Ok so I have a question that probably seems silly to most.
I have been trying to create a Rom Hack from scratch and it is seriously hard work. After adding new moves and slots for new pokemon, and editing the original pokemon and their stats, movesets etc I have realiesed that the new empty slots for Pokemon were broken in PGE and weren't editable. So I tried adding 1 new pokemon using the pge tool and now my rom is broken after weeks of work and I haven't backed it up in ages because I'm an idiot.
My quesiton is, is it frowned upon to use a rombase such as MrDollSteak's rombase to build a hack with custom characters, story etc, or is the purpose of a rombase to simply take the harder work out of rom hacking for new hackers as long as everything is properly credited/
