I want to create a Pokemon NDS Rom Hack of my hometown and I need some help as a beginner

    So, the town I live in is a pretty big one, and has different enough landscapes to be interesting enough imo.

    I don't want to make a full on region, more like a short Pokemon Experience with a few major trainer battles.

    One thing I'd like is being able to use every Pokemon until gen 8, but I don't know if that's possible on NDS (if it is, please tell me how)

    Also as a complete beginner in Pokemon Rom Hacking, I don't know whether I should use the gen 4 engine or the gen 5 one, I personally prefer gen 5 but it seems way harder to modify.

    Thanks in advance, if you have any general tips I'd be happy to hear them :)
     
    To my knowledge it's impossible so far to add more Pokémon to DS games, only replace them. If there's a way I'd love to know it too.

    If you're a beginner to DS hacking I recommend Jay-San's tutorials: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lakp5ZRN7rE&list=PLKTW2ZuQjbEEVYHhxRZF9N8v_9AUneJq1

    They cover a lot of basics like sprite replacement and mapping. The video descriptions also contain a pack of great hacking tools.
