Separating two graphics sharing a palette

    (In FireRed) While in a battle, the symbol indicating a male Pokemon, the line below both trainer's pokeballs at the start of a battle, and the XP bar all share the same palette. The palette values controlling the color are located at 0xD11B94 & 0xD11B9A.

    I would like to rectify this, as I plan on changing the color of the xp bar but would like the others to remain unchanged. Unfortunately I cannot figure out how to change this and would appreciate any information as to how to go about it.

    So far all I have to go on is the offset the palette starts at (0xD11B84) and the offset for the pointers to it (0x260260, 0x26047C, 0x260484)

    EDIT: I was able to change the pokeball lines. The Pointers at 0x26047C & 0x260484 controlled those palettes, and so I just made a new palette and repointed them to it.
    However changing the pointer at 0x260260 results in both the xp bar and the male symbol changing. So I still have no idea what to do there.

    What if you just made the male and female symbol black? And proceed to change the palette? It would save a lot of trouble

    That's actually a very simple solution. Kind of laughing at myself for not thinking of that.

    I would prefer to not have to do that, I like having the color indication, but if I can't figure out a solution otherwise, I will do that.

    You wouldn't happen to know what the image offset(s) for the gender symbols is, would you?
