Learning Pokerom Hacking (Beginning with Advance Map)

[applin_the_derplin]

Hi everyone! As you can see I am new to the hacking community but anyway I wanna start my own little ambitious Emerald Rom Hack.
I already saw some Tutorial Videos on YouTube and read some threads here but still need help to understand how to change the beginning point of the game.
In addition, it would be nice if someone could tell me if the 'truck beginning scene' is somehow changeable.
To tell you a bit about my hack: I want it to be a mostly wasteland/desert region (that's why choosed emerald because of Route 111 and the mirage tower). So, is it possible to change the beginning town/spawn point in route 111 (the desert)?

You can use GBA Intro Manager to change the spawn point, position etc. But keep in mind the flags and scripts set in those maps, as those are important.
