I was building a ROM Hack of my own recently using Pret's Pokeyellow, but I ran into a roadblock; To my understanding, Pokémon Yellow's maximum supported Pokémon is ~254.
This is because the Pokémon Species index (among many other indexes) is 8-bit.
Pokecrystal has previously been converted to 16-bit indexes by someone else.
I wish to do the same to Pokeyellow, but I would need help.
I am looking for people that know Assembly code/the decomp in general.
The goal is to convert the Pokémon Species index into 16-bit (NPC Trainer indexes will be separated from Pokémon Species, they'll likely be converted to 16-bit as well) and then if it goes well, likely the indexes for Moves and maps (and maybe items). If there is another index that would be useful to expand, that may be considered as well.
This will not only make my own hack possible, but open the door for many other potential ROM hacks built off Pokeyellow.
No other features will be added to this specific hack. Just like Pokecrystal16, this is not meant to be a complete hack; Just an improved engine for ROM hacks to use.
Here's the discord server. It isn't much but it doesn't need to be much.
Here's Pret's Pokeyellow
Here's Pokecrystal16's Mon ID branch
(I am 70% sure that I am allowed to post a thread recruiting for this type of thing, if I'm wrong it's okay to delete this or whatever)
