Research: HGSS ROM HACK Freezing after Whitney

[eitajulio]

Hey, guys! I trying to make my first gen IV ROM HACK of HGSS, something simple, just increasing the difficulty of gym leaders and other boss fights to hard mode and uptdating move stats, etc, but I ran into a problem yesterday that I don't know what I did wrong or how to solve it: after the Whitney battle, when she's crying, when I go to leave and the girl tells me to go talk to Whitney again, every time I cross that arch, the game freezes. I have no idea what I did wrong or how to solve it. Can anyone help me?


Info: I'm just editing the game on PPRE because I'm really new to Rom Hacking and don't know how to work with code. But I'm simply raising levels and giving pokemon better movesets, I'm not even adding new pokemon top trainer teams, for exaple, Whitney still just have two Pokemon, a lv. 25 Clefable and a lv. 26 Miltank.

howdy! ppre is rather outdated and tends to slowly corrupt roms as it is used more and more--i would strongly recommend using DSPRE to both hack and script as it is much more polished and supported

one thing that comes to mind is that it fails to append the learnset termination bytes to learnset files when you use all of the slots, resulting in pokemon learning random moves on levelup that don't make any sense if you look to fill out their learnsets.
