Adding fakemons is the same process as adding regular pokemons to Fire Red(for ex adding Tyrunt in a Fire Red rom hack). I assume you already have the fakemons you want to add(if not you can draw them yourself or ask someone more experienced to help you with it) then you need the sprites for them(remember 64 by 63 and 16 colors and the first color has to be the background color cause otherwise when you enter a battle you can see the background instead of being transparent normally you obviously dont see it). You can use Hex Editor which is very good because it automatically fixes anything wrong with your sprite just make sure to click the SMART option when it asks you. You can chose between 3 options but I chose SMART for the reason I already told you. It also repoints the new sprite so you dont have to do it yourself. If you are not using it I highly recommend as it is a very useful/good tool or tools should I say in a single one.

I did this as well putting some random fusions in a rom just to see if it works and yes it did. Pretty obvious but still needs mentioning make sure you change whatever needs to be changed if for ex you replace Bulbasaur but the new fakemon is a Ground type for ex it will be weird to leave it as Grass/Poison with Overgrow as an ability. These as well as the other stuff is very easy to do even without Hex Editor this is a reminder to change the info for the new fakemon so people dont get confused when the type or ability or anything else seems weird.
