RPG Maker Forums

So, I purchased a copy of RPG Maker XP to make Pokemon fan games and share them among the Pokemon fan game making community. I was really having fun learning about how Nintendo codes their games, but the Pokemon Essentials wiki got taken down recently, and I've decided that I'm tired of making fan games. I want to make and showcase my own stuff so that I'm free from the threat of having my games removed.

I like making Pokemon fan games, though, and I like a lot of the game mechanics. What do I need to watch out for when making my own games if I want to use some of the mechanics of a Pokemon game, like turn-based battling and quest based game play? How can I make a game with similar mechanics if source code for the games in question is copyrighted? How far does source code copyright go? How can I make sure my games are completely legal?
