I don't have DB Pro for much time, and I'm trying to put more work on making some 3d models, but i would like to start making a 2d RPG to learn some of DB's basics.
If some one could explain wich commands to use and all of the other necessary things...

The short answer is that you use ALL of them. Each command is used to solve a small problem. You combine commands to solve bigger problems. You then combine routines, loops, and functions to create a program.

You've got to read the manual or help files from beginning to end so you know what commands are available and how they can be used to solve problems.

After that, sit down and DESIGN your game. Break out the pencil and paper and write notes about game features, draw sketches of the user interface, and create charts that show events and features are related.

RPGs can be brutally complicated to create. I suggest starting with easier programs so that you can gain experience in writing commands and logic structures, displaying graphics, organizing data, etc.

I have already read the manual, but what i understood about sprites is that their location is only in the screen space, and I can understand how can I make someting like a big town or trees that the caracter won't walk over their logs... is there a tutorial were i can take some ideas and learn a bit about making 2d games?

Search about the forums, especially the 2D section. Also, check out the great big RPG tutorial in the Work in Progress section.
