    Hi!

    I'm fairly new to hacking and I'd like to make something of my own. I'd like to work with pokemon White. I understand that this one is one of the most difficult to work with, but I don't plan on doing anything too complex and really like the gen 5 plot and pokemon.

    Things I'd like to do:
    -Change which pokemon spawn where
    -Edit the levels of starters, trainers, and wild pokemon
    -Alter the regional pokedex
    -Alter some dialog
    -Add some of these pokemon overworld sprites (https://www.spriters-resource.com/ds/pokemonblackwhite2/sheet/48050/) and have some be standing in homes or around town.
    -I see that pokemon white 2 has sprites for gym leaders of past games (https://www.spriters-resource.com/ds/pokemonblackwhite2/sheet/48049/). Could I input events where, say, have Volkner standing in the corner of a route and have him challenge you to a battle when talked to, or would this be too difficulty?

    Are these things extremely difficult or could a noob with a guide and some tools accomplish them?

    Thanks!

    There's not really a guide to hacking gen 5, nor lots of tools, which is essentially why gen 5 is so hard to hack. What you want to do doesn't look too hard though, though look for yourself, there's not really that much research. If you don't know asm/hex editing, I probably wouldn't recommend hacking white
