Adding new species of Pokemon?

[tchap]

What files do I need to modify to add new monsters?

Actually, I found a tutorial on the git for pokeemerald
Should have looked a little harder.

I've got my guy ingame, but I don't understand whats going on with the color pallet. I've indexed it to 4bpp with graphics gale

It should look like this

Have you placed your normal.pal file in the same folder as your sprite?

hey that did it, thanks.

for a future googler, you need to use gbagfx in your tools folder to make your normal.pal.

Copy your front sprite and drop it in the gbagfx folder

I used

gbagfx front.png normal.pal

as my command in the gbagfx folder

Do the same with a shiny version of your sprite for the shiny.pal

gbagfx shiny_front.png shiny.pal

You shouldn't need to do that, running make should convert your .pngs and .pals to the appropriate file types (.4bpp/.4bpp.lz and .gbapal/.gbapal.lz). You might need to delete the old .4bpp/.4bpp.lz and .gbapal/.gbapal.lz files if make didn't work correctly on the first go around, but it should run gbagfx automatically.

If you've edited multiple files and don't mind doing a full rebuild, you can also force a rebuild by using make -B.

To clarify, you don't have to export the palettes of a sprite with gbagfx necessarily. Image editors like Photoshop or GraphicsGale allow to export .pal palettes too.
