Spoiler:

Like making is a script generator for trainer battles, pokemon encounters (like legends), moving around, healing our pokemon and etc...

I'm actually against any sort of script generators. They're barely useful, and won't help you learn how to make scripts because you can click a button or two, and there it is: done.
I don't really see the point. You can always copy a decompiled script and edit it to suit your needs.

HackMew, is there a possibility of A-Ptch creating smaller files?
The current APS files are up to 20 times larger than an IPS file.

Unlike IPS/UPS, the APS chunks always have 65536 bytes. If there are few differences, though, most of those bytes will be zero-filled.
The solution is easy: just zip them.

Then how come IPS is smaller?
And why was IPS glitchy and this one isn't?

IPS can be smaller. Not always anyway. The reason is that if there are, say 16 bytes changed at offset 0x0, the .ips file size would be a bit more than 16 bytes. The same patch in APS format would take a bit more than 65536 bytes instead. Once you compress the patches, though, the difference is barely noticeable.

However, consider this. Using IPS, there's no easy way to unapply a patch. And you if you make a patch based off FireRed you can apply it on Ruby, for example, without problems. Of course it wouldn't work, but you could still patch Ruby. Which is something the APS format won't let you do.

EDIT: The IPS format cannot support files bigger than 16 MB too.

Thank you very much for all great tools

The ASM routine could do just anything. There's no way to make a tool which could handle all possible situations for different items etc.

What about an asm routine generator? There are already script generators.

How about something connected to Abilities or Cries?
That'd be cool :)

^ Replace "script" with "ASM routine".

Abilities or cries? I said already I will make a cry editing tool; for now you can use PokeCry.
As for abilities... changing their behaviour requires ASM. I don't see how a tool could handle that.

Oh, I see. I was merely suggesting.

Does this work on everything? I mean Windows XP, Vista and 7. Because i have Vista and XSE doesnt open. But the other tools are GREAT!! So THANK YOU for those.

Thanks for the programs i needed the A-Trainer and i download it here thanks to you thanks XD

do any of these work for the 4th gen games?

If you look under compatibility, you would see that none of these work for the fourth generation. However, some of these work with all GameBoy Advance Roms.

Also, please use proper grammar next time.

I have problem with XSE : when i try to open it it always gets runtime error 380 Invalid property value what can i do with it ?
