Could you update the first post, so it just has links to your video instead of loading the video into the post? My PC and I'm sure many others' lags a lot when loading the OP. :D

Hmmmm m m mmmmmm mmmmm mm m m m...
My intention was for people to be able to watch the videos without having to open any new tabs or to be redirected somewhere else. I logged onto an older, slower computer sitting in my closet and loaded the page, but it loaded relatively quickly even without being cached.

Curiously, how slow is it for you to load this thread compared to some other lengthy thread?

Made an account here to thank you for your efforts on this series. I tried making a romhack in the past, but most of the resources I could find were either in Spanish or glossed over concepts I wasn't familiar with at the time (index your sprites). Only about a week into my hack and I feel very confident in my ability to finish it within a year, thanks to your tutorials. Hope you keep the series going.

A possible suggestion for you Anthroyd, if it hasn't been done already in one of your videos.
Even though the tutorial videos have been about making rom hacks, the sprites, cries, scripts, tiles, etc. Have you shown how to actually make the ips? Since it isn't allowed to upload the roms themselves.

Patching is covered in tutorial 22 Hex Maniac.

Hi, anthoyd! thank you so much for this godlike perfect tutorials and for introducing me to ROM Hacking!
also i needed one help. I want to permanently lock my player and rival names. I found that it is only possible via ASM and i tried following one such tutorial and failed catastrophically ! If you could helpme in any way that would be great
P.S if this is explained in one of your videos sorry for not paying attention to that :P

Hey can I ask that the video 3 could be explained a little easier? Im new started hacking today and I didnt understand the palettes and blocks and what you did to make custom blocks. I understood the transperancy,palette editor part and the x-y flip but not the first 10 mins of your video where u talk about 2 tiles 1 transparent etc.Can I ask if it is recommended to use a rom base to do the mapping or do the sprites,icons editing first then use the mapping?Because I dont know how to check the pokemons in the rom base as the PGE and APSE show errors. Thanks for you awesome videos!!

These tutorial videos are great, but how can you make a trainer disappear after battling them or after the aftertext? I get the fades to work but he is still either there or I have to go in a building to refresh my game for him to disappear.

Learn about flags and variables in the tutorial titled History Never Repeats Itself.

The embeds doesn't seem to be willing to show up for me. Upon Inspecting element, it seems they are there, but copying the links and manually navigating to the video results in a 404.

I've added external links to each video within the spoiler tags. I've never experienced your problem firsthand, but this should fix any future case of it.
