I don't understand... I was trying to insert this sprite I made from scratch:

DAGGOTH2.png


But when I find the pokemon in the wild, the screen just stays black...

You must have made some tiny hang up somewhere... :\
Mine is scratch too, and everything works, attacks and location etc, but my sprite is showing up as the ? mark missingno. Strange, but no ones had an explanation yet...

I suggest just starting over from step one and trying again. :( It MIGHT help, or will at least give you some practice while waiting for a better answer.

Well it's the second time I've tried it =\
Last time the rom didn't even start up. But this time I didn't change any of a Pokemon's stats and stuff, I just replaced the sprite of Farfetch'd with mine.

BTW, Maybe you didn't set the missingno.'s sprite offset to the offset that you inserted your sprite?

No, I used the Free Space Finder to get me an open offset to use... And I always add 10 extra bytes to be sure it won't overwrite something else. It wasn't acting glitched or anything since attacks etc were working, which was nice, but now I'm wondering where MY sprite went off too...

Nvm, I just found out that it was Poke edit pro that makes my vba not respond. I still have no idea why.

I have the solution okay when you open unLZ-GBA you try to start from 500 at the GoTo button if its still messed up go to 1000 1500 2000 onwards until you find a proper sprite if you enter 500 and a pokemon is there already it might even start on a lower number so find it...^^

I Need Your Help With Something.

I Follow The Tutorial To the Letter but when I Insert the sprite and save with the new offsets on a clean Rom. I go to a different sprite then return to the sprite i have changed and it goes back to what sprite was there before?

The reason it does this is because you are not removing the old image, you are just telling the game to not look at it anymore. Don't worry, the Sprite is inserted.

When you use Poke Edit Pro, you can't have the rom open with any other program, it's a sharing issue.
Hey, I'm having an issue here...
I inserted Dialga in the slot right after Celebii, but when I make someone give him to you, I get an Illumise instead. Also, I can't edit Dialga's pokedex entry. Anyone know what's up?

Oh, and to add new attacks, you first need to delete some from other Pokemon, then you can mess with your Pokemon's attacks with Poke Edit Pro or YAPE. Although I think you can also create a new attack offset with poke edit pro, so that you don't have to delete anything. I only just figured out how to make poke edit pro work with Vista, so I'm not entirely certain...

Did you put the Backsprite offset in the right field in Pkmn Edit Pro?

also, the pallete offset for your backsprite needs to go into the "Shiny pallette" field.



Also also (xD) Does anyone have any idea how to import and edit an icon for your pokemon?

This is not working for me. The pokemon wouldn't show up in the game. I tried this whole thing twice and it didn't work neither of the times.

Yeah, I'm having a problem. I can import a sprite to Pokemon Ruby without problems, however, if I try importing a pallete, no matter what offset, etc, I use, the game always uses a bizarre pallete for the entire screen upon encountering that Pokemon, then crashes. The only way I can get anything to work is by only importing the sprite and then using a pre-existing pallete, but this has too many limitations.

Help plx?
