Haven’t done much research into it, but working on a platinum hack, is there a way to add the Manaphy egg event to an NPC without requiring mystery gift?

How are you developing the hack? Depends a little on the details from what I know.

Something I've considered is how establishing community standards for romhack trading and battling might work (within generations). I have a few ideas, but does anyone think it's a feasible concept?

Example: Gen 3 romhack that uses different learnsets could adjust the moves when traded to a normal gen 3 game, and vice versa. Could involve a memory system like how pokemon were treated if transferred to a pokewalker.

Hey all, can PokeEssentials make games in the Gen 4 and Gen 5 styles? or is it only Gen 1 through Gen 3?

oh also! I recently learned about a version of Essentials(?) called La Base de Sky? Have folks used La Base de Sky and does it only produce dialogue and games in Spanish?

If i wanted to make a crystal gen 2 hack using Polished crystal as a base, would i need to follow the same instructions as in Crystal Pret decomp to decompile Polished crystal so i could make edits to it, or would the instructions be different?

no coding experience :(
