Introduction
I recall making a Title Skip script a few years ago... but that involved direct editing of the Scene_Title class. After creating my MapSwitch script, I felt like attempting to create a new title skip script WITHOUT directly editing the Scene_Title class.
We all know what a title skip script enables people to do. They're free to create their own creative intros and custom picture based title screens. What makes this script different than other Title Skip scripts, you may ask? Look at the features below!
Features
No direct editing of Scene_Title involved!
You can battle test. (Certain Title Skip scripts do not do this.)
You have the option of skipping to Scene_Debug instead of skipping to game during test play by setting PUNK_SKIP_TO_DEBUG to "true"
Screenshots

? ? Description: ?
? ?? We all know what a title skip can do. It skips the title screen! This ?
? enables the game creator to create his/her own intros. But what makes this?
? title skip script different than the others? Three things! ?
? For one, there is no direct scene_title editing involved. Two, you can ?
? battletest unlike other titleskips where they ignore battle testing. And ?
? finally, a brand new feature to the title skip script: the ability to skip?
? to the debug scene for testplay purposes! Cool, huh? ?

? ? Things to know about: ?
? ?? PUNK_SKIP_TO_DEBUG: A first time feature in title skip scripts for sure. ?
? When testing his/her project, the game creator can ?
? choose to skip to debug mode by setting the constant ?
? to 'true' or set it to false to proceed as normal ?
? (skipping to map). ?
