[Help] I can't edit Pokémon of some trainers (HeartGold)

    Hello, I'm new here, a few days ago I thought about modifying Pokémon HeartGold to make it a more entertaining challenge, for this I thought about modifying the Pokémon of the Gym Leaders, Elite Four, Rival and some route trainers (not many), also to change the wild Pokémon that appear on the routes.

    So far so good, I downloaded SDSME and got ready to modify.

    The problem is that there are some trainers like the Rival, where the attacks appear unchecked, as if implying that it cannot be edited, if I check the attacks box I can change them, and I also included another Pokémon to Rival Team, but once I enter to play the changes do not appear, on the other hand with the trainers that the attacks do not appear unchecked if the changes that I make to the team appear, for example with the Gym Leader Pegasus if it has worked for me to modify his team, but instead with Rival (which is one of the many fights that appears with unchecked boxes in SDSME) the changes don't work, I don't understand why.

    I tried another editor and downloaded PPRE but the same thing happens, that is, there are trainers whose options appear unchecked and it won't let me edit them.

    For example here, as you can see, it doesn't let me change the attacks, every time I edit a trainer that appears like this (with the attacks unmarked) the changes he makes to his team have no effect (neither add more Pokémon, nor change the levels your Pokémon, or check the attack box and change its attacks). On the other hand, if when looking for a trainer in the list, his attacks do not appear unchecked, the modifications that he makes work in the game.

    And in PPRE the same thing, the trainers that have settings that I can't modify like the attacks, although I modify other things (or the attacks by checking the different attacks box) do not show the changes in the game, instead the trainers that come without those boxes grayed out (unusable) if it reflects the changes you make to it later in the game.

    Help me please.

    I think you're posting in the wrong forum section. This section is for Game Development based on Pokémon Essentials. Your question seems to refer to ROM Hacks. You should ask your question here.

    (Or wait till a moderator moves your topic to the abovementioned forum section)

    Thank you! Here we go!.
     
    Can you please stop creating this thread in the wrong section of the forum? This is the 3rd time you're doing this.
    You're clearly not using neither the disassembly nor the decompilation projects, so why do you insist in posting this binary hacking related question in the Decomps & Disassemblies Section?
    Your question goes here, not here.

    It's my bad.
    He posted in the Game Development subforum, which is only for Pokémon Essentials stuff. I don't know anything about the difference between decompilation / disassembly and binary hacking, for me it was the same thing, so I told him to post here because I thought it was the general subforum for these questions!
     
    Several days have passed since I wrote the post but no one has responded yet, there must be some way to edit the rival's Pokémon team, because if not, no one would hack Pokémon HeartGold roms where they modify everything, hopefully someone can help.
