Remove level cap in emerald?
 
Does anyone know how to remove the level 100 cap in pokemon emerald using a hex editor or something similar? (If you could provide recommendations for a hex editor or whatever is needed, that would be great) Credit will be given to whoever can help me here.


P.S. If this is in the wrong section, could you please move it to the right one please? I surfed the forums and thought that this forum was the best to place this in.

It can be done, but the moral thing to do is to tell you it can't.

This damage scales far faster than defenses do when your foes don't have any EVs (reminder that the AI does not get EVs while the player does) and you'll burn any challenge that exists away if you're following a sensible level curve and not just throwing level 200 Giratinas at the player in midgame or some garbage.

I personally think we should be more interested in figuring out how to rig up trainers to have EVs instead, but since I don't know anything about "actual" hacking I have no room to talk.

DoesntKnowHowToPlay did exactly that, and it's a far better way of providing difficulty than stat-twinking and giving the AI four Full Restores.
