Hey guys

So, surprisingly, there isn't many tutorials on XY rom hacking out there. So I decided to create this thread to write various tutorial about XY rom hacking.

And there you go, you can now make XY rom hacks !

If you would like me to add a specific tutorial (Editing Title Screens for example) Just ask and I will add it when I will have the time.

Have a good time modding !

Make sure that you have both romfs.bin and exefs.bin in the same folder as pk3ds. You can get these 2 files from a .cia using godmode9.

No idea if you're still replying to posts from 2018, but would you happen to know how to change the sprite used for Pokemon in the Box/Inventory? I put Male Pyroar over Phione to give it and the female different stats/abilities, and everything seems to be working fine except for Phione showing up in the box menu. What do? Thanks.
