Add New Pokemon doesn't work right #216

Closed Tyrranux closed 6 months ago

Tyrranux commented 6 months ago

Got tired of replacing Pokemon and just wanted to add a new one. It does show up in my Rom on playthroughs, the code is fine, game doesn't crash, but it just comes up as "????????" and doesn't use the sprite I imported. How do I fix this?

Did you notice this warning about limiters when expanding the table? image

If you want to expand those tables, you need to update the limiters. There's scripts in the utilities to help with expanding some, like moves and items, but HMA doesn't include a safe way to expand the pokemon.

For more assistance, I recommend checking out the program's Discord Server, where you can find thousands of users that can help with specific questions.

Why do I even bother asking questions to people that find creative ways to give no helpful answers?

Why do I bother giving detailed answers to people who just want short answers?

Fine, here's the short answer:

How do I fix this?

You need to revert your change. You can't safely expand the pokemon table using HMA.
