[Other] National Dex and E4

[Dark_Starmie]

Am I right in thinking that if I include Johto or Hoenn Pokémon in my hack they won't evolve before getting the national dex? And I'm sure I've read that giving the player the natdex early in the game messes up the elite four.

Is that right?

I'm not sure about the Elite Four being messed up, but there is indeed a limiter that prevents Pokémon from evolving if their index is outside the regional dex. Unless you feel like modifying the code to change the limiter, giving the national dex is a very easy way to bypass the evolution problems.

1) Unless you're ROM Base is R/S/E? Yep.
You can fix it very easily thanks to @Darthatron tho.
It's just a matter of going to the offset "CE91A", then replace the bytes "97 28 14 DD" for "00 00 14 E0" and it's done, if i'm not wrong.

2) I don't know about that, but it doesn't make too much sense :/
I mean.. what would have to do the E4 with the Pokédex? :/
