I was thinking of using decorated pop up messages, but I'm not so sure anymore. What's a way in which I don't need a different background/sprite for every piece of dialogue in the game and isn't incredibly advanced?
thanks,

Well, the advanced ones give you great customization in only a couple scripts and usually only one object.
Basic ones usually require several objects with each one representing a certain NPC conversation.
Have you tried IsmAvatar's site? (In the Affiliate's section at the bottom of the main page.) She has a chat example, and a dialogue box script. They might help you get a better idea of what you want, and can work with.

I just read it...it's very...complicated...I think I MAY do decorated pop up messages, then for my next game or later in this game I'll use a better method.

Affiliates section isn't at the bottom of the Q&A forum; only community-related forums.
Anywhom, about the complexity, the most complex part is the arrays and loops. Of which I also have a tutorial (tho nothing to brag about) on my site as well.
The scroll-bar can add a bit of complexity as well, but it's easy to take out if you don't want it.

I use a totally other system for text messages.
I have a script I made that does everything for me, I just need to define the variable "text" and let it execute the script,and my script does all the rest.
