    New member, just saying hello. I've played pokemon games since I was a kid, I'm 29 now. I played the original blue version on a GBC which was my first entry into the fandom.

    I'm diving into ROM hacking today and have downloaded PGE as well as MEH as I believe these are the best tools to use for a beginner?
    FireRed is what I'm going to be hacking as I believe it to be the most accessible and newbie-friendly based on research.

    Does anyone have any sage advice or tips for the bushy-tailed and bright-eyed?

    I have fire-red but I'm uncertain if I should utilize it for my first attempt at a hack, I think it will be too involved... It's the one from Leon and UltimaSoul.

    Looking forward to meeting and learning from you guys,
    -Jordan

    (PS: I cross-posted this from the general chit-chat in the ROM-Hacking section, but that particular thread seems ill-traveled)

    I downloaded a ROM-base for fire-red but I'm uncertain if I should utilize it for my first attempt at a hack, I think it will be too involved... It's the one from Leon and UltimaSoul.

    Welcome to PC! Glad to see you've joined the big armty of ROM hackers we have here ^^ You can probably scout out a lot of resources and help in old threads in the hacking sections. If you prefer to get more hands-on feedback and advice, I recommend visiting our Discord server where we have channels specifically dedicated to ROM hacking. https://discordapp.com/invite/pokecommunity

    I hope you will enjoy the rest of the community as well! You and I are of the same generation of pokémon fans; my first was Yellow Version ^^

  • Fellow Gen I trainer here! My first game was Red.
    There's plenty of discussion about rom hacking here so I'm sure you'll get to learn a lot.
