Let me ask you guys this: are you both 100% self-taught, or did someone get you started somewhere along the way? Did you ever read tutorials, or have questions answered by others? If the "if you have to ask, you'll never know" attitude truly has merit then how does anyone go about learning...

It's undeniable that Mudkip has the most utility of the three, but I've always had a soft spot for Torchic. It's just so adorable, and Blaziken was the OG Fire/Fighting type.

I go with Armaldo. Stats aside, I like physical attackers and I'm a sucker for bug pokemon.

The smart aleck answer would be "it reaches level 55," but honestly I have no idea. Some Pokemon evolutions are just weird. Look at Exeggcute to Exeggutor, Flaafy to Ampharos, Graveller to Golem (it goes from a pile of rocks to an organic thing...), etc. The Magikarp one is supposedly based...

Zigzagoon, since it can get Pickup. Adds to the utility and all that. Caterpie or Weedle?

I've been meaning to go back and play the original Metal Gear (the 1987 MSX2 one), but from what I hear it's hard as all heck. I've also recently played Deus Ex, and it has aged pretty well. It was a fun game with a good story, although the ending (the canon one) was a little out of left field.

I know almost nothing about competitive teams, but for Heart Gold my post-E4 team seems to be doing well (they're a theme team, bonus points for getting it): Heracross (The Pain) @Muscle Band -Guts -Adamant 1) Earthquake (by TM) 2) Close Combat 3) Megahorn 4) Stone Edge (by TM) Drapion (The...

I'm glad you caught the reference :P

I'm in the process of trying to learn asm. One cannot learn without some level of instruction first, and "good luck man" is kinda unhelpful :/ The only asm tutorials I've found are very basic syntax and inserting; nowhere have I seen how you go about locating an existing routine in the game...

So basically instead of having a limited number of uses for individual moves, this system would have some sort of mana equivalent and each move would deduct a certain number of TP from the poke's overall pool. While that is an interesting idea mod-wise, I wouldn't be a huge fan of using it in...

Does anyone know where in Emerald the data for the experience formula is located? I'd like to try implementing something like the Gen V exp gain system in Gen III, so I want to play around with the formula a bit.

I appreciate it, but that looks like the Fire Red one. I'm looking for the one he made for Emerald. EDIT: Nevermind, I found an Emerald decap done by dkp in the Rom Hacking Resources thread. I know I could and it wouldn't be difficult, but it would be incredibly time consuming. There's no...

Does anyone have a copy of the IPS for Wichu's Emerald decapitalization patch? The only link in existence is his link to 2Shared, which it seems is dead; I've looked, and it seems like no one else on the entirety of the internet has it hosted somewhere else.

A side effect of the patch is that all moves are treated as physical until you go through and hex-edit certain bytes (or use PGE) to reassign each individual move as physical, special, or status. The patch doesn't change each move, just the way the game handles them. See the explaination a few...

Yeah, doing something like that was my first thought. I've only dabbled in rom editing, and haven't done much with asm. Gotta learn some time I guess :P I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that the 0x08YYYYYY addresses are for the rom itself, so if I had to guess 0x02YYYYYY is RAM and 0x06YYYYYY...
