sorry if it's a repost or unrelated to pokemon gaming. ;d

Yeah, with some scripting/programming knowledge it's easily possible. There are even some ready-made scripts for this kind of thing; for example, if you're using RPG Maker XP, try searching rmxp.org for 'visual equipment script'. This should easily get you what you want.
But if I were you, I'd learn some scripting/programming anyway (as you said, such as Python). It will really help when you're making a game, no matter what kind of game it is or what software you use. In fact, one of the first scripts I made for my game was a character customisation system very similar to what you're describing; this just proves that it's not very hard. So go for it!

Thanks for the reply! I'll check into that. Any more information would be greatly appreciated! :)

I did what Wichu recommended and I found this.

It will probably require some scripting to make it work.

You could always use eclipse... but that engine isnt very good if you ask me, it allows you to paperdoll things (customise with different clothes).
