[Other] New Mechanics in Hacks?

[Dapplegonger]

I have been interested in Pokémon hacking for quite some time now, and I've been looking around at various tutorials to figure out how to do it. Only problem is, none of the software advocated by any of these tutorials work for Mac, which I own, even when using Wine. I'm getting a PC soon, so I've been developing some ideas for basic hacks (sprite alterations, new moves/evolutions), but I was wondering how difficult it would be to add in a new mechanic to a 3rd gen game specifically something like Mega Evolutions. I'm excited to start hacking, but I feel like its a good idea to establish my limitations as a beginning hacker.

It's very hard to install new features into 3rd gen games, since you'd have to use ASM

Everything regarding 6th Generation Experience has been solved. Mega Evolution has been cracked, just that the guy who found out, is keeping a closed source.

Who is this guy? And is he making a hack where he/she implements it?

It's the dude who is making Pokemon Indigo IIRC. The problem with his logic is that people will find out how he does it by peaking inside his ROM once he releases a patch with his mega evolution method. Although I think somebody is working on figuring it out on their own, as the guy who is making Pokemon Indigo claimed to be having a few issues with his method.
