Yeah, but the Japanese people have had their versions of the game out longer than ours have been out and us Americans don't seem to be as determined as they were. Anyways, the Japanese people probably wanted to get it done more than we wanted, so they probably worked harder at it.

You could do this for ALL Pokemon to starters. Find the National Dex Number like I said. Convert that to Hex, Reverse the bytes. If the hex is only 1 byte (AD,01,83,97,etc) then put a 00 after it. Mew would have been 151 (dec/national dex number) >> 97 (hex) >> put a 00 in front then reverse bytes: 00 97 >> 97 00
Does that make sense?
Also I went further in the game on my DS flash cartridge (R4) and Dawn SAID she had a Chimchar, although I never really checked.
I do suspect that the rival's starter Pokemon is actually at a different address. I believe it is the same with the Advance Generation Pokemon Games. Anyways, I did find another address, and if anyone wants to test it, go ahead. Edit it the same way I described in my earlier post.

Here are the other addresses I found:

Turtwig:
002B73EC

Chimchar:
002B73F0

Piplup:
002B73F4

In addition, I am pretty sure that hacking battles would not be very hard, even if they do have multiple Pokemon.

I just remembered something. I found that in the Hex of the file the all areas that PokeTEX edits seem to have the same label, so we could make a more complete PokeTEX list.txt file.

Edit:
Found some offsets for the Elite 4's Pokemon. Modified all five of Aaron's Pokemon to be level one Magikarps. I know I'm cheap, but I wanted to do a quick test. Sadly, they still have the original moves, not just splash, though they are still only level ones. ;)

So although we can hack battles, we can't hack moves? Finally, something to experiment with that's completely original :D lol.

probably nothing big, there's random text like that all over it. i actually found afew places where it said "anime"

Like somebody else said, I think, it would be interesting to try editing all the places it says polygon, etc.. I would assume it has something to do with the 3D rendering system they use to create buildings and towns.

meh, with all the stuff we know how to do now we've almost caught up

I wasn't aware that there was any Japanese hacking tools for D/P lol. What can they do that we can't? How far along are they? If we've "almost caught up", then they must have something worth playing with.

Well, i've used (i think) all of the japanese hacking tools we've found. there's poketex of course, then there was a pack of abunch of hacking tools called "pokemon rom changer" or something (i think there's a link in here). they only worked with japanese roms, but i managed to edit encounters, move power/type, and when pokemon learn moves. so were actualy ahead in someways, we just don't know how to edit moves. *Stares at gamefreakfatty* get to work... NOW!

I would NOT, it's probably something about the engine which is not what we want to hack.

Oh, l0ls.. Thanks.. Then I should play without playing other music :(
Too bad ^^

Erm.. And what about PokeDSPic?

You can't have it muted, but you can have it turned down. Not to mention, I'm sure you could find a way to block the sound from it without the emulator under the impression you have the sound muted. Trick it into thinking something else is your sound card, maybe?

you can't turn the sound down in no$gba
 
Couldn't you just turn down the sound on your speaker? [/commonsense]
 
It's not much, but I've been looking at the evolution data. I just compiled a reasonably vague guide on the tupes of evolution data. It's set out in the same way as the FR/LG/R/S/E games. You'll see in the guide that there are a few of them that I'm still unsure of. Like the Glaceon/Leafeon/Magnezone.
Spoiler:


I'll see if I can find anything else.
 
ive been searching all over for tools for hacking diamond and pearl, ive skimeed through this thread, and i cant find the links to any tools.

can any one help?
much thanx ;]

Well, I searched for '04 00 10 00 02 00' which is the evolution from Bulbasaur to Ivysaur in 3rd generation games, and luckily, it appears the same way. And I scrolled through all the evolution data, and marked down anything any new types, 0200, 0400, 0A00, etc.
And I got a few of each and checked how that Pokemon evolved. As an example, the Eevee>Glaceon Evolution is:
1A 00 00 00 D701

The way it evolves, according to Bulbapedia, is leveling up in Route 217. And since the 00 00 follows, it means there mustn't be any value's for the middle to change it, So that's why I assume it's 'Level Up in Route 217'. And the final double-byte is always, Pokemon to evolve to. Which you get through D701>reverse>01D7>hex-dec>471=Glaceon.
