    Hello everybody!
    It's me Kenny1 again.
    This time I am going to show you how to edit the default names in Fire Red, (and other things, but later)
    It isn't hard, so it is beginner friendly, as long as you can compile a script, in which case use A-Text.

    You will need:
    -XSE
    -Pokemon FR rom
    The offsets

    Ok then let us begin:

    The actual tutorial:
    Spoiler:

    Here are the offsets:
    Code:
    {MALE}
    RED-1C575E
    	(GAPS, still looking into this)
    FIRE-1C5767
    	(GAPS, still looking into this)
    ASH-1C577A
    KENE-1C577E
    GEKI-1C5783
    JAK-1C5788
    JANNE-1C578C
    JONN-1C5792
    KAMON-1C5797
    KARL-1C579D
    TAYLOR-1C57A2
    OSCAR-1C57A9
    HIRO-1C57A4
    MAX-1C57B4
    JON-1C57B8
    RALPH-1C57BC
    KAY-1C57C2
    TOSH-1C57C6
    ROAK-1C57CB
    ____________
    {FEMALE}
    
    RED-1C575E (Same as male one above)
    
    FIRE-1C576B (Same as male one above)
    
    OMI-1C57D0
    JODI-1C57D4
    AMANDA-1C57D9
    HILLARY-1C57E0
    MAKEY-1C57E8
    MICHI-1C57EE
    PAULA-1C57F4
    JUNE-1C57FA
    CASSIE-1C57FF
    REY-1C5806
    SEDA-1C580A
    KIKO-1C580F
    MINA-1C5814
    NORIE-1C5819
    SAI-1C581F
    MOMO-1C5823
    SUZI-1C5828

    Like I said, it is easy, I will still do some other things soon.

    TO-DO:
    Code:
    -Research editing the credits
    -Research the intro text
    -Research the rival names
    -[S]The female names[/S] (May still be some left out)
    -Try to make the names able to be longer than the originals
    -Other text you guys might suggest :P

    I would like to say that you can edit any text this way, if you can find it's offset, and I also know that this isn't the most effective and safest way to do this, but it works. I also have not seen any bugs as of yet.Please report any.

    -Scizz (For A-Text)

    EDIT~ VERY IMPORTANT!!!!:
    When you edit the names they cannot be longer than the original ones were, this will cause bugs if they are longer.

    Edit2~You can, just change the pointer.
