[Other] Putting Mew in FireRed

[cyanidebaby]

To check that my scripts were working I added a couple of mews on Route 1. They arrived as I expected, but since Mew will notoriously not obey in FireRed, is there some script I'll need to make them obey in my hack of it?

open a hex editor, go to 0x1D402 and change the byte from 97 to 00, this will make every mew obey. credit to colcolstyles

Thanks so much for the method!

I'm still having slight issues with hex, and I feel really noobish now but the byte value of 0x1D402 reads 49, is that what you'd expect to see or am I in completely the wrong place?

It should be 97. Mind posting a screenshot?

Thanks, can't post a pic yet as i'm too new, but line 0001D400 reads:

CD 21 49 00 88 42 0F D0 28 88 78 43 80 19 0B 21

That's weird, I have that at 0x1D3EC. Try looking up the same address in a clean FR ROM.

Those are the bytes at 1D3EC in a vanilla FR ROM. Here's what you can do. Six bytes from there is the "97" byte you want to null out. Also, make sure you don't use Pokemon ID 0x0 (which you shouldn't), because if you do this solution won't work. In the case you're using ID 0x0 for some odd reason, you will need to null out 4 bytes instead.

Actually I suggest that you just null out the whole thing anyways, because there's a pointless bl to a function whose output doesn't matter if we turn 97 to 0x0 and 3 OP codes worth of set up.

Thanks, turns out it was a ROM issue, tried another ROM and it worked :)
