porymap VS universal-pokemon-randomizer-zx

If you don't want to code, Porymap is an incredible tool for making custom maps and changing Pokemon encounters.

Seems doable, yeah, especially if you have at least basic C knowledge. If you get the build tools set up, there's already some follower code available, so you wouldn't even have to re-engineer that yourself. And PoryMap can probably handle a lot of the basic edits you want to make.

You can look at the pokeemerald decomp. Instead of using binary tools like Adcance Map and HMA you are editing the source code with a simple text editor and porymap. The pokeemerald has everything up to gen8 (mons, moves, abilities). An example hack that was made with the decomp is Inclement Emerald.

Porymap is the best gen 3 map editor tool, but like the other replies imply it's for decomp hacking only.

decomp has an equivalent to advance map called porymap. it's really not all that different to use. i checked your post history and you mention having trouble with adding new tiles in advance map, i can say from personal experience that adding new tiles in porymap is very easy.

the other option i can think of is the pokemon emerald decomp. you would have to learn a bit to get a decomp working, then use pokeemerald-expansion's pokemon_expansion branch as a base. once you have that decomp set up you could just use porymap to change wild pokemon locations and make those pokemon available in the wild.

porymap!

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That guide is outdated.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.
