What rubah said.
I used to have dreams of creating my own games from scratch, but I know better now. Even if you program everything you need (itself an extremely tall order), there's always the little question of the art and sounds/music...
Learn basic programming, and if you (still) want to get program games, you might want to try joining an open-source development team.
"...a challenge you can solve by leveling up isn't really a challenge. It's a test of patience and not really 'gameplay' at all. Take for example some of the maniacal timed jumps you have to master in Super Mario 2, the Japanese version. If you could simply make yourself jump higher and fall slower by pounding on 10,000 goombas, this would completely circumvent all the design put into making the individual boards difficult. "
