[Other] Choose gender from overworld?

[Dr. Seuss]

In my hack I disable the oak intro and make a custom intro, but I need make the gender selection in a normal script via multichoice, but I don't know how to make it (I know how to make a multichoice, but I don't know how to make the gender selection works?

And for the names, I use the FBI Agent's ASM routine to use preset names of the heroes.

If I remember correctly the player's gender is a byte stored at 0x03005014 (0/m 1/f)
It may be as simple as a

writebytetooffset 0x3005014 0x#

# being what ever gender you would like to set.

For some reason that's not doing anything for me. Will this still work if you've previously selected boy/girl in the intro?

The trainer data is dynamic, meaning the trainer data is not something you can access directly. At 0x300500C, the game holds a pointer to the trainer data. You need to load the pointer, then add 8 bytes and load the following byte to get the gender. Following a pointer in a script isn't possible as far as I know. You'd need to use ASM.

@OP: I made one in the ASM resource thread for FireRed some time ago. Have a look.

EDIT: Maybe I didn't make one. You can let me know if I didn't :P

Thanks for the explanation, but my dear Javi4315♪ share me a routine to make this, because with WBTO command is impossible do it.

The routine for the gender swap via script is this:

.align 2
.thumb

push {r0-r1,lr}
ldr r0, .asdf
ldr r1, [r0]
mov r0, #0x0
ldr r0, .var_8000
ldrb r0, [r0]
strb r0, [r1,#0x8]
pop {r0-r1,pc}

.asdf: .word 0x0300500C
.var_8000: .word 0x020370B8
