Im very new to developing games and such, my goal is to make an interactive 2d image/text based RPG (almost like the pokemon game) game where you use "skills" to beat opponents. I am not sure where to start and I have no programming experience what so ever. I need help deciding which language to learn and where I go from there into building such a game. Any kind of information I can get would be helpful, thank you so much.

To be as politically correct as possible: Start out by learning C#. You could then move on to use C# and XNA for prototyping your 2D game.

Or start with python and then learn pygame. Or better, choose whatever _you_ like and not what others tell you. Also, more importantly read the stickies and older topics about this. I mean, really, read the stickies!
