Hi,

I have been trying to add pokemon into pokemon gold. I want to make it so that i can have more than 251 pokemon and don't want to replace any of the others. I can hex edit quite well and can change the sprites easily, i am wondering what offset the data for the pokedex is at. That would be really helpful and any other advice on how to go about this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

At a maximum you can add 4 more Pokemon. 0xFB is Celebi, 0xFD is the egg in most cases. You could go two-byte, but that would mean a lot of work. You will have to redo the ram map, most ingame scripts as well as many asm script to hold two-byte values for pokemon and of course you'd have to redo the save layout.

Also, there are some ingame checks for invalid Pokemon that will give you a "bad egg", so you will have to disable those.

cYa,

Thanks for the reply, given the advice i had already decided i wanted to add more than 4 pokemon so i think i will replace some other pokemon instead and i was wondering whether there was any way to change the pokemon icons than show up in the start menu. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I remenber that with action replay the limit of digits was 255 (FF)
so in pokemon gold you have empy 0-252-253-254-255,
maybe making a similar way like the items of lufia 2 (its had more of 255, and used 2 banks of 255 each for put more items)
but you need know asm or something.
