[Tool] PGE Pokemon Editor Error

[Tomahawk1996]

Hi all, I'm making a Fakemon Hack of Fire Red.

I just tried to edit Raticate in the Pokemon Editor and the it straight up crashed on me... I got an error
report which I'll attach but I can't see what the problem is and I don't really understand the error report
itself. Any advise will be greatly appreciated.

I have back ups of different versions of my hack but don't really want to roll back if it can be avoided.

Thanks in Advance

I've had a look and the last back up works fine with Raticate... I think it might have something to do with expanding the moveset of two pokemon (Originally Metapod and Rattata) One of them I repointed with finding free space, the second (the ratatta) I expanded the current pointer to have an extra moveslot, as the free space finder was just bringing up the one it had already found for metapod's (Which I expanded to 12 slots I think). I'd love to know what has gone wrong and why, I like hearing about how things work in the ROM etc. Hope this helps provide more info!

It seems that when you expanded Rattata's moveset without repointing, you overwrote the start of Raticate's moveset with the end of Rattata's, which has broken it. Almost any time you want to make something bigger in the ROM, you need to repoint it to avoid overwriting existing data. If free space finder isn't working as expected, you can find free space yourself using a hex editor.
