[Other] A few beginner questions

[snicken15]

Hi!

I'm currently starting up my first ROM hack, and I have a few questions that I haven't been able to find answeres for.
Firstly I should say I already use MrDollSteak's ROM base, as the fairy type, updated abilities and items play a big role in my project.
The tool i have at the moment is PGE.

Now, onto the big questions:
-----
Is there a way of changing the regional dex's size?
- I'm looking to add a few pokemon, as well as not using some that already is in the game. Thus I figured the easiest way to create a nice pokedex would be to change and add some pokemon to the game, and then just expand the regional pokedex and put them in the desired order using PGE.

How to add / replace existing pokemon?
- This seems like such a basic questiong, but I've seriously searched for a day and a half with no luck. I'm looking to replace sprites, cries, stats, name etc, everything. PGE seems to have a pokemon editor that can deal with a lot of it. But i have no idea how to replace the sprites and cries.

How to change a type's weakness?
- I'm specifically looking to replace Fairy-type's Steel weakness to Normal weakness.
-----
A few more distant questions i have:
Changing EVs and IVs of trainer pokemon possible?
Adding additional badges possible? for example 12 badges in a region.

Thanks guys!

2 - Use Generation 3 Hacking Suite (G3HS). It's another Pokémon editor, and it comes with a "Expand Pokémon" button.
It's also possible to edit every other Pokémon information, like base stats and sprites. If you strugle to substitute or add Pokémon there, try Nameless Sprite Editor (NSE) for Pokémon sprites and icons.

4 - Don't know...

5 - It's possible to add new badges. I unfortunately don't know how, though.
