BFAPRP: Big Fat Ambitious Pokemon Remake Project- Help Wanted!

Hello! I'm looking for help on a level I've been working on and off for over a year and a half now. It's taken a lot of effort and it's now pretty ambitious, definitely one of the most ambitious in LBP. What level is it?
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/4c/Pok%C3%A9mon_box_art_-_Gold_Version.png
I thought I would have seen this done on LBP earlier, but since it didn't show up, I decided to make a Pokemon Game myself, based in the Johto region of Pokemon Gold and Silver, but with an independent story. You might have seen similar concepts on LBP2 with underwhelming results, but don't write me off yet! Take a look at some features (screens are of a work in progress and have very basic graphics):

You own sackboy starts here in his/her bedroom. You can move around with L3 or in 4 axes using the dpad. You can interact with the world, pressing X on that black block for example to examine it. Walk up to the exit and press O to exit the building or in this case, go down a floor.

http://ic.lbp.me/img/ft/69c2c440f7d02dbcf5fe732f6cd7f94853b5c37b.jpg

Here you can see a 'X' indicator telling you how to go up a floor (and enter buildings). You can also see your Mom in the lower left, one of the many NPCs you can talk to and accept tasks from. What they say and do can change depending on your
progress.

Now we're outside and see the starting city, New Bark Town, with more NPCs to talk to. Keep in mind traversing through different towns and buildings is already fully functional and occurs seamlessly without loading. Next we move into a route full of wild Pokemon, leading inevitably to Pokemon Battles!
You may have already seen this from JAYHAWK_ER's awesome level:

http://ib.lbp.me/img/ft/0cb61a7e8bfc42552b8304ae9720a9519807df75.jpg

His level started with this single fight and ended when you won. It had just one Pokemon to fight and another to fight with, with just a few moves programmed.
Here's what my version currently looks like:

http://ib.lbp.me/img/ft/06b844137ffe3d383572a0c1d8c675aa06670366.jpg

In my level, you can play, win, lose, and run from an infinite number of Pokemon battles after walking into tall grass on the overworld. You may fight a variety of different Pokemon using many different moves spanning every elemental type. You'll want to use Thunderbolt on the Water-type Pokemon Totodile!
When you aren't battling, you can open your menu and select which Pokemon so start battles with etc. Did I mention you can catch new Pokemon, too?

http://i5.lbp.me/img/ft/355e795971df7f5d9eb460f372410517434207b4.jpg

This is the prototype PC menu. Here you can access all the Pokemon you currently have caught, visible at the top, and choose which to put in your party in any order you choose. The hidden panels at the top indicate Pokemon you have not yet captured.

http://ib.lbp.me/img/ft/d4b3d4a3899c529fff139e8ac01dc52946e8522e.jpg

This is CherryGrove City, where you can see more NPCs and the story gets more interesting.

http://i2.lbp.me/img/ft/dd2ded9b774c7e51a4b8c759feb8992a9badaf61.jpg

Here is one of the many Pokemon Centres where you can heal your injured Pokemon and access the PC.

http://i5.lbp.me/img/ft/0a50ff185772f7e7a3d19d6e9bfa06a6367b9022.jpg

Now we're in Violet city, about to enter the Sprout Tower.

http://i3.lbp.me/img/ft/f83fede58e21d0ff747842290f188de6f9bcd7e2.jpg

http://i1.lbp.me/img/ft/fa15abe03bb25910f582296318dc72d688e276db.jpg

Talk to the guy in red to initiate a Trainer battle where you fight multiple Pokemon consecutively.
Finally, can you guess what the last screenshot is?

http://i6.lbp.me/img/ft/0b6a29d5dbe001b9b46502d00973914f9f4591e9.jpg

I've made a lot of the level, but there's still lots to do and I am worried that LBP could be a lot quieter by the time it's ready . I really want to see this level published, and that's why I'm looking for help!

Here of some jobs I would currently love some help with:

- Logic input for various Pokemon
Each Pokemon is similar under the hood, but there are variations when it comes to attack damage, elemental resistances and miss rates. This job doesn't require any logic expertise, I just need someone who doesn't hate the sight of circuitboards and tweak menus. The majority of what you would be doing is changing the percentage values on batteries.

- Objects
You can tell by screens that my level currently looks a little bare. I'd like someone to make small objects like trees, bookcases, PCs, statues and the like.

- Attack Effects
http://ic.lbp.me/img/ft/13c3982caea6cb2f4790a3545ce0a73f56be1205.jpg
Look, it's Flamethrower! I'm looking for someone to make simple effects for other moves like Waterfall and Earthquake.


And these are some jobs which are less fundamental but will make the level more awesome!

- Music
Are you good with music. I'm looking for some tracks for use in towns, routes, buildings and battles, which would replace my current placeholder ones. (I've already got some pretty good music for the battle theme and Pokecentre, but if you made a cool tune I'd happily replace them). I'm not really looking for remakes of official tracks form Pokemon games, and I don't want techno/ 8-bit style songs. Looping songs that are natural/ orchestral/ catchy songs would be excellent!

- Back illustrations for various Pokemon
I currently have a friend of mine who has made some rather excellent 'sprites' of various Pokemon (http://lbp2.me/v/7ejysz), and have used them in my level for wild Pokemon. For wild Pokemon he hasn't made in LBP, i use a webcam to take snaps of images from the internet, which works quite well. However, for back sprites (used for your own Pokemon), the only ones I can find all look like this
http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/5/54/Spr_b_5b_004.png
These are very low res and look pixelly when used in my level. Therefore I would appreciate any contribution of your own. Back sprites are in highest demand but front sprites would be cool too. I don't mind whether use the sticker creator or make an image out of material (then use the in-game screen capture tool), but try to keep it the same quality as those seen in the LBP.me link above, or in your own funky style if you want.

Please let me know if you want to get involved!

No problem dude, thanks for the kind words! I have trouble making time for creating myself, but I'm pushing myself because I don't want this to become another abandoned level.

Thanks dude. Like I said, I'm thinking actual logic work will be minimal but you could help with changing around battery percentage values .
Send me your PSN ID via PM if you want.
