How to change starter Pokémon
Well looks like it's kinda confusing for some people to change the Starter Pokémon in a R/S/E game.
So here's a short tutorial on how to do it.
Requirements: R/S/E-Rom, Hex-Editor, Pokémon list (see below), Emulator.
Offsets:
- Ruby (DE) : 403BF0
- Sapphire (DE) : 403B5C
------------------------
- Ruby (US) : 3F76C4
- Sapphire (US) : 3F771C
- Emerald (US) : 5B1DF8
(Note: All offsets are Hex.)
1) Load your rom in your favorite Hex-Editor.
Then go to the offset for your ROM which is stated above.
2) Now you should see 3 2-byte values.
Those are the Pokémon bytes for the Starters.
3) Change these values to the Pokémon you want to have as starters. (See the list below for the bytes and the Pokémon they represent.)
In my example I changed Treeko, Mudkip and Torchic to Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle.
4) Now save your changes and preview your new masterpiece in the Emulator.
Congrats!
You have successfully changed the Starter Pokémon with a Hex-Editor.
Now here's the list of the Pokémon and their bytes.
