Having trouble!

I think i am screwing up around the step where you open both pictures in paint and copy the one onto the other. When i try and import my picture it says it is not indexed, but i can import the picture that looks wrong (the one that i changed the RBGs of)

does anyone know how i can fix this? i really want to put gen 4 evolutions in my ruby hack!

Does anybody know why the sprite turns back to the ? with the name "?????????"

I chose the ??? type (curse) in poke edit pro so it may be why it's causing problems. Also I overwrite poocheyana.

For anyone having trouble with this method, download the advance series pack and use the sprite editor, it is much easier. I managed to take 10 pokemon front/back/shiny sprites and put them all in my rom in under an hour

Took me about a day to put 3 sprites (MissingNo. GHOST (red/blue/yellow) and a special joke pokemon I'll keep to myself. ;) )

I was wondering.. Can you have a different pallete for the front sprite and a different pallete for the back sprite?

Great job this actually worked....

But still only 25 pokemon can be added huh?

That should be useful... :)

I just started putting my own stuff in FR Rom and it's going well, but a big problem I have is I'll put my own original starters in to replace bulba and the others, then when I start new game to test it out, the game freezes right as I walk out of my house, or out of oaks lab, or when I open the start menu, or after everything... T-T
What's going on?? :/

Hey, I know you asked this almost two months ago and probably won't see this, but for anybody else having this problem, don't use paint. The windows 7 version dosen't seem to like lower colour depths. Instead use something like photoshop, fireworks, or gimp.

So I fallowed the steps and my sprite got glitched up. There are no other problems game wise. Its a fire red rom and I do not know if it makes any difference but when it first turned out this way I did the whole thing again and it still did not work. Any idea what I did wrong??

I really wish we could add Pokedex entries to the new Pokemon but oh well. BTW, does anyone know where I can get 64x64 versions of Pokemon from Gen 4?

EDIT: Ingame, my pokemon keeps the background colour and he is missing his outline. How do I fix that?

I think i am screwing up around the step where you open both pictures in paint and copy the one onto the other. When i try and import my picture it says it is not indexed, but i can import the picture that looks wrong (the one that i changed the RBGs of)

does anyone know how i can fix this? i really want to put gen 4 evolutions in my ruby hack!

I think paint in W7 makes it 256 colour again, screwing up the whole process. I tried decreasing the colour depth again but ingame it showed up weird(having the pink background, and no outline).
