***Please read these rules carefully and make sure that you understand them. Failure to follow them can result in an infraction which can lead to a ban***
1) We DO NOT support piracy. Do not ask for ROMs, links to ROMs or how to get a ROM. How to get one is outlined here and we will assume that if you have a ROM this is the way you got it.
The correct way to obtain a ROM for the game you want to edit is to buy the game and make a back-up using a flash cart and either wi-fi or an EZ 3-in-1.

Of course, you are expected to follow the general rules, and although these two rules are in the general rules, I want to put them here as well as a constant reminder. We think ROM research is very important and we think that there can be much enjoyment from making your own ROM edit with the programs that come out of ROM research, but we want to keep everything fair. It is not fair to the people who worked hard to make pokemon, for anyone to get their game without buying it and then change it to something else.
