How to change starters to new added Pok?mon?

I just added some Pok?mon from gen4 into my rom hack (using G3HS). I wanted to change the starters to new added Pok?mon but I found that AStarter don't shows the Pok?mon I just added.So is there a way to let AStarter to show new Pok?mon?(like hex editing) or maybe other tools will do?

If A-Starter uses.ini files, you can manually edit them to make the tool work with your expanded ROM.
Otherwise, you can easily modify the givepokemon line inside the 3 Pok? Balls' scripts in Oak's Lab and recompile them.

Just in case, the givepokemon command works like this:
givepokemon 0xPok?mon'sNumberInHex 0xLevelInHex 0xItemInHex 0x0 0x0 0x0

You don't strictly need to recompile the script, but it's the safest option.
If you don't want to waste space in your ROM, you can disable "Refactorization" in XSE's Decompilation Options.
By doing that, once you use the Decompile button in XSE you'll get the original script of whatever offset you've opened.
As long as you don't add new letters or lines of code and only replace the already existing ones, nothing bad should happen once you recompile it.

Thanks a lot, that really help a lot. I never know that script has to be decompile before editing before this.
