I worked on a pokemon red rom hack for a few weeks based on a lavender town syndrome creepypasta. I was able to inject a new pokemon at a scripted point but things got pretty weird, especially around battle logic. I quickly ran into trouble with inadvertently overwriting used memory. There really wasn't a lot of unused bits on that gameboy cart or the gameboy's resources. There's no safety net to prevent you (or even inform you) of something you shouldn't be doing. This was in Z80 assembly and based off of the (very awesome) pokered project. https://github.com/pret/pokered https://github.com/pret/pokered I also went as far as making a cart. I lifted black cases from black carts and used both a flashcart from tindie and a donor cart with an EEPROM mod (for the more authentic feel). I found someone online who made nice looking pokemon black stickers and they sent me some. The idea was to make these weird items and drop them in the world. Alas, I'm not the hacker I aspire to be. Much like the inspiring work: it's just a good story. https://imgur.com/a/cNbsgcV https://imgur.com/a/cNbsgcV
