    Okay so, I've been sitting on this for like 4 hours now and looked for help all around and nothing seems to fix my problem. (I'm using Pokemon Emerald)
    My goal:
    After the catching tutorial, I want the player to have a level 5 Ralts in his party, obtain the Pokedex, and Running shoes.
    Note: The player begins the catching tutorial with 0 Pokemon and can't access the Pokemon menu.

    What I tried:
    I found out that in Norman's gym, on advanced map, header tab, script 3 is what happens after the catching tutorial. This is the original script
    Spoiler:


    If I add this line in order to give the player the Ralts:

    givepokemon 0x118 0x5 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0

    It deletes a few lines from the the end of the code, including the release and end lines, which means it loops. Also, for some reason, it says "added aqua grunt to pokenav" before looping to the text again.
    I found the line:

    bufferfirstpokemon 0x0

    I assumed that this line makes it so you can see the Pokemon tab at your menu when you receive your first Pokemon (found it at Birch's lab) but no success there.

    I thought that I'm overwriting some scripts, so, in the beginning of the code, I added the lines:
    #freespace 0xFF
    #dynamic 0xE3D221
    #org @start

    Of course, when I tried these, I deleted the first "#org @0x2049A4" line from the original code.
    The results: Sometime I was able to compile, but results unchanged, and other times, it couldn't compile because no memory.

    I've seen a bunch of tutorials, read a ton of guides at this forum and I'll admit I'm stuck. Gonna need someone to hold my hand through this one, or better yet, manage to explain to me what am I doing wrong.

    Thanks in advance(d map)

    Actually, that's not the script you're looking for. The one you should be interested in is at 0x1DC32E. Decompiled via XSE:
    Spoiler:


    Also, a little tip for editing already existing scripts. It's mostly done this way:
    1. Find where you want your script to edit.
    2. Delete at least 5 bytes and replace it with goto to your custom script.
    3. In your new script make sure to include the 5 bytes you erased earlier and add your new thing.
    4. At the end of the script place a goto to somewhere in the old script or just end it.

    I took the script you gave me
    #org 0x1DC32E
    lockall
    special 0x28 //save whole player party
    special 0x12F //creates zigzagoon in user's party
    applymovement 0x2 0x81DC451
    applymovement 0xFF 0x81DC430
    waitmovement 0x0
    msgbox 0x81EC1F8 0x4 '"WALLY: [player][.]\nPOKéMON hide i..."
    special 0xA0 //creates the whole battle
    waitstate
    msgbox 0x81EC271 0x4 '"WALLY: I did it[.] It's my[.]\nMy ..."
    applymovementpos 0x2 0x82725A4 0x0 0x0
    waitmovementpos 0x2 0x0 0x0
    msgbox 0x81EC297 0x4 '"[player], thank you!\nLet's go bac..."
    closeonkeypress //turned that into goto 0x86B4704
    clearflag 0x4000
    setvar 0x4057 0x3
    fadedefault
    clearflag 0x4001
    special 0x29 //returns saved pokemon in special 0x28
    setvar 0x4085 0x1
    warp 0x8 0x1 0xFF 0x4 0x6C
    waitstate
    releaseall
    end

    Erased from "closeonkeypress" (bolded for reference) and wrote goto "0x86B4704"
    In a completely different map, I created a person, and gave him the following script
    '---------------
    #org 0x6B4704
    closeonkeypress
    clearflag 0x4000
    setvar 0x4057 0x3
    fadedefault
    clearflag 0x4001
    special 0x29
    setvar 0x4085 0x1
    warp 0x8 0x1 0xFF 0x4 0x6C
    waitstate
    setflag 0x860
    setflag 0x861
    setflag 0x8C0
    givepokemon 0x280 0x5 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0
    releaseall
    end

    Results: Nothing. It's working as if I've done nothing to change it.
    Note: I tried both givepokemon 0x280..........(decimal) and givepokemon 0x118...........(hex)
