How to change starters in Fire red?

[TheMightyTrainer]

Are there any programs that can change the starter aside from A-Starter? It just gave me the error "Not enough resources."

It's pretty easy to change the starters by editing the scripts where they're given (this is essentially just what A-Starter does). In vanilla FireRed, they're at:

• 0x169BAB (Bulbasaur)
• 0x169D78 (Squirtle)
• 0x169DAE (Charmander)

or you can get to them by using A-map and opening the scripts for each of the Pokeballs on the table in the lab. In the (fifth) line:

setvar 0x4002 0x1

change the last number (0x1, 0x4, 0x7) to the hex code for whatever Pokemon you want (remember to convert this number from decimal to hex!).

Alternatively, just use a hex editor and change the bits at:

• 0x16BB5 (Bulbasaur)
• 0x16D82 (Squirtle)
• 0x16DB8 (Charmander)

to the hex code for whatever Pokemon you want.

Of course, this won't change the text that occurs at those points or affect what Pokemon your rival gets, but it will change the starter you receive as well as the preview picture displayed while you're choosing.

You have to edit the trainer data. Every battle. Three times.
