Has anyone found where the tables for the battle frontier in Emerald are? I'm fairly sure it pulls pretty much all the pokemon used in it from a local table that contains the species and it's associated move pool for that instance. I'm not looking to change the battles, the rules, or anything like that...just the pokemon the trainers inside uses. Reasons for this would include things like a reordering of a 'dex. (grass types using fire moves?) I'm not entirely sure if there's any data in the tables it pulls from apart from it's species number and the movepool for that instance. Any help in editing this table would be very much appreciated. Hell, just an offset for it might do enough. Thanks.
Bumping a week old question. The hack I'm working on has a reordered dex with different pokemon and it would be really nice to have the battle frontier work with this new dex without giving random species movepools that don't belong.

Uhm, I'm pretty sure reordering the 'dex isn't going to change what Pokemon are what. =|
Everything ends,
and that's always sad.
But everything begins again, too,
and that's always happy.

The Battle Frontier looks up the species according to their dex number though. If you were to say, replace Lombre with Cyndaquil, then in the Battle Frontier, you would be able to find a random Cyndaquil with moves like Mega Drain and Water Gun. Even if you replaced Lombre's movepool in the game, the Battle Frontier wouldn't recognize this change because it uses it's own special custom movepool for every pokemon you see used within it, sorta like how Gym Leaders and other important trainers have custom movesets for their pokemon.

My question is basically asking how to edit those movepools used in the battle frontier, so I can avoid awkward moments like that. Where they are in the ROM, what kind of format they use, etc. Though just an offset alone might help; I'm hoping I can figure out the rest on my own.

Use the starter editor, it's simpler that way...unless you script it...

Ninja Caterpie. I might be wrong on this, but I just had that problem while I was scripting. It happened when I added a special that should have been a flag. When I removed the special and added the right flag it didn't happen anymore.

This sorta frustrating because I know I've done it before, but the data is lost. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong in this Pokescript to pick up an item off the ground? I've looked online but I just see how to get another person to give you an item. Thanks
Spoiler:
#org $script
message $pokeball
$pokeball 1 = You found a pokeball!
boxset 6
removesprite 11
giveitem 0x1 1
setflag 0x1203
release
end
Your problem is that $pokeball has to be it's own #org. Like this

Spoiler:
#org $whaterver
your
script
here

#org $pokeball
= "Whatever"


Also, I reccoment switching to XSE. More people prefer that, and it's easier to use.

Can I have some help??
I made an item called an 'Origin Statue' out of one of the countless ???????? items on the list and turned it into an evolution item. I made sure every stat available through Item Editor and Item Manager was the same as a Leaf Stone(except index and price, and that it was a Key Item) then made one of the ? Pokemon (edited into Altered Forme Giratina) use it to evolve into Poochyena(edited into Origin Forme Giratina) through EvolutionEd. I made a description for it with Advance Text. However, in game when I take the item then go to my Key Items pocket, the game freezes. I tried changing it to an Item and changing the description but it still just crashes.

What have I done wrong?

Is this meant to happen? o_O What did I do!?

You proberly edited some of the un compresed graphics by accident. Just copy the uncompresd graphics from a clean rom and paste it in your rom.

Ah, I've had that. I believe it's to do with you repointing into some space which looked like FF but was actually part of an image (Like NarutoActor said.)

I think that the best way to fix this is to work from a backup and make sure the offsets you're using start after 0x720000. :3

Uh.. hello. I used a ROM base for one of my recent hacks, but some of the tiles are missing and are replaced with jibberish stuff, like bridges and other stuff.


So, should I get a new ROM with standered Nintendo tiles and insert some other tiles or should I use the ROM base?

That's your choice really isn't it o.O If the tiles aren't enough to work with than either insert the ones you need or use a different ROM base.
