I wouldn't mind being part of the Development Team for this project, but I wouldn't know where to begin or what to do. Maybe you can fill me in by a PM or something.

As for stages, is there some sort of sprite standard to follow? I've noticed that most of the stages seem to stick with the Pokemon style of simple colours and bright sprite styles.

I also would be glad, if I could be officially part of the Development Team as well. I'm a big fan of the POKéMON games since POKéMON Red Edition, which was one of the very first games I have ever played, and even on an actual Gameboy Advance (the other first game is Super Mario Land).
Well...that, and I'm contributing as well.

In other news, I already gathered a a small list of moves, which Togetic can use through Metronome. It isn't finished yet, but I already have decided that it will be one move from every type. Question marks mean that I haven't decided on a move from that type, so I would like your opinion that.
Anyway, here is the list:
Substitute (Normal)
Ember (Fire)
Whirlpool (Water)
Bullet Seed (Grass)
Infestation (Bug)
Aurora Beam (Ice)
Thunder Shock (Electritrc)
Sky Uppercut (Fighting)
Rock Throw (Rock)
Earth Quake(Ground)
Wing Attack (Flying)
Sludge Bomb (Poison)
Psycho Shift/Psybeam/Synchronoise/Psywave (Psychic)
Shadow Sneak (Ghost)
Twister (Dragon)
Night Slash (Dark)
Flash Cannon (Steel)
Moonlight/Dazzling Gleam (Fairy)

Green=finished
Yellow=mostly finished, but needs some sounds and/or finetuning
Red=barely started
Brown=not completely sure about that choice

Fairy-type is there on the weakness/resistances chart, just not properly done.
I made Clefable Fairy on my game

P.S. Shadow Ball is Ghost-type
Dark Pulse might work, or Night Slash.

Here is the new list.

Metronome is always going to be a situational move, so the best way to approach this is to use moves that can work in any situation, although you have done well on that. Anyway, Dazzling Gleam will work best for Fairy due to personality and looks of the pokemon.

What's with the text in black? Are those moves you haven't begun to code yet?

I guess Night Slash will work best, since Critical Hits became part of the system, although I still need instructions from Txpot as to where the hell he got the Critical Hit Ratio values from.

Bulbapedia's website has something about critical hits: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Critical_hit
Basically, it has 5 levels between 0 and +4, with each level representing the chance of critical hits. My code uses the increments of levels and the double damage from Generation 2, while using the Random trigger to simulate the chance.
0 = 1/16 (6.25% chance, random <= 62)
+1 = 1/8 (12.5%, random <= 125)
+2 = 1/4 (25%, random <= 249)
+3 = 1/3 (33%, random <= 333)
+4 = 1/2 (50%, random <= 499)

Note that everyone starts at 0, and random goes from 0 to 999. I've only chosen +1 boosts for everything to try and balance it out, so my Honchkrow can only get a maximum critical boost of +2 under Night Slash and Super Luck.

Thunder Shock also has got Togetic's attack animation, but I haven't found an FX, that could fit Thunder Shock without looking too much like Thunder Wave.

Ah, okay. Thanks. Then, I guess the default Critical Hit Ratio is the one between 0 and +2 (have guessed them by looking at the ratios of your Shuckle).

EDIT: Okay, I have now finished a lot from Night Slash. The only big thing left is coding in the mist effect.
I basically have a big mist sprite (512x152), which has got the + in its center. What I want to do that the mist sprite moves slowly to a side, but without seeing that the sprite is cut off. In other words, I'm trying to use tiling outside of stage creation. What should I do?

[State Helper]
type = Helper
trigger1 = animelem = 3
stateno = 0000
name = "Mist"
helpertype = Normal
pos = 0,0
postype = back
facing = 1
ownpal = 1
ignorehitpause = 1

[State Helper]
type = Helper
trigger1 = animelem = 3
stateno = 0000
name = "Mist"
helpertype = Normal
pos = -512,0
postype = back
facing = 1
ownpal = 1
ignorehitpause = 1

[State Helper]
type = Helper
trigger1 = animelem = 3
stateno = 0000
name = "Mist"
helpertype = Normal
pos = 512,0
postype = back

ownpal = 1
ignorehitpause = 1

[State Explod]
type = Explod
trigger1 = animelem = 3
anim = 0000
pos = 0,0
postype = back
facing = 0
vel = 4,0
sprpriority = 5

[State Explod]
type = Explod
trigger1 = animelem = 3
anim = 0000
pos = -512,0
postype = back
facing = 0
vel = 4,0
sprpriority = 5

I can think of two ways to get the job done on that one:

1. If you're using a helper for the mist, and the helper IS the mist that's moving, you summon multiple helpers at the same time for the mist depending on how fast you want it to go, spreadding them out using "pos". Then you set the velocity of each one so that they all move in unison, and check to see if they're linked together properly. You may want to mess around with the positions a bit as it can get fiddly, but don't copy this code without editing part of it for your preference.

Code:

[State Helper]
type = Helper
trigger1 = animelem = 3
stateno = 0000
name = "Mist"
helpertype = Normal
pos = 0,0
postype = back
facing = 1
ownpal = 1
ignorehitpause = 1

[State Helper]
type = Helper
trigger1 = animelem = 3
stateno = 0000
name = "Mist"
helpertype = Normal
pos = -512,0
postype = back
facing = 1
ownpal = 1
ignorehitpause = 1

[State Helper]
type = Helper
trigger1 = animelem = 3
stateno = 0000
name = "Mist"
helpertype = Normal
pos = 512,0
postype = back
facing = 1
ownpal = 1
ignorehitpause = 1

2. If the helper spawns Explods of mist, then you have this one helper summon multiple Explods at the same time for the mist in the same way as Helper, but using "Vel" to set the velocities of the Explod.
