Japanese ACE Setup

Here you can find tutorials for setting up ACE in Japanese FireRed and LeafGreen. There is not much choice for native ACE in this language as the question mark Mail modifies a portion of Pokémon data that is more difficult to manipulate.

Info

These tutorials are adaptations of Detelony’s video tutorial. Modifications include adding an RNG manipulation section to ease aquisition of suitable Pokémon for people who can RNG mnaipulate, and improved tooling to hopefully make the experience easier.

A LeafGreen-only derived from the main route has also been added with more concrete steps, as that game has a working in-game trade Pokémon that is useable for the main route.

Main Route

This is the original route that can be used to setup ACE as demonstrated in Detelony’s video tutorial/explanation. This has been adapted to English in written form.

ニドくん Route

This method is an easier route for people who are able to access the trade Pokémon ニドくん, which is only natively available on LeafGreen version.

Unfortunately there is no trade Pokémon that is natively available on FireRed that have the correct arrangement of data to allow for an ACE route to be developed around it, and thus limiting this method to LeafGreen or copies of FireRed with this trade Pokémon traded from LeafGreen.
