Isn't that easily accomplished using Pokesav, or am I missing something?
Yes, you are missing alot. Sigh. People think Pokesav is some all powerful, all accomplishing program.

Anyways, Dr. Killa, you can use PPRE to do that. I assume you meant for HG/SS since you mentioned route 1. If you mean for DP you can use one of D-Trogh's programs for that.

No, it changes the Pokemon found in Canalave when swimming/fishing. As of now, you can't add new areas where Pokemon appear, just change the Pokemon that appear in areas.

Also, there's a slew of other DS Pokemon hacking tools. I actually made a minor Pokemon hack a while back. It wasn't great, mind you, but I made it. I think PokemonCommunity.com has a lot of Pokemon hacks and tools, or at least guides.

I think it's an empty slot, so there should be nothing appearing for that slot.

oh i tried this and it does make a ??? box appear, the kind that doesnt exist, like after your turn the match just ends

ALSO is it possible just to change the ablilities of pokemon, not pokesav, like edit the games memory so that all pokemon will have the abilities and moves i want

For trainer pokemon, go to project pokemon forums and search under their tools. You get a trainer editor where you edit NPC's pokemon as well what they look like.

As for your own in-game trainer sprite, that's a lot more difficult to edit. I'm currently trying to do this but it's hard because you need to know the offsets of there the game gets the palettes from as well as finding out how big the sprite sheet is in Tile Molester before you can edit it. With PokeTex you can easily recolour your own sprite though.

Hi, I didn't want to make new topic, so i'll ask here. How can I change Lucas' name when I have chosen Dawn as player character? I want him to be named "Diamond".
Cross it: Is it possible? What tools are required?

EDIT: Ok, I consulted certain specialist and played around with thenewpoketext. Now I have 2 requests.

1) I opened rom, extracted the gametext and altered it. According to tutorial now I have to patch msg.narq with modified .xml. The tutorial concerned HG/SS hacking, so I didn't realy figured out the thing with a/0/7. I patched and made the rom, but apparently it didn't work. Anybody know what did I miss?

2) Also how can I alter the name value? Character counterpart's name in some lines has forme of: \v0103\x0001\x0001
It's very similar to actual character's name value (\v0103\x0001\x0000 as it's stated in tutorial).
