ok, just how many tiles are you allowed to have in a tileset for one of the tile modes? I have about 200 already and i just wanted to know how many more i can have before i go and make a billion more..

1024 in 256colors.
2048 in 16colors.
Notes:
-For every map you use, you lose 32tiles in 256colors, 64 in 16colors.
-A map can't access more than 1024tiles (unless some hardware tricks).
-You can have has many tiles as you'd like (given it fits inside a 8megs cartridge), What's important is how many tiles are loaded at any given moment. You can just load dynamicly the one you need.

oh one more thing, i hear there are two palettes, one for sprites and one for bg's. the sprite one can be either 256 color or 16 separate 16 color palettes.. does the same apply for the backgrounds? i'm just asking because i'm trying to figure out how i'm going to do something before i go and do it

That depends on the mode you are using. Using scale/rotate bgs you can only use one palette of 256 colors. Regular text bgs can use 256 color or sixteen palettes of 16 colors.
