I want to make a Pokemon fangame using Pokemon Essentials, and hide redpills in it while adding some good waifumons to the game, too. I was planning a redpilled Pokemon fanfic, but then I realized I can do more with a fangame than I could do with a fanfic, and I could easily make that fangame more popular than a fanfic could ever be. But I need RPG Maker XP to make anything with Pokemon Essentials, and that costs $25/£18.99.
I could torrent it, but I hear there's a way to look at a fangame's code and check if it was made by a torrented or legitimately bought and activated copy, and posting games made by torrented copies is bannable on many RPG Maker sites. I'm a poorfag living in poverty, and as long as nothing goes wrong for the next few months, I should be able to afford it in about four months.
Would it be tacky if I made a kickstarter for this game, just to buy RPG Maker? And what should I give to backers? Cameos as random trainers? A spot in a special backer-only Pokemon Gym-like area in the postgame?

Damn it, meant to post a cropped version.
Anyway, the region's planned out, every town is named and its purpose in the game is solidified, I've sprited 50 out of 120 original Pokemon so far, and the accessible but powerful introductory redpills will be many. I'm also thinking of adding two new types to this game, but I have yet to decide what those types will be called or if they'll have any special significance in the way Fairy did in Gen 6.

Yes. It's pretty niche already, but you're adding pokemon and mlp into the mix. Unless you manage to consolidate both demographics, then you might make the game more inclusive.

I'm only giving this game redpilled politics subtly woven into the usual "Fight an evil region and save the world while searching the land and finding rare Pokemon and beating the eight gyms" story. I want to redpill kids with this and do my part. I've seen enough videos about good and bad game design to know how to make a good game, and the tutorial series on RPG maker XP looks simple. Defining new Pokemon, creating new areas, all of this will be easy.
No MLP. For now. Do you think I should put MLP into this? I'd be willing to add one NPC-only original Pokemon for each backer's cameo appearance, and "Ponymon Dusk and Dawn" already proved pony Pokemon can work.

Can be done. Should I give her a modified Scrappy ability, so she can hit Flying-type Pokemon?

The moment you start to collect money they will plant you a nice Cease and Desist. Use your effort for an original game better.
An idea for an original game is a Metroidvania ambiented in a 1984 and Brave New World-like dystopia, where your Main Character is a guy that fell from a ship exploring Antarctica in the late 1940s, was somehow cryogenized by Antarctican ice and reappears 120 years later, in late 2060s in a surprisingly big Antarctica city.
He finds a world where he's basically the only one who isn't vigilated 24/7 by the World State, isn't in the World database and, as such, The AI (the world governor) doesn't have a plan and a carefully built routine for him. As you are quickly seen as a danger for the World Order, you are prompted to be eliminated.
So you have two options: embrace technology to deal with your inconveniences, or keep the way you are. The drawback is, the more you embrace technology, the more you must obey The AI's orders and become "one of them".

But using Pokemon Essentials would make it easy. I could finish it quickly enough to have the final version out before the C+D happens.

Pretty much this

Making a good fangame takes years.
A lawyer can have your C&D letter in 30 minutes if they use a template.

Like Pokemon Clover, a meme fest full of dumb decisions and bad memes? Like Pokemon Uranium, a bad story with bad "Nuclear" Pokemon?
I think I could have this game out in a single month.

Everybody think that, but soon you realize you need more people to do the effort needed even to make a bad game.
Unless you want to do one of those low effort Chinese platformers for Android

That depends if whether Kickstarter accepts UnionPay. I could send a few RMB your way. But yes, it's notoriously difficult to get a Nintendo fan-game ought without legal consequences. That Metroid fan game comes to mind.

I'd just put in a couple of references that only bronies would get, such as "20% cooler" and whatnot. Enough that bronies who happen to play would realize you also like ponies.
And yes, making a good game would take much longer than a month. Even if none of the mechanics change, you need to proof-read the dialogue, compose the music, and generally add the sort of loving detail that makes a game special.

That would be cool. It's like a cross of Deus Ex, Fallout, and System Shock. It's the sort of idea that could make a great book and be adapted into a good game.
