Making Pokedex as National at the beginning?

[Ayakura]

I should definitely stop asking question... =A=

Anyway, i'm sorry if i created another topic, i didn't felt like posting again on my other thread (since it's not the same "subject").

yeah i have another problem (other was about .narc files, thx to cpan1 again !), well i'm not really in a hurry (cause i can wait for that) but still.

As the title says, how to enable the National Pokedex at the beginning without using cheats? it would be a little problem if, for example, the starters (here Turtwig/Charmander/Mudkip) won't evolve until i beat Ghetsis =s=.

(and if there is a solution, it is the same for B2W2? just asking, maybe i'll edit those games someday...)

The starters will just evolve without the national pokedex...that's only a problem in gen III.

But if you really want to add the national dex, you should do so by script editing.

Which tool allow me to do that? I think PPTXT only change texts so...

[cpan1]

Changing text won't really help in this case. Currently hex editing only will change scripts. Find the script that triggers national dex mode and move it so you somehow get N-Dex early. (I've never tried this before so I'm not 100% sure of script.) NPRE can help you view scripts.

Command 0x1C6 activates the national dex in B2W2; you'd have to inspect scripts in BW1 since the command #s are shifted around.

You have to hex edit a script file to include the instruction to add the national dex. Drayano's Blaze Black / Volt White 2 had the Rich Kid unlocker guy at the start of the game give the national dex.

Was looking for a script editor for BW, but seems that no tools exist for that...

I think Tinke is good for hexing' scripts, but i don't know what script have that event, do you know which one contains that? (i think it's when Juniper gives Pokedex, i'd like to replace that with National one)

EDIT : wasn't that a/0/0/2 or a/0/0/3 or something like that?

And maybe if i'm looking at it in hex, which command active the normal Pokedex? in that way i can found and replace the command °°

lol

"Event Scripts" are entirely different from "textual scripts"

There aren't any scripting programs for Gen V (although NPRE has parsing functionality for B2W2) so you're stuck editing the hex manually. I have a few tutorials on my youtube channel.

1C6 is just an enabler that doesn't give anything. Iirc all it does is set a flag. When the pokedex is booted by the player, it checks the flag to see if it should load in national mode. It's essentially an upgrade flag.

In a script, you can't just give the national dex... You have to give the pokedex (default dex) then upgrade it.
