If you are using a graphic style, keep away from RTP. There are MANY graphic styles where you could find a battler that is EXACTLY like you want him to look like. RTP is for the people who are not creative enough to make something on their own, it's for people that are too lazy to make something on their own. Reason enough? If you want somebody to play your game, for God's sake, don't use the RTP. Use ANYTHING, but the RTP.
Look at this topic here:
http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,6658.0.htmlIs he using RTP? No. His graphics might look a lot worse than the RTP graphics, but I would rather play his game than any 100% RTP game. I ask you once more: Reason enough? This makes my previous statement very valid:
He's just plain better because he isn't RTP.
If you want to use RTP battlers and characters in your game, go on. I won't hinder you. But don't be surprised if nobody plays your game.
