0 - Appears to be Layer C.
1 - Layer 4 (Surfing)
2 - Layer 8 (???)
3 - Layer C (Regular ground)
4 - Layer 10 (appears to work for all layers above this, too (Layer 14, Layer 18, etc.))
Ahhhh I've been trying to pinpoint how to do this for a few weeks. I finally thought I was getting somewhere but I've been well and truly beaten here. Great find though and a wonderful advancement for ROM Hacking :).
XY added a feature that gives experience points when you catch pokemon. To duplicate this in FR, do the following:
Repoint the battle script at x1d9a42 to point to this:
2A 00 68 3D 02 02 05 00 50 9A 1D 08 60 0B 10 0B 01 F1 XX XX XX XX 2E E0 3F 02 02 00 2E 0C 3C 02 02 00 2E 0D 3C 02 02 00 23 00 10 0F 01 3A 2E 82 3E 02 02 00 F2 10 0D 01 3A 2E 82 3E 02 02 00 F3 80 9A 1D 08
where XX XX XX XX is a pointer to:

To let the player's mons evolve from this experience, replace the bytes at x15A68 with A1 5A 01 08.
Would you mind telling me how you fixed the music that plays after you captured a pokemon?

Edit: Changed the scripts, I assumed they cut off earlier than they actually did. Should work with full party+no nickname now.
Each move tutor will check to see if a specific flag has been set or not before asking the player if he/she wants to teach a Pokémon a certain move. The script for the Mega Punch tutor on Route 4, for instance, will check to see if flag 0x2C4 has been set. That flag will only be set once the move has been taught. Removing those flag checks/sets will allow you to reuse them endlessly.

credit obviously goes to DoesntKnowHowToPlay for doing this first on FireRed lol
I'm having a problem with this and I'm unsure of how to fix it. Here's the relevant battle script, and the pointer I entered into it.
I've also tried formatting the pointer as 60C0EC08, 08ECC061, and 08ECC060. No changes, except for more oddities when I had formatted the pointers differently.
1. If the thrown Pokeball fails, my game freezes.
2. When the Pokemon is caught, Torchic does gain experience, but after the Pokedex information screen, I'm taken to a party select window, with the battle victory music still playing in the background. Torchic is the only Pokemon in the party, and I am unable to exit the window.
At xECC060, I've pasted the second string of bytes exactly as you've posted:
I have also tried omitting the bytes at x3DE7C, with no change.
If anyone could help me figure out what I have done wrong, I'd really appreciate it.
