[Gen 3][Decomp] How to start with romhacking with decomp in 2026?
Hi I always wanted to create a rom hack, and I know I could do either binary hacking or decomp. I have no idea how to start though. I'd like to do decomp, but:
How much free space is left to poke emerald, now that pokemon expansion has up to 9 gen pokemon and items ?
Is improving the graphics (changing tiles) still super boring and time consuming ?
Is there a way to import only till 5-6° gen ? (I don't like newer pokemon)
Is there a guide I can follow to start decomp, from installation to setting things up ?
Any advice ?
Thank you. Would be great to talk with someone experienced with this, at least to overcome the entry barrier. I prefer decomp because I used to binary hack many years ago, but at some point I messed up and ruined everything (probably a conflict between the tools).
