I'm currently working on learning how to hex edit. Right now I'm trying to learn on fire red. But all the tutorials I'm finding have all the the hex codes,bytes, addresses written in script. I was able to find a few useful tutorials on hex editing emerald, but can't find any for fire red because they all use scripts.

Ex:

How would I break that down into bytes? Like the value for the pokemon and anything else I need to know?

You don't typically hex edit scripts. That's what things like XSE are for.
But if you're really keen on doing so I'm sure that you could take a look at the source code for XSE and read up on how it runs the commands and converts them.

See that's my issue. I'm not a pc user. I'm doing all of it on my phone using an app called macro hex edit. I already used it to somewhat make my own hack of emerald. Now I want to do it on fire red. Would I be able to find a file of the source code for xse or even a tutorial online?
