The extent of "ROM hacking" I've done is using programs specifically designed to alter certain games. I was hoping I could find someone who could create me some decent hacking tools for Pokemon TCG. I have no interest in creating an entirely homebrew game, I just want me and my friends to be able to easily edit that nifty little game.

How hard would it be to create a few basic editors for the Pokemon TCG game? Like a simple text, sprite, and map editor? I know there are other programs that will work with some doing but no one can debate the fact that a custom editor would be easier for the common person to use. I just think think it was such an awesome game I don't see why there isn't a entire ROM hacking community dedicated to hacking the Pokemon TCG.

What about Maps and sprite placement?

How does that make it worse? I am not questioning you, you seem very knowledgeable. I am just trying to understand.

How about a simple Text editor, or sprite editor?

I think the AI would do okay for the most part. You can create any deck you want with the in game editor and the AI is perfectly fine dealing with any card combination you can create. There are cards that manipulate the opponents deck/hand and pokemon powers that alter the way they have to play and what cards they can play. I think the AI could handle a few minor changes as long as you aren't expecting them to pick up a certain combo that the AI doesn't already use. At any rate nobody will really know what the AI can handle until someone creates a deck editor.

EDIT: After reading your post I feel you're under the assumption that all the decks are preset in the game. You can create any deck you want for your deck. I was referring to a program to edit the enemies deck.

Yea but just increasing the number of one card in the deck shouldn't cause any problems. The AI knows what to do with that card originally. I could see the AI having issues playing completely new decks. I would only be streamlining the decks already there. At any rate if I had an editor then I could obviously test each change.

It would be very easy to create tools... But the problem with the tools was already pointed out. Changing cards in decks would mess up the AI.

I am not talking about building all new decks or anything. Just completing playsets. If you changed the count of a card the deck already uses from 3 to 4 the AI should be able to handle that right?

@KaioShin: I know very little/nothing about creating programs. I was simply asking how hard it would be for someone who knew what they are doing before I go asking people.

I just think it's a great game in the Pokemon series and I would love to be able to easily edit it!

I wouldn't be changing the decks too much so I don't think the AI would break. Just rounding off playsets of cards already in use.

How hard would it be to create tools?

Hello everyone, I am new to the forum. I was wondering if anyone knew if there are any ROM hacking tools for the Pokemon TCG gba game? Or if there are any tools that would work. A text editor, map editor, and a deck editor would be amazing!
