PokEditor VS universal-pokemon-randomizer-zx

PPRE should be avoided if that's possible. i believe pokeditor is the recommended tool for modifying things like evolution data.

Now there is one tool I didn't mention not because it's bad but I think it's the wrong time to start using it https://github.com/turtleisaac/PokEditor

pokeditor takes pokemon data from the rom and constructs it as a spreadsheet, then re-inserts that data from the spreadsheet after you've made changes. this makes it compatible with existing hacks. it's a command-line tool without a user-friendly interface but it if you're willing to put up with that it is the recommended option for gen 4. it also seems to have gen 5 support but that may be buggy.

editing pokemon base stats and stuff can be done thru pokeditor. it says it has support for gen 5, but there are no gen 5 templates, so... read the instructions closely and use it with caution. there might be other editors for pokemon data out there too.

Ideally this feature gets merged into the actual project over here, but I was too excited to wait for that to happen. But please understand this is an extension of an already fantastic tool called the Universal Pokemon Randomizer ZX.

Want to run my seed? here it is (mirror), this file is to be used with Universal Pokemon Randomizer zx.

Another tool you could use to get a Yanmega as a starter is Universal Pokemon Randomizer ZX. Even though its main purpose is to randomize roms, you can also use it to just change the starter selection.

That guide is outdated. Nowadays, you can open a regular 3ds rom in Universal Pokemon Randomizer ZX, and output either a LayeredFS patch for a real 3ds, or a cxi file for Citra.

This randomizer supports gen 6 and 7 too I believe

Here is a link for the Randomizer on GitHub.
