How do you script a Pokemon game? Where can I find the scripts online?

Question by Strange: How do you script a Pokemon game? Where can I find the scripts online?
I want to find the script of certain games, not change the text.

However I can’t find the scripts online and it seems hard to script a game.

I’m not entirely clear on what you’re referring to… if you’re wanting to get a copy of the text from a Pokemon game, try looking on GameFAQs (http://www.gamefaqs.com/). There are scripts for a few of the games on there. (There’s one for Blue but none for Platinum or Ruby, those are the only games I glanced at.) If the particular game you’re wanting to obtain a script for doesn’t have one on GameFAQs, you’d have to rip it yourself. You can find information on RHDN (http://www.romhacking.net/) on how to do that.

If you’re wanting to change how the game works, that’s a lot more complicated. Unlike some PC games, there isn’t just a “script” that you have to edit, it requires a whole lot of programming work. Some Pokemon games have level editors and such but it still requires considerable work to make major changes.

PokeCommunity (http://www.pokecommunity.com/) is a site dedicated to Pokemon, including a large number of Pokemon hackers. You can probably find people there that can help you with either thing.
