  • pokeemerald

    Decompilation of Pokémon Emerald

  • basically, there are a lot of problems with downloading a ROM and editing it directly - one of which is that you rely on specific programs that might have compatibility problems and bugs. real game development is done with the game split into files, editing each file on its own, and then compiling it.

  • pokeemerald-expansion

    Feature branches for the pokeemerald decompilation. See the wiki for more info.

  • if you're making a kanto-based hack, you should almost certainly use CFRU. unless you're making an entirely new story from scratch, and you don't need any of the scripts from FRLG, in which case it might be worth rebuilding the region in the pokeemerald-expansion engine? decomp hacking is generally easier than binary hacking, so that's your advantage if you did it that way.

  • pokered

    Disassembly of Pokémon Red/Blue

  • here is a link to the pokered disassembly. it comes with instructions on how to install - just scroll down and click the link that says "see INSTALL.md". it can be difficult to work with disassemblies at first, so feel free to post here again if you have more questions.

  • pokeruby

    Decompilation of Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire

  • here

  • hgss-shiny-modifier

    Python script to modify the Shiny encounter rate in Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver for NDS

  • by "low" shiny odds, i assume you mean shinies are more common? you can try this python script - no coding skills required, you just need to be able to run python scripts (i.e. download python).

  • PokEditor

    Discontinued Multifunctional in-depth editor for Pokémon Gen 4 and 5 game data

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

  • DS-Pokemon-Rom-Editor

    New DS Pokemon ROM Editor, based on Nømura's 2020 edition. Expanded with loads of new features, bugfixes and better usability.

  • DSPRE is more modern than spiky's, try using its encounter editor and see if it works.

  • SaaSHub

    SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews. SaaSHub helps you find the best software and product alternatives

  • PokeExpansion

    Safe and dynamic Pokemon expansion in Pokemon Emerald version

  • for instance you said "i'm already using that" but i think that's unlikely. is it possible you're using dizzyeggg's pokeexpansion? what i linked is rhh's pokeemerald-expansion. they are similarly named but not related at all. you shouldn't use PGE with rhh's expansion, and i don't think python is involved in the setup at all.

  • universal-pokemon-randomizer-zx

    Public repository of source code for the Universal Pokemon Randomizer ZX
