I think that the fact that there are so many tools for Advance generation hacking has made many people lazy. They are used to having tools so they don't have to learn how to hack with a hex editor.
I think that all these people that are just asking for a map editor (or tools in general) have to realize that making a tool takes hard work and more restrictively alot of time. We can get much farther with many people working, I think mainly because we can have more combined time working on it.
To people asking for DP hacking tools:
Why don't you guys step up to the challenge of developing the tools you want?
No matter what your level of knowledge, you can learn if you want to.
There is alot of research to be done and the more people we have working one it the better off we are.
Sure we may not all be as good as loadingNOW, Pichu2000, E-bag, etc but they only have a certain amount of time to work on this. There is plenty of things we could do if the effort is put in to learn how to edit with a hex editor.

the only thing I can do atm is changing the ingame pokemon stuffs…
but once a mapping tool is out I'll get to work ;)

You are not going to get any more experience by just saying that and not trying to learn.

To those new ROM hackers, I ask: Would you rather be known for using a program to make a ROM hack, or for making a program that people use to make rom hacks?

There's alot more to hacking than editing a map with a program. In my opinion that's not even hacking. That's just using a program.
