Personally, I’d recommend Gamemaker Studio 2. The visual scripting requires a tiny understanding of code, but nothing you can’t pick up through youtube. It’s quick, easy, and doesn’t use actual coding, while helping you build an understanding of it. It has a free version, so you don’t have to sink cash into it right away. a good pixel art editor that’s free is Piskel, you can use it online. For music, Beepbox.co is great. Making a game can be hard, but if you really want to make it I think that this would be a great starting point.

Good luck on your gamedev journey, and I hope you have a great day.

If they do use Gamemaker Studio 2, a good alternative to Pokemon Essentials would be Yal's Monster Collector Engine.  It does cost money, but unlike Essentials allows for commercial use.
