Unfortunately, the last version of PPRE I used was 0.14 Beta, which did not have a species editor (though it did have the ability to edit pokemon without issues) so I can't help you on this one. You could try PMing Alpha.

Try a path that has no spaces in it.

I'm unsure on the newer version of PPRE but I know the older ones you had to click "Set ROM". Has this been tried?

Honestly, I am not able to answer that question easily. Partially because you didn't specify what pokemon and partially because it's been 4 years. Every one of them SHOULD be available through breeding, catching, or events. The 4 years this thread has been up, no one has pointed out a pokemon that wasn't somewhere. So basically it is very possible the google doc is wrong. I am not the author, and prior to the documents existence I always recommended the pokeradio. Perhaps that should still be the go to. Roughly 90 hours. (About 40 of those hours were spent on Arceus...)

Please show some progress soon or I will be moving your thread to the ideas section.

I'll never understand why people think they need a 5 man team for a hack. It NEVER happens that way. My Platinum hack I did almost entirely by myself, and my HG/SS hacks I had little help on. What's you're role in the hack? I'm going to be blunt here. You are not going to find that many people to help you. Be realistic here and read your post from an external perspective. It sounds like you want a bunch of people to do all the work for you. We get a lot of those on here. If you ever want to see your hack idea become a reality you should probably just knuckle down and start doing it yourself. As you progress, then others may ask if you want help or may offer help. This is just some friendly advice from one hacker to another. Now as for from a moderator to a forum user, I'll be moving this thread to ROM edit ideas until you have progress to show (to qualify it as a progressing edit)

Google translates version

Wouldn't be any different than hacking a Rom from scratch. There just would be changes already made. PPRE is relatively easy to use, to the point where it is almost self-explanatory. The only part I'd expect you may have trouble with is any scripting that may need done.

I honestly don't know what to tell you... I stopped using No$ when I finished Platinum, since I had a DS after that. You could always try the"universal solution" and try re-patching if you haven't already...

That is correct.

legally you can provide the patch but not the rom. Please keep that in mind on our forums.

Well I can say I have no clue on everything here except your lastly. I'm fairly certain you cannot edit trainers evs and natures. But check with Alpha, it's his program (or was) He can be reached here

Should just be level up during the day while holding the magmarizer.

savestates could be a bad idea depending on the types of edits you wanna make. Your best bet would be to use the normal game save system

Ok I dug up Drayano's work. Trainer's: Drayano changed some of the Pokemon for trainers, I've only changed the levels of the Pokemon they already had (using a formula i devised) to increase difficulty gradually. Drayano made changes to Pokemon moves and stats. I refuse to do this as I feel it can bar the use of my games with legit games. (I prefer to keep things as close to the Gamefreak goal has possible) Drayano added new items for evolutions and changed some existing items. I did not add items and simply used the existing items in new ways. Drayano changed the location and availability of some items. I chose not to do anything like this as I had concerns i would be retracting from my attempts to gradually increase difficulty. Drayano made some changes to the world. I did not do this, as again concerns for retracting from the difficulty, and also I did not want to change from the original game too much. Drayano added some events. I would have liked to add events for some of the legendaries but I was, in a way, the test for HG/SS hacks. I started mine before everyone and had VERY limited knowledge for scripting. As scripting progressed after I finished the hack I decided not to go back. For non-event pokemon in my game you can catch as many as you want. If I started doing events for some of em, you'd only be able to obtain that one and that's it. Drayano also made many small changes and even barred access to some areas. Again these are things I wouldn't do as I did not want to retract too much from the original game. Well that's practically a 1:1 comaprison. Hopefully that fully answers your question. If you have any others, feel free to ask. (as long as you follow the rules of the forums)

Honestly I know nothing of their work so I couldn't give you a straight answer without seeing it. I'll check into it for you so I can answer you properly. Also sorry for the delayed response, I haven't been on in a few days (sometimes I terrible moderator, but we all have life stuff outside of this)

Sounds kinda creepy

Thread moved from ROM Showcase to progressing edits.

Haha! I love how both of you stepped in to explain. Effin awesome! Well boys, girls, and charizards now we know why roms can be trimmed.

Feel free. The TC is banned and if anyone wants this thread to continue, someone's gotta pick it up.

That's normal. My file reads 120MB also. Typically you will see roms shrink in size after a patch because all of the padding and dummy files typically get removed. I honestly have no idea why they use padding on cartridge based systems. I get why on discs (so the laser doesn't have to move as much btw) but I don't understand their usage on carts. But yea you're fine.

I was actually surprised to hear it did. Definitely a glaring oversight on the program creators part.

That is the funniest story I have ever read on this site.

That's literally the same thing you said in the PM you sent me... I just don't have that kinda time to dedicate right now. I'd suggest hitting up the IRC chat and getting to know a few people. You may find someone there to help you.

arceus1296, sorry to say this but Plasma King is a fraud. He's been caught reposting other's works and claiming them as his own. He has been banned from here and as a former ROM hacker myself I highly advise you do not work with him. But that's up to you. Just a heads up.
