Hey everyone, I'm hoping you guys could help me figure something out (I hope this is an okay place to post this). I was over halfway done with my first ROM hack/mod when I came across an issue with the starters at the very beginning. Allow me to explain.
First things first, it's a Fire Red ROM. I've viewed all the tutorials on this issue that I can find through this site and Google itself and always fall short of the answer I'm seeking. At the beginning of the game, we all know the infamous introduction where Oak introduces himself and your rival, etc. You eventually get to his lab and he tells you to choose a starter, and when you do, that dialogue box pops up saying:
"You received (insert starter name here) from PROF. OAK."
I literally don't want to change a single thing from the original script besides the darn caps lock on his name (I HATE THAT THEY TALK LIKE THIS IN THE GAMES, MY OCD DRIVES ME INSANE). I'd given the Professor a different name and changed the overall dialogue via Advance Text, but alas, I cannot change that dialogue after you choose your starter as it is within the script of the item.
So, obviously it's a script for the Pokeball item that lies on the table. I've used every tutorial via XSE I can find to change that one dialogue box... All of which require me to make an entire new script. So, how can I copy the original script for the starter Pokeballs and simply change the ending dialogue box?
