I personally think the idea of conversion is insane. Do we *want* to be in development forever? As is with RPGMakerXP and PokeEssentials we have *everything* we need to make a vanilla game, we just have to add our stuff onto it, you're talking about remaking literally *everything* from the ground up.
To emphasis the point, all you need to remake, say, Fire Red, is the maps and events. That's it. To use this to do the same, we'd need maps, events, and thousands upon thousands of lines of (probably buggy) coding just to get the previous two to work, let alone actual battles and whatnot.
EDIT: Also you all talk of "The Programmer" but I ask you "What programmer?" We don't have a programmer. And yeah, this mythical programmer might know it better *if he sticks around long enough to do anything more than the framework.*
