Okay, few questions.
1. How far are you on this? I see you said it'll only take a couple of weeks to get it to testers, so have you gotten most of the CBS done? I'm pretty good with event scripts and all that it consists of, but if I sat down every day for four hours, it'd probably take me a month at the very least to program a doable CBS, with stats and such. It's easier to do a starter kit cause people can input there own pokemon and stats when they get it, but you still obviously have to do a couple for examples and tests.
2. What do you mean does anybody oppose you not releasing it after you make a game with it? I'm hoping I'm understanding it wrong or you worded it wrong or something, cause that's the whjole point o making a starter kit, for other people to use.
3. Not a question, but if I were you, I wouldn';t release this thing immediately. I know it sounds strange, but I'd get the starter kit done, then improve the graphic interface and menus and stuff, then I would write tutorials for important functions, such as the CMS, CBS, and stuff like pokemon stats, etc.
I know it might make everyone wait longer, get impatient, and would get you tired, but think, the starter kit's already finished, the worst that can happen is you get fed up with improving it and realease it, already finished. Maybe release the first one, and improve the things mentioned above for the total nOObs. Just my thoughts, I think this is what I'll do when I FINALLy finish liquid(oh, this game is taking forever).
Sounds like you know what you're doing though, unlike some people who jump right in to doing a starter kit.
Good Luck,

1.:I have almost the whole thing done in my head but when i posted that first thing i was being too optomistic, it will take me a bit longer (prolly a month to get to full version)
2.:I meant Not release it
until i make a game with it. Of course I'll release it at some point. wouldn't be much of a starter kit if noone could use it.
3.:Of course I'll tell people how to use it. I plan On making a fully featured, step by step guide with screenies(which will push the release date back a bit, but then it will be |\|008 friendly)
UPDATE:
Yesterday i finished the technical skeleton for the menu, which was one of the longest parts to do so I'm well on my way here. I haven't started today's work whic will probaly be some of the graphics tgat I can't get elsewhere(i gotta sprite 'em myself) Oh and it looks like if you don't understand the guide, you won't know how to add your own pokemon so when it comes out, READ THE GUIDE FULLY
Thanks for pushing me along guys I can't wait to release this and be elected Supreme Ruler :)
