Haia,
About the hack. Dont take it hard but im getting the feeling that you want it realy quick, but we are talking about a hack. So why dont you send me your list of events in a file what should happen in the beginner town to me and i change it a bit and send it to you so we have a good storyline. Then i can begin scripting in the beginner town.
My ideas beginner town:
you go outside and wild picka attacks you. Friend/rival helps you and ctaches picka, he gives to you cuz you dont have a poke and its dangerous without poke .
I got a small and nice beginner town if you dont mind, what do you think of it?

Btw, today is my first day school since a while and this week is introduction, but i will tell you this. when i get it too busy on school i wont be much on the hack. School is 1st place and hack is only a hobby, i try to work on the hack every day but it wont be always possible srry.
I'd love to make a hack with you as hacking partner so we may not give up ^^
