I was writing this when I found out the thread was archived, and the app I use keeps unsent posts around so I fished my response out of the archive:

That wouldn't fly as a commertial game. Mario Maker was an obvious choice since you can quickly play a single level, but RPGs require much more playtime and creation time.
What you're looking for is a custom pokemon engine that doesn't suck like Essentials and works on the 3ds. I don't recommend the RPG Makerish style you're suggesting, since it's simply unnecessary. Just learn the basics of coding, you fatass.
To be honest, I'd love for such an engine to exist. Been considering making it myself but I know I never will.

Now please stop pushing your shitty idea and make gaem. >>/vp/heg >>/vg/agdg

It wouldn't work on the scale he suggested, but a sprite-swap, map editor, encounter editor, speech editor etc should work and be pretty simple. I imagine it would only go through gens 1 - 3 due to gen 4 and V having more unique buildings and architecture, but having the ability to place any pre-existing mons in a custom region would be perfectly doable.

I'm unsure whether you're talking about an official game or a custom engine, but I'll answer both:
As an official game, pokemon is already tedious and repetitive for most of it's players. Allowing people to make and publish tons of low-quality custom fangames will only make that feeling grow exponentially. I'd really love more fan-generated content in the official games, such as the wifi battle mode in unova's subway and secret bases, but this is not it.
As for a custom engine, really all you need to do is to implement a simple RPG overworld with the absolute basics (make it look/behave like gen3), a battle engine, implement all the items, and find a way to import and convert the data from the original games, to get stats, movesets, sprites, maps and so forth. Since assets are copyrighted you'll need a method to extract them on runtime, but that should be doable. Give the dev the option of just creating his own assets/data on top of the barebones game and an easy way to edit all of it, and program scripts/events and such.
Might take a year for a single person, I'm sure, but it's definitely doable. Start from Gen3, work your way up/down the gens with implementing their different gimmicks and extracting assets as you see fit.
Would be really nice if done by someone competent.
