[Other] How to start with National Dex?

[KnSlash]

In Ruby, how do I give the player the national dex at the beginning? What part of the script do I need to change, and how should I change it?

Before setting the Pokédex flag, write this code.

...
writebytetooffset 0x2 0x2026B00
writebytetooffset 0x3 0x2026B01
writebytetooffset 0xDA 0x2024EBE
writebytetooffset 0x67 0x2026A5A
setflag <pokedex flag>
...

What's the point of writebytetooffset? I actually don't know what's that for. So I hope you don't mind me asking and also can you explain it :)

This is what I understood from writebytetooffset, so correct me if I'm wrong:

When you use a Hex Editor of some sort, you will notice that there are alot of bytes. When you use writebytetooffset, what it essentially does is overwrite the byte at the chosen offset with the one in the script. So writebytetooffset 0x2 0x2026B00 will replace the byte at offset 0x2026B00 with 02 I believr. And thus you can have hooks into the strings and bytes found in Hex Editors from simple scripts, allowing you to do some things like start with National Dex. :)

Again, I'm not exactly sure, but I believe that is the logistics of it.

wbto changes the byte at the specified RAM offset; the bytes it accesses can't be reached in a Hex Editor because that deals with the ROM (read-only memory; i.e., it can't be changed during gameplay, which is what wbto does), but wbto deals with the RAM.
