    I'm trying to edit an Emerald ROM with Advance Mart. The problem is, the only pokemart that I can seem to change the inventory in is the one in Oldale. I can change the prices in all of the pokemarts, but if I try to edit the inventory in a place like Petalburg, the inventory won't change. I also noticed that the Oldale Mart only changed after I had battled May for the first time. How do I get the other marts to show the changes?

    Because of the normal layout of the evolution data, it's not possible, but people have gone around it and added a male Eevee, and a female Eevee and split the evolutions between them.

    @nothing
    That's got nothing to do with hacking.

    You can repoint evolutions fairly easily in GSC. Is that practical in the GBA games, or no?

    I reiterate my question on the previous page: I am trying to edit an Emerald ROM with Advance Mart. The problem is, I can only get it to change the inventory in Oldale town. All other pokemarts remain unaffected. It will change the prices throughout the game, though. I also noticed that the oldale mart was changed only after I battled May for the first time. How do I get the other marts to be affected?

    In GSC and GB, it seems a lot simpler as it's a little less organised. In GB and GBC, if I'm not mistaken all you need to do is repoint the evolution/moveset, and add to the amount of evolutions. In GBA, Nintendo changed the layout and all the evolutions are together, and the lay out is in a similiar manner to the base stats are. As the have a set amount of space per Pokemon, and adding to the bytes, will only effect the following Pokemon. To the best of my knowledge, there's no individual pointer per Pokemon in GBA, but only one to the beginning of the whole evolution 'table'

    I'm not too sure what the problem might be. It could be a problem in the .ini pointing to the wrong thing.
    I usually just script out a new Pokemart, or just hex edit, so I can't really help you with this problem.

    Maybe you misunderstand what I said. You'd need to make two separate Pokemon. And split up the seven(or more) evolutions between the two Pokemon. You can add those evolutions to that second Eevee either through hex or one of the many Pokemon tools available that allow you to do so.

    Just a few quick questions which applies to Pokemon RBY and GSC

    1) How can I easily change the levels and movesets of Gym Leaders, the Elite Four, and the Champion? I'd like to bump their levels up, and possibly add better moves to them. I don't necessarily want to mess with the Pokemon themselves, just their levels and moves.

    2) How can I add in or replace the male trainer graphics with a female? I'd like to use a Leaf graphic in place of Red for RBY if any exist, and Kris for GS.

    I'd imagine I could use a hex editor to do this but I'm not very familiar with how the Pokemon ROMs are structured so I don't know where this data is stored. If anyone can help me I would appreciate it.

    Thanks.

    • Okay, I've got a few questions:
    1. How could I add the possibility to be a girl in Gold Version? Coolboyman did it, but how can I?
    2. What are the scripting codes to make your overworld sprite change in Gold?
    3. How can I change the map link data in GoldMap?

    Open your ROM in a hex editor and go to offset 039CC2. This is a list of all the trainers in the game: first is the name (visible if you have a table file), then [50], and then any of the following four data structures:

    [00]
    [Level] [Pokemon] (up to 6 times, once for each Pokemon)
    [FF]

    [01]
    [Level] [Pokemon] [Attack1] [Attack2] [Attack3] [Attack4] (up to 6 times, once for each Pokemon)
    [FF]

    [02]
    [Level] [Pokemon] [Item] (up to 6 times, once for each Pokemon)
    [FF]

    [03]
    [Level] [Pokemon] [Item] [Attack1] [Attack2] [Attack3] [Attack4] (up to 6 times, once for each Pokemon)
    [FF]

    If the sprite you want is already in the game, you can change the pointers to point to the one you want. If you want your own image, it's more difficult because the images are compressed. Right now there is no tool to compress images in RBY. You can insert into GSC using AGIXP (I think there's another tool for that too but I don't recall for sure).

    Find a byte of unused memory and use it as a flag to determine gender. Use ASM to hook into the new game loading routine and give you a choice of gender, then find any functions related to gender and have them check the flag before implementing them. If you're having trouble, look at Crystal and see how it does it.

    You probably can't. Use MegaMap for that sort of thing.

    • How do you index sprites?
    I got exactly 16 colours on a sprite:
    dpmfa442.png

    spiritombbackspriteiq8.png

    Or, does it need to be resized?
    If so, to how much?

    I put this here because there isn't a "Spriting Help Thread"...xD
