Sorry, I wasn't able to reply to this in quite a while, but I have a question about the space in the ROM.
I've decided to say forget FSF because it will always give me space, but when I use those pointers the sprite comes out all corrutped, so for the backsprite's image I'll use 00x800000 for that part, but I'm never sure how many lines of data it will take up depending on the sprite's amount of bytes. So, for the palette I ended up jumping to 00x810000. That works, but I will end up leaving a ton of empty space unused.

So, my question is how would I determine now many lines of hex I will be using up, corresponding to the amount of bytes for the image I'm using. I don't need help with how much space the palette is going to take though.

Nice tutorial =D This will certainly help me if I would add custom Pokémon!

(Notice: At step 10 you wrote: "Add ten to it and right it down." Shouldn't it be "write"? O_O Sorry, just noticed :P)

Okay, I have one MAJOR error... Still!
I followed all the steps exactly in Emerald and put my new mon in the slot after Celebi AKA 252.
THAT sprite is normally 2 questions marks... And when I add the new monster, my sprite doesn't show up, just the ??'s!
It added the sprite in properly and everything works ie no glitches, corruption or lag etc... My sprites just aren't appearing! And yes, I did do the PokeEdit step to change the offset to mine T_T
Any suggestions??? I think I'm having the same error as willj016 was, but no luck correcting it...

Can i have some help with this i'm trying to put Lopunny in my Emerald

I did all the steps this tutorial said and i used the slot after Celebi

I decreased the image size to 64x64 i did everything but once i tried encountering it the game froze before it even showed the sprite

so far i only did the front sprite i have added no animations or any other sprites just the front

i didn't add any other pokemon as this is my first attempt so far and it has also corrupted my Emerald save(thank goodness for back ups)

can someone help me with this because Lopunny(probably Garchomp too) is the only Pokemon i plan on adding to the game

The transparent colour must be the first colour in the palette. So if the Pokémon has a pink background, the first colour in the palette must be pink.

The tutorial is a bit outdated with Advanced Series out, though. tpravetz, if you're still maintaining this, you should probably add a section on using A-Series rather than IconED and UnLZ-GBA.

no, sorry about this, but if you want to add any new pokemon to emerald, you will need 64x128 image, 2 frames of one pokemon since emerald has animation

Or use Advanced Pokémon Sprite Editor instead. It's faster and easier to use than unLZ-GBA (and doesn't require indexed sprites).

I had an issue... I tried to replace Bulbasaur with a pokemon, if I chose that one as my starter from oak's table, all the people sprites dissapear and the game freezes. If I choose squirtle and rival gets 'bulbasaur' this happens:

anybody know how in the world I did this? (or how to fix it?)

Poke Edit Pro won't work for me. When i try to open it it says Component 'comdlg32.ocx' or one of it's dependacies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid.
