How to make intro scenes

I know how to make scenes like people talk aroun walk but i want to black screen appear and it shows something like Intro ya know, like simple white text on black background but without using any pictures!
How to do that, and please least scripting possible!
TY
 
Using an event would probably be the best or this because eventing or not it has to show a black background using a picture that is black. All you have to do really is make is how a black picture in the background then change it so the windowskin is hidden that way there will be white text on a black background! Another way you can do it without a picture on the event is change the screen color tone to black for 200 frames and then have the intro, if the intro is long and the tone goes back to normal just change the color tone every several seconds although a picture would be the best way.
 
Set the initial party so its empty.  Have the starting location appear on a completely blank map.  You could then use show text command and use change text options to hide the window.  Simple white on black.  If you use the Universal Messaging Script you can change the size of the text box space to hold more text at a time.

The color a scene gets cleared to before drawing is black. No need to make a picture filled with black. Some psuedo code for Svamenzi

Code:
class Scene_Intro
  def main
    @texting_sprite = Sprite.new
    @texting_sprite.bitmap = Bitmap.new(width, height)
    loop do
      Graphics.update
      Input.update
      update
      break if $scene != self
    end
    @texting_sprite.bitmap.dispose
    @texting_sprite.dispose
  end
  
  def update
    # Draw text to the texting sprite bitmap.
    # Break if text drawing is complete/input cancels intro.
  end
end
