Well people tend to give less credit than what they're do and your script was waaay better than my first script by far. :P
Before I go into details, I'd like to point you to this thread (
https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=302347) as it is very helpful in showing new hackers what flags are safe to use and what flags the game uses beforehand so messing with them would be catastrophic to the game.
Second, I know you know that when you ask a yes or no question, you're going to be using the "msgbox @[blahblah]
0x5" command, not the 0x6 one. Since yo're using the 0x5 command, you know that you're gonna have to be using the "compare 0x800D 0x1/if 0x1 goto @yes" thing for at least one of the answers (if you still don't understand why you don't need it the second time, feel free to ask).
Thirdly, the dynamic at the top is where the game starts to find free space to put your script in and so when you put "dynamic 0xFFFFFF" you're telling XSE to start insterting your script starting at the space "0xFFFFFF" which is at the very end of the ROM. Free space starts at 0x800000 for Fire Red, so you can just use that instead.
Fourthly, you placed the setflag 0x1 so that when you activate the script in-game, the NPC will face you, the game will check that the flag was set and since it wasn't it won't do the "goto", the NPC will ask the question, then the game will set the flag and then the script will end. Then once you talk to the NPC again, it will read the flag that you set and then do the goto, but clearly that's not optimal.
Fifthly, and finally, the setvar for the starters is a bit of a complicated thing because it requires two scripts to get it done, but easy once you see how simple it is. The link I showed you also provided a list of the variables that can be used safely with a few exceptions, so for this demonstration I'll use the first safe var, 4012. Say the player picks a Bulbasaur, then after you do the givepokemon command write "setvar 0x4012 0x1" so now you know that the variable 4012 has been given the number 1 because of the Bulbasaur. If they chose Charmander, then use "setvar 0x4012 0x2" so the number 2 is associated with Charmander. Same with Squirtle, "setvar 0x4012 0x3" right after the givepokemon command and know in your mind that if 4012 is 3 if and only if Squirtle was chosen--as the number would be different for every pokemon.
(Sorry, had to break this into two paragraphs because one big chunk can be daunting to read)
Now right after the NPC asks the player what pokemon they got in your script right now, If the player chooses yes (compare 0x800D 0x1/if 0x1 goto @yes) then at the beginning of your new "org @yes" string put the "compare 0x4012 0x1 (or whatever it is, depending on the pokemon the player claims of having) and the "if 0x0 goto @lying" where the "#org @lying" string is the NPC saying they don't believe the player and ending the script. I know I'm not the best at explaining, so I went ahead and fixed the first part of your script for you, but only for Bulbasaur so you can get a feel.
Now this edit combined most of what I was talking about, including the right starter check. Things could be done differently, but hopefully you'll understand through all that chaos. One final note I'd like to leave is that the game won't automatically fit your text into the textboxes and if your line is too long it will just run through the text box and look unprofessional. There is a text box adjuster or something like that in XSE that you can put in your words and it will automatically add in the necessary commands to make the words fit in the box, so I'd recommend using that. As usual, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to respond to this thread! Happy hacking!
