Need help with automattically giving starters

[OwenBushBaby]

im gonna make an open worldish game rom hack for firered. i dont want oak to be in the game at all. i want a pokeball at the exit, when interacted with this pokeball, i want it to give you an Eevee, so i copied the code from the pokeball in celadon that give you eevee, it says the text, but dosent give you eevee, the pokemon tab dosent appear at all. I assume its cause I dont have the Pokedex, but i dont know how to give special items, please help! (also i want to give the player the national pokedex, not the normal one)

The pokemon tab and the pokedex tab in the start menu don't appear until you set some flags for them.
Do setflag 0x828 for the pokemon option
Do setflag 0x829 for the pokedex option
