[ARCHIVE] Simple Questions (SEARCH BEFORE ASKING A QUESTION)

Would it be possible to create a hack of Emerald in which it would be possible to catch every single pokemon (Gen I-V) without trading? Even better, would it be possible to implement the maps from the corresponding maps of each generation so that the gyms and such could be completed for each region, and somehow connect these regions so it somewhat mirrors that show in the sense that you are the same person going to more than one region, and kind of starting over? Sorry for the run-on, having a hard time putting my thoughts into words.

The shortest answer is: everything is possible. However, you would need an infinite amount Of time, knowledge, and skills.
The first problem is that Emerald is a great base, but it isn't supported much, so you should find out stuff by yourself. Also, nobody has EVER completely inserted all Pokémon into a hack. Jambo51 has made progress, but he quite hacking.
With the maps comes the problem that gen 4&5 don't have maps like before, they have 3d models. This can especially be seen in the Distortion World, and a big part of gen5 maps.
Also, if you want al the regions, you would either have to reset progress at start of a new region which would make it like separate games, to alter the level cap, or make all Pokémon level up very slowly and edit the exp gain system. (Like Deoxys has with EV's). The last two are nearly impossible.

Unfortunately, many people have thought about this idea but realized how impractical it is. Going through every region would cause you to have all level 100 pokemon by at least the third region, as well as it getting boring from the same storyline every region. The short answer is no, it's just far too cray for a game. It is possible to expand the pokedex and make maps of a region, but it would take up too much space to recreate every region in one ROM and too boring to take off.
 
Yes, everything other than NPCs (OWs) have their own palettes.

Then why do Red's palette's mess up the overworlds' palettes when I edit them in NSE Classic? :( Sorry, noob here.

Just as gogojjtech said, everything OTHER THAN NPCs (OWs) have their own palettes. That means that OWs don't have their own separate palettes, but rather have to share palettes with one another. That's why if you change Red's OW palette, you will change other OWs that share the same palette.

I'm reeeally sorry; I didn't quite elaborate that. What I really meant was this:

I was editing Red's backsprites in NSE Classic. It messed up the palettes of the overworlds. Why? :(

Pointers. All of the sprite pallettes point to the same one. However, this is very easy to change. Just repoint it!

So then how difficult would it be to use FireRed as a base, and create it like a new ROM but just put in all of the pokemon?
 
Hello, I'm making a ROM hack, and I was wondering how I edit the type advantage chart? I know it's possible, because I've seen it be done before... If anyone has the link for one?

You meam all 649? I think the hardest things are abilities, move effects, and formes. As I said, Jambo51 was working on a 649 patch (just search for it because I can't post links yet), so if you are an ASM genius, you could try to finish it. But I don't think something like that will be done in the near future.
 
The guide in XSE won't open for me. It says "navigation to the website was canceled".
What should I do?

If you're talking about changing the types for each Pokemon, you can do so in YAPE (Yet Another Pokemon Editor).

Here is the download for that: link

Changing type advantage chart has nothing to do with Pokemon themselves...
It's the table that defines type advantages and disadvantages (like Fire is strong to Grass and weak to Water)

@DJG: I believe it works if it's repointed correctly.

When Jambo51 quit hacking, he turned the project over to me. As soon as I come off my hacking break, I will continue work on it and I will do my best to release a beta quickly. I just need to find an efficient way of reporting bugs, which there are a lot of at this stage. It is almost done, but there is still a lot of work left.
 
(I ddin't find it hre so I'm posting, sorry if someone already done )
