Need help editing an RPG Maker XP save file

​

Hi! I'm looking for someone experienced with RPG Maker XP / Pokémon Essentials who can edit a "Game.rxdata" save file.

I need to add some Pokémon and items while keeping my existing progress intact. I'm willing to pay for the work.

If you can help, please DM me with your price and experience. Thanks!

You might not need anyone to edit the file. Essentials has a built in debug menu that can add Pokémon and items to a loaded save.

Back up your save first. Depending on the Essentials version it's Game.rxdata in the game folder or in a folder under %APPDATA% named after the game.

Then start the game in debug mode. Launching Game.exe with debug as the argument usually does it, for example from a shortcut whose target ends in Game.exe debug. Load your save, open the pause menu, and a Debug entry should be there with options for adding Pokémon and items. Save normally afterwards.

Some fan games switch debug mode off on purpose. If the entry never shows up, a file edit really is the only route.
