README.md

While this program does work if people use it correctly, is to be considered legacy! Using "tools" on ROMs to make your own Pokemon game is a thing of the past.

Please learn to use https://github.com/pret/pokeemerald and other decompilation projects. You will gain some valuable skills and have much better results in the long run. Working at the source level has been a longtime dream for many people that people need to take advantage of.

Support is not being offered at this time! Please make sure to use the latest beta and make sure you have the correct ROM dump. Do not contact me asking for help with the program.

Pokemon Game Editor, commonly know as PGE, is an all in one tool started in 2010 by Gamer2020 for hacking the Game Boy Advanced Pokemon games. The program continues to evolve over the years and has had 60,000+ downloads. It has even inspired several copycat programs hence the slogan "Accept no Imitations!" was adopted. The program is currently developed in VB.Net with Visual Studio 2017.
