1.
  You will need an game boy emulator(No$gmb is recomended)(not supplied)
  A Pokemon Gold or Silver rom(not supplied)
  A Hex editor (look for a doc if you dont know what one is)(not supplied)
  This Tutorial(Supplied)
  A love of Rom hacking(not supplied)
  Some Knowledge of rom hacking (including pointers)(not supplied)
________________________________________________________________________

2.
First open your g/s rom in your hex editor.Search for the text you want to re-point.
Right next to the very start of that text there should be a 00h.
Calculate the pointer of that location.(the 00h)If your using a pointer calclation programe (i used meowths) then when you have the pointer knock of the first value eg.
Adress= 12009c, pointer = 489c40 when first value is knocked off = 9C40(you knocked off the 48)
Search for your pointer eg. 9C40
You will get many results but the one you want should be just above the text block of the text you want to re-point.
Note the adress.Then go to the first gap of 00's after your text(it must be the first or else it will be in a different bank and then it wont work).
When you are there type in your new text.
Things to remember = Start the text with a 00 then wright the actuall text,4f moves the text to the next line of the box,51 moves the text to the start of a new box (if your not sure about the 4f and 51 dont worry youll know when you use them),57 indicates the end of that text.
Go back to your 00 at the start of your text ,calculate the pointer knock off the fisrt value as before,Go back to your adress of the pointer you took down and type in your new pointer.
Now you can get to see what youve done talk to the signs/person and they should say your text if its messed up use 4f and 51 (again dont worry just experiment).
