Nope. What you could do is to add a new SPECIES constant like SPECIES_RANDOM only used to signal the code that you want it to be replaced with a randomized species, and then make the code generate a random species when this new constant is read, inside the function of code that is in charge of...

1) You can't write meaningful code inside src/data/trainer_parties.h. That file contains arrays with data that are read by a field in the gTrainers array located at src/data/trainers.h, which is then read in different functions of code inside the files located in the src folder. 2)...

It doesn't look like you made an effort to read Oak's Lab's scripts.inc file, huh. Just like there's a temporary variable that is used to store the Player's starter before giving it to them (VAR_TEMP_2 which uses PLAYER_STARTER_SPECIES as a local label), there's a variable used to control the...

FRLG has 2 special functions to call the save prompt in the overworld, CableClub_AskSaveTheGame and Field_AskSaveTheGame. The former goes unused, while the other one is used to open the save prompt in the overworld whenever it's needed. What I'd do if I were you is to remove STARTMENU_SAVE from...

You can do whatever you want with the codebase. It contains the entirety of the code and assets that compose the game, so you can do anything you want within the limits of the GBA's hardware. The first way that I can think of to go about this is by adding a `special` function that grabs a...

I don't recall that feature branch having any sort of text that you'd need to translate, so there's nothing for you to worry about on that end. Spanish: Hasta donde recuerdo esa rama no tiene ningun texto que necesites traducir, asi que no tenés nada de que preocuparte. Also yeah, this is not...

If you mean "a way to distinguish between regions" (because "regions" are just collections of maps), yes, there's an implementation with a tutorial in the Pokeemerald wiki. https://github.com/pret/pokeemerald/wiki/Adding-Multi-region-Support

^ That. See "pokecrystal16" here: https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/wiki/Branches#base-branches

It's a Linux thing that you don't need to concern yourself with in the context of the Pokémon decomps. It's a warning meant to tell you that the affected file or files have Read, Write and Execute permissions. That in turn means that depending on the nature of the project you're working with...

You're using the Pokeemerald-expansion, so you have to work with the src/data/trainers.party file. Open it with any text editor or VSC, check how the data is laid out and use that as a reference point to add new trainer data wherever you want in the file.

Yes, you can. Pokeemerald contains the entire source code of Pokémon Emerald, so you can do whatever you want within the limits of the GBA's hardware. Using msgbox is not mandatory. You can totally add an if statement in a function like ProcessPlayerFieldInput which handles your key inputs in...

It can be pretty damn easy or a bit on the harder side depending on how you want the species change to happen inside of your game. For example, if you familiarize yourself with how the overworld scripting system of these games works, it's very very easy to perform a species swap and call it a...

Delete the code of the PlayBGM function in src/sound.c.

The cuttable trees are event objects placed on the game's maps like any other. I assume that you forgot to adjust the event object IDs used in the scripts.inc file of Viridian City after removing Viridian City's cuttable tree. If you remove that cuttable tree, a command like setobjectxyperm...

I don't use them, but from a quick grep it seems you can edit wild encounters and trainers for example. Most of the species data doesn't seem to be editable though. Types, base stats, height and such. Evolutions and tutor moves somehow can be modified though.
