Why are people still using buggy, unfinished, alpha tools?

Because DoesntKnowHowToPlay's Tutorial isn't newbie friendly at all.
And there isn't any usable ROM Base either.

In what way is it not newbie friendly? It tells you the address of every table, how big it is, and how to repoint them. It translates all ASM changes to byte changes at specific addresses. It literally gives to someone with zero knowledge of the pokedex and all pokemon species related functions the ability to expand the dex. The most you could say is that there are more steps involved than the typical tutorial, but that's because the sheer number of things involved in the number of pokemon. You could call it tedious, but none of the steps involved require the person reading the tutorial to have advanced knowledge.

Okay, tedious, that's the word.
Sorry, I have a hard time sometimes, thinking in the correct words to explain myself.
 
any working link for jpan's save block
 
"At 0xCE91A change the next 4 bytes to 00 00 14 E0. This makes the previously conditional branch into an unconditional branch, which fixes the evolutions."
I changed this, while it does work on normal level up evolutions it doesn't work on stone evolution pokemon.

Anyone know why?

probs because evolution methods have semi-separate routines (a lot of them branching back to level routine), and the item one doesn't
i'll look into it when i get access to a computadora

go to 0x126C4D and change the byte there to E0 to make stone evolutions work (doesnt figured that out)

Change 0x126C4D from $D9 to $E0. This makes the evolution stone branch unconditional. -ShaneM

EDIT: Someone apparently beat me to it...I should refresh my screen more often. Anyway, yeah the guy above me is correct.

Thanks guys it worked with no issues.

Are there other bytes I need to change for different evolution methods? (Happiness, etc.)
 
Help with the evolutions.

Evolutions work without National Dex:

This change works to a certain point, i have made a new evolution item (A link cable), to evolve traded pokemon, works like a normal evolution stone, and it can't evolve, for example, my seadra, hapiness works, but at least a new item doesn't...

And the item works if it's a kadabra evolving to alakazam for example.

Is there a possible fix with this or i need to find a new method?



I'm silly, saw the solution above :D, it's just change 0x126C4D from $D9 to $E0.
