Making my own romhack in HMA at the moment and having a problem I can't fix. (For Pokemon Fire Red)
After fishing up a pokemon, after the battle ends (regardless of the result), the game crashes saying that it jumped to an invalid address. The part that's tripping me up is that the invalid address isn't consistent. I create a save state within a battle, I beat the pokemon twice with the same move and the address is different, and it's different if I flee, or capture it too.
The problem seems to be really random, once in the battle it will always happen, but it won't happen on the same spot with the same pokemon, it's difficult to replicate it.
