Tool: YAPE (Yet Another Pokemon Editor)

[Darkest Shade of Light]

You might just need to try and re-download the YAPE program. With my YAPE file I downloaded I extracted all and then went into the extracted folder. In that folder I made a shortcut to YAPE and put that on my desktop without touching anything else. Then I just drag and drop my Pokemon Emerald.gba rom into it. Also when opening you're rom in YAPE make sure you have it set to GBA Roms (*.gba) next to the File name:

That would end up being the 13th time that I would have re-downloaded...
By unhandled exception, I mean the box pops up BEFORE the program is running...
And yes, I do have it set to (*.gba).
I have tried everything I've read on this entire thread (took forever) and nothing has worked. I'm thinking of just learning C++ and making my own program!

Is there any way to create you're own pokemon and insert them into your hacks? Am I just in the wrong area

There are 25 free slots. The ???. You need to import the sprites and and edit all the stats. For the attacks, just see my post in top of yours.

Could you give me a link with a tutorial or give me a little more in depth instruction on how to do it? Also how would you create the new pokemon image and import it? As I'm sure you can tell this is a very new thing for me and I don't know anything about it. Thanks for the help

Well I guess I'm out of ideas on how to get it to work then sorry hopefully someone else can help. Good luck with learning your C++

Well, I don't really need YAPE now because I figured out how to HEX edit Pokédex data... BTW, I've already started C++. I just never finished...

This is a good thread. There are betters but there are worst too. On the last step, the attacks, just go to the last post, it's a post, by my xD, on how to add attacks without removing others.

Incredible, this is really the best one I've found.
It's easy to use, and the design and such is fantastic.
Excellent work! I can finally have Gyarados learn Crunch and Outrage.

All it needs is a sprite editor, so it's possible to make your own Pokedex. At least I think you could do that.

- YAPE doesn't suck
- How can you say it sucks if you can't even use it?

You need to start with a clean rom, and do all the pokemon editing first, then work on the rest, makes it easier and more likely that YAPE will work fine

I couldn't get it to work at first, then I used a clean rom, all was fine. Found later that it had been because I applied the Day/Night Patch to it

 

[Yes nah Chansey]

Wow this program is awesome thanks! But how do you remove pokemon from the original pokedex and reorder them?

 

[Volroc]

love this thing, i never wouldve guessed it was possible to get rid of that annoying trade evolution crap lol

I cannot get any of my roms to work either. I downloaded microsoft.net 3.5 but it still tells me: Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. And once i get into the program, I am unable to load any roms and it says: Cannot load ROM. ROM Configuration Not Initialized> Can someone please help?

No one ever answered that question, at least not in the next few posts. Its my problem too. HELP! (the ROM part)

I had the same problem originally, and I ended up redownloading YAPE because I thought that I somehow messed up the download and lost files.

You need to make sure that you're using Windows XP, have the .Net 3.5 Framework installed, use a clean ROM, and make sure that using YAPE to do all the Pokemon Editing is the first thing you do, or that you at least start using it before you do anything else. ***YOU CANNOT APPLY THE DAY/NIGHT PATCH BEFORE FINISHING WITH YAPE*** YAPE will no longer be able to open with the ROM you are using (At least this is what I have run into when trying to use both)

These are the things I did and I got my copy of YAPE to work fine.

This. My brother had the exact same problem and we installed the new .Net framework, now it works perfectly fine.

Tried another ROM. Either the ZIP file is wrong or something else is. And I do have NET 3.5, if its there its installed right?
I only need it to edit the Pokedex and the evolutions. Pokemon Amplifier crashes when I try to access Celebi or the ??? Pokemon
I found Team Snagem's pokedex editors, if they work it solves half my problem. I hadn't seen it cause i didnt know Polls included tools.
Update: Snagem's tool only is good for order editing, as far as i know. But i downloaded Evolution editor Pro. hope it works

 

[tetef]

how do you use it ir dose not worki

I could never get the Team Snagem Tools to work correctly, but oh well.
Honestly, I hope you aren't trying to edit the ROM while it's still in a ZIP file, because if you are, no wonder it isn't working. There is nothing wrong with the download, it works fine, I installed it on my second computer, just to make sure it was working correctly. I've never used Amplifier, so I don't know what the deal is there with not being able to edit Celebi, in YAPE I was able to mess around with Celebi AND all the ?????? Pokemon Slots, just couldn't add Dex info to the ???'s slots.

It does work, click this link ---> LINK OF HELPFULNESS and you will see what you need to do.

Exactly!!!!

I love YAPE. It is easy to understand and use.

Where I see this possibly going next is in a Pokemon Adder. Something along the lines of YAPE but w/ D/P pokemon, and a thing where you can decide which pokemon to have in your game or not.

 

[ganon391]

awesome download.
I appreciate it.
Also a quick question: Is there a tool I can download to add all 386 pokemon into a game, sort of like Pokemon Emerald 386?
Much appreciated.

 

[choatix]

It is possible to simply edit the wild pokemon in areas using Advance Map.

Of course, using XSE for scripting can help with making legendary events as well, but Advance Map is the best program for the job :)

Getting an odd glitch with YAPE on several roms.

When I edit a Pokémon, and I evolve it in-game (Edited movesets, name(decap) among other things) then when they evolve in-game, they either go back to the level when they evolved (say pidgey evolves at level 18, when it evolves the pidgeotto is back to level 17) and some skip a level (say hoothoot evolves at level 20, then the noctowl suddenly becomes level 21).

Does this happen for anyone else? This was without me even editing the evolution data...
