    I am currently somewhat new to rom hacking, and since I want to make a pokemon hack of my own I would like to learn more. I know most basic stuff, how to edit maps, hot to do a trainer battle, etc. But I still have a few questions. I would really appreciate the help :/

    1. So I found out how to make a gym battle, how do I make my own badges? and how would I change what it looks like on trainer card and edit the name of it.
    2. If I make a map, how to I make it to where you can fly to a certain area on that map?
    3. What do I do to change how to get your starter in pokemon emerald?
    4. How would I make it to where you don't spawn in a car in pokemon emerald? Or is that not possible?
    5. Any tips to help me would be appreciated :) And thanks ahead of time!
     
    I can only answer some of your questions.
    1.) Google, i believe there's some tutorials out there.
    2.) I think this requires some knowledge on hex editing, i found some tutorials by linkandzelda on some website a long time ago, but i forgot it. LOL. Search it on google, you'll find it for sure.
    3. You can do it by editing the the script where prof birch gives you the pokemon. Or you can create a pokemon give script.
    4.) Yes it is possible, i think there's some kind of patch that i found a long time ago here. Search it.
     
    I've tried looking up the gym battle's/ changing badges but don't find anything. But thanks for the rest of the answers. I'll look it up!

    1) You can edit the existing badges in a program called unlz gba (the exact offsets to the image I don't know) For the name open your ROM in a hex editor, convert "Badge name" to hex then replace all occurrences with "New Badge name" in hex :)

    2) Set a flying point, there is also a tutorial for extending flight paths

    3) Simple script I believe

    4) I think this requires some ASM. Though it should be very simple to remove, also check around the forum. Undoubtedly someone has done it.

    5) np :P
