Hello, my name is Tropical Sunlight and I'm presenting you my first tutorial: Making new Pokemon Types!

1. Open your ROM in UnLZ.GBA. Go to 1485 and you will see the types. Form them with + and -, then save the image.

2. Open the type-image and choose a type you don't need anymore. I chose the BUG type. So all the BUG-type Pokemon will become GRASS-type Pokemon in my game. You can change the types of Pokemon in YAPE.

3. Make up a type. I'll be using the SPACE-type. Form the words from letters of other types. Then, I deleted the ???-type so it doesn't overlap the used space in the ROM.

4. Insert it into UnLZ.GBA and pray you won't have a too big image. That is for beginners. Advanced users can repoint.

5. Test it in your ROM ;)

I hope this helped!

Also, some notes for FireRed:
The Type icons in Fire Red can be found by opening the ROM in Tile Molester and going to offset 00E95FDC. Then hit Tile Forward to line them up right.

No offence but is not really that helpful because you cannot change what is super effective/normal/resistant too.

I have to agree with chaotix.
What would be REALLY helpful is a way to actually change/add/remove types, not just the graphics.
Coolboyman did it :)

I was thinking of making a hack w/ the type "light", it would be super effective against the dark type and not very effective against the normal type, thats all the strength/weaknesses I thought of so far, and only 1 move (so far) will be for it, return, and frustration will be a dark type, and curse will be ghost type.

You shouldn't be talking off-topic about ideas of what types you would like to add to your game.
This is a tutorial, not random discussion.

Anyway, this is a slightly useful tutorial, but like some people have said, there are a few things that get in your way.

I think there is already a tool for it, so, this doesn't actually help, but thanks for trying.

No, there isn't already a tool for this. You should look before you post.

nice guide only it isnt very helpfull
You should post more than that. Try making a tutorial about something you found yourself.
Obviously it doesn't help you complete a hack, but it adds some originality to a hack.
