I've found free game making programs and really expensive ones, but I haven't a clue how to use them because I don't now anything about coding and stuff. The only game-making word I know is "sprite" but I don't even know what a sprite is When I see that word what pops up in my head is those guys from Harvest Moon!
I think Pokemon is the easiest to hack, because there is many programs to use for the games I'm looking forward to your version ;D
