FRLG Summary Screen Freeze

[jereellison]

Trying to add in a Seel at the beginning of FRLG. I didn't want anything fancy, just Seel.

Got it into the game using PKHeX, but it keeps freezing when going to Seel's summary screen.

Any idea on how to address this? I've scoured Google, but can't seem to turn anything up regarding how best I could fix this, if it's even possible. Any help is appreciated.

EDIT: If it matters, I'm doing this on the Pi so we can play on the TV, and I'm using WinSCP to transfer the saves.

Could you post the savefile? I can take a look at it, and if I can't fix it maybe someone else can.

The issue might be with the game itself.

Sorry it took me a day to get back.

Here's the save file. It's just right at the beginning of the game. Pokemon Fire Red (U).srm

Any help is appreciated. :-)

And wrathsoffire76, I had toyed around with that, too, though I wasn't sure hwo to really address that. :-\

It was freezing with an emulator too, so we can eliminate the device as a possible problem.

At first I thought it may be not having the pokedex, but that still didn't solve it. I then edited the Seel's level up to 2 (since level 1 is never valid pre-Gen4), and that stopped the freezing.

Oh! So I just need to bump up to level 2? I'll try it and see if it works. Thanks! :-D

That worked, and you're brilliant.

This is actually for my wife. She has always wanted a Seel, but they come up so much later in games that she never really gets to use one. Know that you made a very beautiful woman even prettier by the smile this will put on her face. :-D
