Honestly not sure if ROM hacking is still big these days, but I've decided to try and make a ROM hack. And hopefully one that doesn't crash. I've tried making GBA Pokémon ROM hacks, but I'd end up breaking them pretty badly, so I'm hoping I can get some people together to help me out with this. I will be using Pokémon Pearl for the base, and plan on making 2 version, similar to how they're done officially. Right now, I'm on the planning phase, as I want to first make the layout of the new region, as well as naming the region. I'm open to ideas, so if you got some, fire them at me, and I'll see what I think about them. I plan on making a new region, new Pokémon, New legendries, basically changing everything, making it feel like a new game, rather then a ROM hack. I plan on also making new Trainer sprites for the main characters throughout the journey, and maybe some for the trainers, depending on the limitations of what can be done. All in all, I have very limited knowledge of how to do this, so help is more then appreciated Update 1 December 5th, 2019 Not much progress has been made. Only maybe some small pokemon edits, but not much else. SDSME still crashes when trying to import sprites for Trainer Classes, so I'm pretty limited on what I can do at the moment. Maybe in time, when I get a better computer, could I possibly be able to make progress. I'll still get what I can done, to at least have something started to show off.

Well the problem with that is that PKHeX isn't even letting me change the constant. While I can edit the value, when I try to save the changes, the constant resets to what it originally was (in my case, 0). The changes just won't stick no matter what I've tried to do so I don't know if the latest version of PKHeX is treating the event constants as read-only or if something else is broken that's not allowing me to make a change and have it actually save. Also my ability to use the Underground itself for this project is not great. I don't have a Pearl or Plat save with Underground access handy and trying to make this Diamond save interact with itself in any sort of link conditions has been extremely hit-or-miss

Sorry for necroing this post. We have new information about Gen 2 PCNY and are collating it now. One thing I can say real quick is that Mew was shiny, and only shiny. The DVs for shiny are limited too.

i would like to suggest to make a card reader for the Nintendo switch if possible i don't like the fact that i have to home-brew it and possible damage my switch

I did not, but one of the lost pokemon was my first shiny, so "no" is not an option here. We are in "actively call Nintendo support and cry over the phone at them" territory here. I'm willing to physically cut the cartridge open if it might work. I'm willing to break into the turtle file and see if it keeps a record of the Pokemon transfered out to main series games (side note, what's the deal with turtle? why is it even called turtle?). There's gotta be an option. edit: Guess who just manually recreated every legendary and shiny FROM MEMORY? Me. Suck it, past me.

Thanks to the wonderful time exploit and help from @theSLAYER and some local friends, a legit collection of Gmax appears! Also, my Poke Ball Plus arrived, so here's Mew!
