Adding New Species and Forms in PPRE (Platinum)

[Warlyte]

Hi. I'm currently in the planning phase of a Platinum ROM Hack. I want to be sure that before I start doing the real work, I know what I'm doing. Every task I've given myself so far has been possible with trial and error or searching for tutorials, but this next one, I'm not sure if it's even possible.

I want to add a new Pokemon species beyond the ones that already exist in the game. I also want to add alternate forms to some existing ones. Please tell me if and how this can be done.

Thanks in advance.

Other than telling you that you must replace one of the old Pokemon in order to add in new ones, this is an aspect of the hobby I purposefully haven't dabbled in.There's a lot of info over at the PokeCommunity, but ultimately you're going to have to get someone with a lot of know-how to help you along, and you're gonna have to tool around a lot by yourself.
