    Brought to you by the joint effort of MattSilver, Palindrome, and Lungs​

    Credit for various links go to T3t as well.

    Valuable Tools

    Free Space Finder

    I don't recommend the one I linked - AM 1.95 beta is a bit buggy, but I'm pretty sure there are links to slightly older versions.

    And... Tile Insertion.

    Feel free to play around with the tools. A lot of the difficulty goes away when you know where everywhere is when you actually start to map or tile.

    Modding​

    Something else you need, that's extremely important if you want to play around with info like names, levels, anything that's numerical or databased, is a hexeditor, because everything is stored in hex code.

    In the old days, I'd have to sit down, and rip all of the hex data from the roms, then use a terrible tool like... Nightmare (it's actually called Nightmare, lol) to mod.

    But now we have PokeEditor, which combines a whole bunch of tools into one. From my experience, it's a little bit buggy here and there, but it is totally worth using.

    I still like to crack open Advance Map, etc, but that's probably the best thing for a beginner to use at the moment.

    More info pending.

    If I were to edit a TM into a location like Pewter city, how would I go about it?

    That's difficult - you have to add a Pokeball to a map, and add events etc...

    A better thing to do is to add an event to a certain person, when you talk to, he'll give you a TM - you flag a person as someone who gives you things, and then you specify the TM.

    When you say Pokeeditor is buggy, you weren't kidding. Fuck a tramp but it's impossible to use. No matter how many times I uninstall and download only the item editor ever works. The rest say there's a problem with installing the file. -_-

    Yeah. The thing is - what it does it download shit from HackMew's website. Unfortunately, HackMew's website is down - which means you have to find them online and install them and drag all of them into the folder - they usually compile on Pokeeditor.

    Alternatively, you can just put everything into a folder and open them individually.
