Nice, been wanting to try something like this with my sprites :P
I totally agree the entry into this side of hacking can seem tedious and difficult to understand but binary hacking gb/gbc games are almost impossible due to heavy compression hence no newer tools have been developedUpdate:
I wound up making a gen II hack without using any of these tools. It turns out Disassembly is actually easier than using them!
The reason Disassemblies are so intimidating, I realize, is because no one actually explains how to get started using them. As in, from square ONE. Almost all the tutorials online assume you already know everything and start throwing works like "github" and "compilation directory" before you know anything and just overload you with too much information at once.
Except for one.
I, a non-programmer, was able to figure it out by using this guide:

As far as I can tell, this guy is the only person on the internet who actually wrote a step-by-step guide for pure beginners. If even I was able to figure it out, then anyone can.
To anyone who happens to be reading this and wants to make their own Gen II hack, I say go for it and good luck!!
i'm having the same problem.the sprite editor "AGIXP411" comes up with an error saying "Component 'FM20.DLL' or one of it's dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid"
Shame about the DMCA takedown because I would have liked to read these instructions.Update:

Good news, I looked it up on WayBackMachine and it's still intact. See it here:Shame about the DMCA takedown because I would have liked to read these instructions.
