Hex Editor Implementation? #133

I’ve noticed some issues relate to being able to edit X data on a Pokémon within the program. I was just going to suggest adding a hex editor to directly edit data for a specific mon that way if there is any data that does not currently have neat little text boxes you can type in or boxes to check you can still edit these attributes yourself. Obviously being presented a large table of bytes that you can edit on a Pokémon would overwhelm most casual users without any documentation but I was inspired when I saw how this was implemented in PKSM (screenshot below). They have it set up so that any small detail that is not included in the main editing screens can be edited with this hex editor. Select the byte you want to edit and it tells you what it affects and what different values mean. It also prevents editing of values that may damage data of the Pokémon such as the checksum. I am not saying don’t fully integrate some of these requested features but having a low level hex editor can offer an alternative if said feature is not fully implemented yet and I don’t believe it is too difficult to implement (I could be totally wrong though). Biggest issue if I had to guess would be making it look good in the GUI.


PKSM by FlagBrew

This would offer temporary solutions to these issues:

I thought there was one more but I can’t find it oh well. You get the idea.
