    Well depending on if you're hacking Fire Red or Emerald,
    For FR theres a program called G3HS that will let you expand your Pokemon simply at the touch of a button.

    If you're hacking Emerald on the other hand, its not so simple, you have to do it by hand:

    Although you can do it by hand for FR if you really feel like it, but honestly theres no point to.



    I have a question myself, does anybody happen to have the offsets(image,raw,palette) for the Team Magma battle symbol?(the one that appears before fighting them)

    Here's a tutorial: https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=203722

    Also, can you explain what you said about the pallet register? It was 0x13, iirc.

    Well I havent done too much research into it, but for some reason some pal registers cause the sprite to freeze on the first frame, just try out different registers till you find one that works.
    Heres a small list of ones that I use:
    Spoiler:


    Hope this helps. Doing this has helped me with the same issue.

    Well, I have searched this board intensely, but unfortunately, for this, I have only found help and instructions for 3rd Gen Pokémon games.

    I want to add the Sinnoh Evolutions and Baby Pokémon in a Pokémon Crystal version. But instead of replacing some Pokémon I want to expand the Pokédex. I found for 3rd gen games that I can expand the Pokédex-Slots by editing the ROM datas on the Hex-Editor. I don't know if it's the same way how to do this on the Crystal ROM. Are there any good instructions with which I can add more Pokémon in the game?

    Hello, I've been attempting for a few months now to hack a ROM by myself and its not going exactly well haha, I have several questions which would be incredible if someone could help me get some answers. Well here are my questions.

    1. How do i cause a moving script (ex. professor oak stopping you and walking up to you and making you follow him into the lab)
    i use XSE, and what i would love is a video on YouTube or something i may have missed that might help me figure out the skeleton on how its done

    2. I have set all my warp zones for my doorways and it seems that they all just send me to the middle of the map when i return to the previous map
    (Ex. i walk into the mart in Celedon, then exit the mart and i am in the center of the map instead of exiting the doorway)

    3. What tools or how do i got about editing the title screen image?
    (Ex. Charizard and the Pokemon Fire Red logo)

    1. You already got this one answered.
    2. You have to make sure the warp tiles go both ways. Do they both warp to each other? You can check this in Advanced Map by following the warp quite easily.
    3. Spherical Ice made a really great tutorial for this: https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=325944. It's thorough and teaches you other important stuff when it comes to image editing.

    NSE is an overworld editor. I'm talking about the in-battle trainer back sprites, not their overworlds.

    No, no it's not. NSE stands for "Nameless Sprite Editor", it's not just for overworlds. NSE Classic might load the overworlds by default when you open it, those aren't the only things you can edit though.

    I've downloaded all the things from the beginner rom makers tutorial, but some are saying I have errors, others can't be opened, one says I have to buy before I get a feature to start it, and I have no idea what I'm doing here. One says it doesn't even exist anymore. Uh, anyone know what to do? :3c

    Be a little more specific.
    What did you download? Advance Map, G3HS, etc?
    What tools are telling you what? Advance Map doesn't load or PGE doesn't let you save a ROM you've hacked...
    Things like this.

    None of them even opened, the VBA said I was missing something, and also had a lot of errors I apparently needed fixing. I was afraid to remove any said errors incase I lost something. I don't know what I was missing now because I couldn't get it back up, so I deleted it and planed to reinstall everything. I downloaded everything it said in the ROM Hacking: Getting Started thread, but I've never done any hacks before, so I've never downloaded any of those kinds of tools, and it's likely something I'm doing wrong . I think there's one I have to get working before unzipping everything else, right?

    Edit: I have to do the 7-zip, right? It's giving me a bunch of options, but I don't know the difference between them.

    Download WinRAR and unzip the programs you've downloaded. Then they should work normally by just opening them.

    It's free for 40 days, and you can still compress and decompress stuff after the license is over. I don't even know what is the paid stuff of this program.
    Just download it from WinRAR's official site and it won't come with viruses.

    Edit: I'm getting a "Msvcr71.dll cannot be found" error message when trying to unzip the VBA file.
