Using a memory viewer to "Find secret Pokemon"

Well, I might as well…..

Open Gold or Silver (you may get away with Crystal), Open the Pokedex, look at it's stats or find a wild one. Open the VBA Memory viewer and go to line 9000. Save the dump at 9000 at about size 310.

Get Red/Blue/Yellow to a suitable place to find the Pokemon and then as the wild pokemon begins to appear (for better effect) open the Memory viewer and apply your dump to 9000. The opponent will become a G/S pokemon.

Then to make it more realistic you need to change the following



If you were willing to spend a LONG TIME you could even completely design a Pokemon this way but the VRAM would take a long time.

Anyway, have fun.

Oh yeah…. Little thing extra that Abwayax may like.

What exactly does this do? Sources the memory in a G/S rom, applies it to a R/B rom, and then uses that memory in the game?

That's Interesting…Very interesting.</Jack-Sparrow-Moment>
Does this work for any Trans-Generation swaps? Minus fourth, of course.

No… The advance Gen has much larger VRAM, if I do recall. But Green can transfer to Silver, etc.

Yeah, but that is a completely different style to what I have been doing.
I could do that though.

I tihnk it's somewhat of a waste to make a whole forum for just 1 topic.

Well we expected more.
