    Good day, community.

    I am currently working on a hack of my own, and I am struggling to find a particular set of sprites.
    To be more specific, I am looking for the sprites of the character heads in Pokemon Emerald while you look at the Town Map.

    For example, the one right above the red square.
    I tried using one of the Advance Editors and unLZ, but without any luck.

    Could someone help me out to locate and edit these sprites?

    Thank you in advance!

    These sprites are uncompressed, so you won't find them in unLZ.

    Here are the offsets for BPEE:
    Palette Male: 0x5A082C (length 0x20)
    Sprite Male: 0x5A084C (length 0x80)
    Palette Female: 0x5A08CC
    Sprite Female: 0x5A08EC

    For BPED the first offset is 0x5B18AC, the others follow accordingly.

    Thank you so much, Nekaida!
    Managed to edit it without issues with Tile Molester :)

    Btw, just to get myself out of the doubt, BPEE refers to the USA release of Emerald right?
    While BPED I assume refers to the PAL release.

    I have a very similar question. In UnLZ I know that the Offsets 188 and 189 are for the protagonists male and female(FIRE RED/LEAF GREEN). But I just can't make the colors work when I upload a new avatar to be shown on the town map. Do I have to change the sprite palette on BPED before editing on UnLZ? I've already changed everything, my overworld sprite, battle sprite and even Prof. Oak's intro sprites, but the only One I'm struggling now it's with the protagonist's head on the town map -.-

    I'd suggest following this tutorial. Although it's specifically for the titlescreen, the method applies to lots of graphics in a ROM. https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=325944
