Question

How do I actually create a Pokemon game on my PC?

Community Answer

To create the actual game, you need to learn general programming skills. You need to learn a particular programming language and then apply what you've learned to build your game. Some programming languages you could look are Python, PHP, Ruby, or JavaScript.

Question

Can I make a game on a laptop?

Community Answer

Yes, you can. I would recommend using RPG Maker XP, but it does cost money, so be prepared to pay about $20-$30.

Question

How can I create a Pokemon game on an iPod?

Andriy Kuzmenko

Community Answer

Download a programming language on your iPod. Java is a good example for a programming language because It's easy to learn, is quite advanced, it's not that old either (from 1995, but compare to a language from 1956), it's easy to edit your project after finishing. Best of all, it's free. Some computer programming languages cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars which makes it really hard for programmers .

Pokémon Time would be a good name. Past, Present, and future are times. So time is probably the best choice.
