Wouldn't advise a side scroller for a 1st game attempt... there's ALOT less free/illegaly ripped graphics available and it's unlikely that you'll be able to form a team big/experianced enough to make your own.
also start with single players to start with imo. 1st time MMO's never become populated enough to be worth playing but some single player games turn out amazingly.
at the end of the day it boils down to how much blood sweat and time you're willing to devote, nothings impossible, just improbable.
