So I have started planning a rather simple rom hack for heartgold, just tweaking certain things to fit in the theme I am aiming for. This is my first time doing something like this, and although I am still in the planning phase, I would like to know if what I am planning is even possible.
I am just going to list every type of modification I have planned so far, and although I know for certain that pretty much all of them can be done with enough coding, I would like to know what the easiest way is to achieve these goals.
The entire list of changes I am making are:
1. Change some sprites both in battle and in the overworld
2. Change the name of a few pokemon
3. Change the stats of a few pokemon
4. Change some of the dialogue
5. Add an npc that blocks the way to mahogany town until beating jasmine
6. Change some enemy teams (different mons, abilities, moves and levels)
(Another quick note about 6, want to give the rival a different starter other than the 3 starter options)
7. Change the title screen (only the sprite that says "pokemon heartgold")
8. Replace a few music tracks
9. Add new unique music to some battles that didn't have them
If anyone can help by saying if these are possible and, if so, how, it would be much appreciated. Do keep in mind that I have little to no experience in rom hacking, so if one of these changes requires me to recode half the game, than I am not doing it. That was a bit of an extreme example, but you get my point.
If anyone ends up helping me, thanks in advance.
