[Other] Add New Pokemon In 15 Easy Steps!

[Late]

Are you sure that your background color is first? At the first time my first and second color was at wrong sides.

[DarKnighT_0_9]

I think I have it right. but if I do it the way the tutorial says my background color isn't the eighth color it is the second one????

[eddyboy8]

I tried the tut and when ever I add a sprite it ether dosen't change or it ends up distort
help?

[DarKnighT_0_9]

I found out what I was doing wrong but I have it figured out now. And eddyboy mabye try remaking the image. That is what I had to do.

thats an easy question to answer. you probably didn't give the sprite enough free space to work with. try inserting ur sprite again with the number of bytes needed.

[eddyboy8]

Thanks guy I'll try it

[tpravetz]

The tutorial isn't 100% right. For me, I always choose the same colour as the background colour, and it is always eighth, but it will not always be eighth, as it can change depending on the colours.

[zepher1206]

My backsprite's colors are all messed up. idk what's wrong? I think the colors are inverted somehow

[:3]

on FSF it let's you choose between FF and 00.
Which one are we supposed to use?

I always used 00 because in Unlz the Offset starts with 00.

[tpravetz]

I must stress that the backsprites colours must be exactly the same as the normal sprites.

[eddyboy8]

I tired it again and it worked this time Great Tut

[kickbuttplaya]

wow thx this helped alot and now i can edit other pokemon >:3

[Mormo]

It's a great tut, but I do have a question. I replaced Charmander with a sprite, but when I press A on the Pokeball, the game restarts. Any help?

Also, on the subject of adding pokemon, does anyone know how to repoint the learned moves list of pokemon? That is, if one added a pokemon, they wouldn't be abled to tell it to learn moves unless they deleted some that already exist for other pokemon. (Same situation for egg moves, which I'm working on... slowly...)

I know I"m in no place to make demands, but would the maker of this tut please be a little more complete in this tutorial? It tells you how to edit sprites and backsprites and references you to PEP (which has less than half the functionality of YAPE) but it does not tell you how to do the following, which are necessary to add a new pokemon, without these, it simply isn't a new pokemon:
1. Explain how to edit pokedex entries and to assign them a defined number and habitat(FR/LG) in them by whatever means necessary.
2. Explain how to add new moves to its' movelist. As it is, all the ? pokemon have only one move, and not even YAPE can add more.
3. Include a reference to Icon Editor so that people know how to edit the micro-sprite that shows up in your pokeballs list and storage PC.

EDIT: I don't mean to sound harsh. YOur tutorial works wonderfully... I was just looking for so much more. Keep up the good work.

1. I suggest you to see this thread: http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=185257
2. That's what we have PEP for. The newest version of PEP allows you to add new move tables. Just click on "Insert New table", get an offset with empty space, check how much moves you need, and there you go.
3. Yes, he should do that.

You say that PEP has less than half the functionality of YAPE. Sorry to say, but you didn't notice something: YAPE can't edit the Pokémon Sprite/icon/pallete offsets, which PEP can do, and that's the reason why it's used.

You are very right. I guess no one tool is willing to do everything...
Now I've been having a problem. I successfully added both sprites, and I could have sworn they had the same palette, so I didn't even bother to make a new palette for my backsprite, but when I went into a battle, the sprite was black and yellow, which is not what it was supposed to be. What did I do wrong?

[tpravetz]

I apologize, my computer is down right now. I am doing this through an iPod, so I cannot see the tools... As soon as my computer is up, I will add what you asked.

This thing has worked fine (as it should be), I have inserted Turtwig and Grotle to my game. A couple of times I have got messed up sprites but I have fixed those without help. Now I have a problem. I have Torterra's sprite, when I see it in game it's black and I don't know what helps me to get it's colours back again. I think it's palette's fault but what can I do? I have tried different offsets and everything that comes to my mind, but something's still wrong. Can somebody help me?

[DarKnighT_0_9]

Hi. Im back with another problem. Im having the same problem that Korronensu is having. If you can help I will forever be greatful.

[Korronensu]

I solved the problem I had before.
While it is true they used the same pallet, their pallets were (and this is the stupidest thing I've ever seen) In DIFFERENT ORDER! I had to export the pallet from the front sprite, load the backsprite, import the pallet (which screwed up my image) saved it as a seperate file, opened the old and new backsprites in two seperate runs of paint, copy the one with the colors that looked right, pasted it over the one with the right pallet, and saved. Only THEN did it work. That's the solution to your problem, master Dark.

I want help too My question, scroll little bit up, so you can see it. I can't continue my hack because my problem! I'm starting to cry (not really but..).

[Samoe]

"Component 'comdlg32.ocx' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid"

Search google for comdlg32.ocx, download it and place it in the system32 folder.

I used this tuterial last night and it worked great! (In Emerald BTW). My only hang up is that my sprite isn't loading properly... It works fine in every step and the game runs smoothly, but when I encounter it in the wild it just gives me missingno.'s two question marks sprite... Haven't tried catching it yet because I'm still tweaking the sprite's original problem. It should work fine though.

Any suggestions?

Ummm... everything I've done to this ROM has worked fine so far aside from my tiny newbie problems that only came up because I'd never used the tools before. I'm working on new player sprites, new pokes, edited gyms, and rebuilt towns and everything is great and smoothly running so far...

[ExitWound]

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



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