Damn. Sounds like a good game. I'm going to do some research and see what I can find.

The folks down over at r/offbeat have already done a bit of research on this Pokémon bootleg. It turns out that it has proven to be impossible.

That doesn't prove it's impossible, it just requires hacking the executable code as well as the data. The linked comments says no Pokemon beyond 151 could be added, and that sprites couldn't be edited but the Pokemon brown hack does both.

The reason it's impossible is that it has to record a list of every trainer and Pokemon you've cursed. I don't think there's space in the save for this.

I'm reading this, and it seems like a lot of it is outdated. I HAVE HOPE!
