[Other] Oak's Lab script

[LangsEnd]

Hey, I'm working on my first ROM hack, and I've gotten used to writing new script, but I've run into trouble altering script already in the game. I'm trying to change a few things about the first encounter with Prof. Oak, but can't figure out which flags I'm looking for, what to take out, and where to put my own script.
I'm cutting out the Rival completely, and replacing the part where Oak asks you to chose a pokemon with him jut giving you a Bulbasaur. Also, I'd like to take out the Viridian PokeMart quest completely and just have him give the player the PokeDex.
Obviously, there's a lot of stuff in this script ($00169595), and most of it I would rather no disturb. So does anyone know how to make these kinds of changes? Or, if I have to replace the event entirely, how to bring over most of the function to the new script?

The coolest thing of Pokemon hacking is that the game scripts are all available. You can actually get the whole lab script from the game.

And here's a post with a list of flags:

I hope you'll be able to work it out :-)

Thanks for the flag list. That will be a lifesaver!

For the pokedex, you could do this:
#dynamic 0xoffset

#org @getdex
setflag 0x829
msgbox @1 0x2
end

#org @1
= [player] Got the Pokedex!

or something similar to that. To get rid of the viridian mart quest just go into advance map, find the viridian mart, and create a new script for the cashier. Hope this helps!
