UPDATE I still haven't figured out what the other bytes do, but I can confirm that replacing them with 00 padding doesn't create any new problems. So, I edited a bit the script and now you can create your custom .bin for trainer photo/icon with any image you like. It's still unpolished, and it's hardcoded to picture sizes i deem 'safe' (for some reason the actual images may be smaller than the values registered in the dims blocks). Of course the .bin produced must override the corrisponding old block via PkHex, and the other blocks (width, height, size) must be overwritten with values i put in the comments inside the script. Still needs work, but it's getting fun. Of course, you are still free to make any change you wish and rework the script as you please (like how foohyfooh did and may still do, if he wishes to incorporate the new changes for an eventual injector) I attach an irl photo I took as proof, putting the trainer from PBR as background imgdec2.py

I have 2 old laptops that I believe I would have used for this, a super old 2002 laptop and 2008 laptop. Still on XP and Win7. I can check if they might have files there. OP, you should make a thread on Reddit so this can really get some traction

I was told in the Rutile Ruby / Star Sapphire thread that if I wanted to play Neo X or Neo Y, but make them capable to trading and battling with XY / ORAS, I could just pick and choose which files to use. How true is that? I would obviously not want stuff including non-legitimate typings, non-legitimate capture locations, non-legitimate movesets. I really just want to have tougher trainers to fight and the more complex story.

Obligatory reminder/warning about injecting images being bannable, as player photos are shared for PvP battles / etc. It is recommended to never inject images that end up being transmitted from your console, because it's a clear indicator of a hacked console.
