pokefirered VS universal-pokemon-randomizer-zx

Definitely definitely look at doing your project as a decomp using pokefirered or The Complete Fire Red Upgrade.

Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire, Pokémon FireRed/LeafGreen and Pokémon Emerald.

The quickest way would be to edit the decompilation. All the graphics are stored there as separate files there allowing you to easily replace them.

The "Person ID" is what I was referring to in my previous reply. You should write the ID of a flag there. Then make sure the flag is cleared if you want the NPC to appear and make sure it's set if you want it to not appear. You can find a list of valid and unused flags here.

Or use the pokefirered source code decompilation project.

You will have to program those mechanics into the game. You can do that by using the pokefirered decompilation.

If you're just now trying to get into romhacking, the best thing to do is to check out the pokefirered decomp project here. I have the most up to date video tutorial series for the decomps, I use pokeemerald in my tutorials but a large part of everything is the same. We have access to the full decompiled source code, so it's really easy to make changes to whatever you want and the workflow is practically identical to what the actual Pokemon devs would have been doing, whereas binary hacking, the old outdated method, is its own entire thing.

Weird question but, how do games which are coded like pokemon work? https://github.com/pret/pokefirered/tree/master/src for example this disassembly in c. Seems like each component has its own file, like battle.c or trade.c etc. How do these components communicate with each other? How and where does the main gameloop run? I would be very glad to get more info and write something like this game on my own (each component in own file, not pokemon 2)) ), because I'm not good at game architecture and cant resolve this on my own. thx in advance

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That guide is outdated.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.

Pokemon Randomizer ZX is a Java app that can randomize anything from Game Boy to 3DS. If you are not able to run Randomizer ZX, you can use this web version which can randomize anything from Game Boy to DS.
