Editing for Gen 1 Block data doesn't save changes.

[Pwfrazer1985]

So, I did a wheel spin of what my starter should be in Gen 1 and it landed on Articuno. I had my younger brother choose the Rival's starter, he also chose Articuno. (He had no clue of what my starter would be.) However, when I go to change the starter in the Gen 1 block data, it doesn't save and change the Pokemon. The only other option I know that might fix this would be an emulator with a game genie option on it, but can't find one. I would love some info as to how I can successfully change the block data in Gen 1 to show up in the game.

Thanks in advance.

The game uses the value to pivot between preprogrammed Trainer Teams. It doesn't use the species value directly.

If you wish to change Trainer Team data, that's only possible via ROM edits, not save file edits.

Ahhh, ok. I found a good one that seems to be recommended. Now if only I can figure out how to give gym leaders more Pokemon than what they already have.
