    Hello, I am currently trying to make a small romhack on pokemon Emerald, and I was wondering if there is a tool or a way to make it so that the player starts with pokemon already in the "someone's pc"?

    I think the command "writebytetooffset" should be useful, then you can write all data of the Pokémon you want into the RAM.

    It definitely won't be. First, Pokemon are encrypted using a value that depends on your trainer ID, so while you might be able to write a Pokemon with a specific OT, you'd never get to write a Pokemon that belongs to the current trainer. Second, you can't write to the PC since that exists in the saveblock which moves around (DMA). writebytetooffset requires a static address.

    You'd need ASM. Something like this exists for FireRed, and it shouldn't be hard to port it to Emerald.

    it's really good, and I really hate working with RAM. ^^
     
    I have a few questions as well since I am too trying to start my own Pokemon game.

    I want to replace all the pokemon trainers in Fire Red with my own characters including their over world sprites. Is that possible to do in fire red? or would I be better off doing that in HG/SS?

    I also wanted to customize a few towns but am not sure if fire red has enough room for me to do that so the same question applies. Would I be better off using a HG/SS ROM?
