Alright, I've seen this asked before, but never really answered in a satisfactory way. The question is, how do you make certain characters have certain battle themes in Pokemon Fire Red? As in, you battle a character, and their theme is, say, the Team Rocket battle theme. I have read about this "ASM" method and, frankly, it is very vague, and I am not a godlike hex editor. I'm looking for a simple way to tell the game to play a certain battle theme, or maybe a tool that can do it.
I know simply changing the character's class works in Emerald, but this is not the case in Fire Red. Honestly, I could use Emerald, but the sprite selection is very limited, the tiles are not as good, and all the scripting experience I have is with Fire Red.
I've seen hints that a setvar command could do this, but I don't know what variable to use or what to set it to in that instance. Does anyone know of any way to do this? Please, nothing about how to add in music with Sappy or something, that isn't what I'm looking for. And nothing about that ASM tutorial either. And no, changing the "intro music" value in Advance Trainer has no effect on the -battle- music.
