Well it sounds like a glitch...

You would have to find the overworld palette using an emulator then find the palette in hex and change it in there.

can anybody get me a tutorial for doing this? i havent done anything like this before

edit
thanks for the answer Blazichu!
i just need to know how to do that now :P

There's a patch that decompresses the title screen. I can't find it on my hard drive, but you can look around.

Should be easily done with a hex editor and table file: just search for a name that's in the credits and there you go.

still need to find which bits to edit in the hex editor to make Hiro sprite go blue...
 
It seems I did have the patch. Here it is.

B8EE-B8F5 is the hex for the player's palette. Note that this changes the colors of the palette, not which palette is loaded -- thus any other character with the same palette would have their colors changed as well. There should be some way to change which palette is loaded; I'll see what I can find.

this is a hacking quick questions program, not for emulation

but google visual Boy Advance and you should get the program you need.
 
could somebody give me the offsets for a cuttable tree, a rock smash rock and a strength rock, please.

EDIT:
actually, found it already, sorry.

ok guys i need a few things now to help me progress with my crappy gold hack that im using to teach myself everything i need

1) how do i make it so when i change the colours only my main character goes blue (for example)? when i do it by hex editing the palette everything using the same red as the Hiro sprite becomes that colour e.g. mom, pokeballs (overworld), items,

2) how can i remove the animation from the title screen? i have removed the sparkles and the moving picture of hooh, but how do i stop it from making anything i put in its place move?

3) where can i get trainer battle customizer?

4) is there a patch to decompress more of the pokemon gold tileset (e.g. the bit where ho oh is) other than the bit that decompresses the title screen
 
Hi guys! I have a question about AdvanceMap.

Is it possible to replace maps in other folders (for example I want to replace the Litterroot Town Map into the Petalburg Map). If yes, then how can I do this?

I've been looking but haven't found a way to load variable palettes yet. It's definitely possible though, Koolboyman's Pokemon Prism does it.
3) where can i get trainer battle customizer?
I don't know of one offhand. It's not hard to do it in a hex editor, though. Just find the trainer's name, and immediately following it will be a control code from 00 to 03. The structure depends on the control code:

[00]
[Level] [Pokemon] (up to 6 times)
[FF]

[01]
[Level] [Pokemon] [Attack1] [Attack2] [Attack3] [Attack4] (up to 6 times)
[FF]

[02]
[Level] [Pokemon] [Item] (up to 6 times)
[FF]

[03]
[Level] [Pokemon] [Item] [Attack1] [Attack2] [Attack3] [Attack4] (up to 6 times)
[FF]
2) how can i remove the animation from the title screen? i have removed the sparkles and the moving picture of hooh, but how do i stop it from making anything i put in its place move?

It's easiest to modify the title screen with assembly -- you can kill the sparkles by NOP'ing the pointers to the various parts of the title screen. If you don't know assembly then it might be more difficult.

I've PMed CBM in the hope of finding out
assembly is ASM right?

Assembly is really simple to learn, especially if you already know pointers. I do most of my ASM hacking with a list of opcodes and a hex editor. A fairly good tutorial on the subject is ASMSchool, and RHDN has a list of opcodes. You'll also want the pandocs as a reference.
