I remember this amazing Legion saga game where you go into your castle, up to a tower and outside of the tower was a woman who teleported you to places you've been already.
Thing is the menu looked like it was part of the default system, where you could scroll through more than 4 places like the show choice command but way bigger.
That would be so much easier than using a bunch of pictures for my game, If anyone knows how to add that, please enlighten me.

I can think of one options:
Make a map with a tileset featuring the names of the places( charsets for the names/letters work as well). Just make it look like that menu would look.
Make some picture to be used as frame, like put it over the map so the scrolling won't look so odd.
Make the hero a cursor and then only make it possible to move up and down. Using events on each side with the "Hero is facing up, hero is facing down" and "Event was started using the action button" would make it possible for scrolling downwards directly.
But you'd have to add one of them "Change screen transition" to "none" or "instant" (can't remember)
Now, pressing Up would teleport your hero to the event one tile up.
Pressing down will teleport you to the tile one tile down.
Pressing the action key would bring forth the question "Are you sure you want to teleport here?
If yes, teleport to desired destination, tint screen black, return screen transitions, change hero graphic and remove pictures. That should do the job.
No would just end the question event (action key pressed).
I hope it made a little sense anyway.
Although you'd have to add a new map, some events which makes you unavailable to travel to places you haven't been and then store the X,Y coordinates in a varaible so you can exit the teleport menu and go back to the tower.
