RESOLVED: RED CLONES
I used MrDollSteak's Attack and Decap as my base.
The red clones were script tiles I added to Pallet Town. That's a problem I can probably solve by deleting them, I think.
However, the game still resets as soon as I choose a move in the first battle with Blue.
I patched the game with the 1.5a patch. I don't know if this is the source of the problem but I can't do further testing until morning. I'm glad I caught these problems relatively early, but I still wasted about 15 hours. Bummer.

The restarts may be due to the game crashing and resetting. By the way what base ROM are you working with? It will reset a LOT with Gold and Silver because it's programmed to if something goes wrong, while with Red and Blue it will occasionally, but most of the time it'll either keep going until it can return to normal or just crash outright.

In either case, if I had to guess the game is jumping to bits of code it's not supposed to once a move has been picked. There's probably corruption in there someplace, but I don't know enough to know where it is exactly.

Fire Red rom. I'm going to run through a series of tests to make sure the rom itself isn't the issue, and then try an otherwise unmodified copy with MrDollSteak's base to see if I can find the issue.


edit: I tried a clean rom and no issue, then a patched rom with the Attack and Decap base with no issue. Maybe I screwed something up while hacking, probably adding those scripted tiles screwed things up. Someone once told me that the red clones only show up when there's corruption or junk code or something. I didn't have this problem the last time I hacked FR but I wasn't using MrDollSteak's base then either.
