There are 423 SIRO files pointed to by the Pokémon Graphics Pointer Table. Each one represents a different Pokemon graphics file. The structure of these individual files is as follows.
Header
- Note - all pointers are stored in little-endian format.
Address Size Description -------- ---- ---------------- 0000 0004 SIRO Header - Spells out SIRO and begins file. 0004 0004 Pointer to footer - Points to main data structure in each Pokemon
Animation Data Before Sprites
There are two sections before the sprites begin.
Animation Frame
Comes in 0x14 byte increments which each represent a frame of the animation.
Address Size Description
-------- ---- ----------------
0000 0002 The index of the sprite to be displayed.
0002 0002 Does Palette Effects - Use unknown
Obj Attribute 0 {
0004 0001 Vertical Displacement (Signed Short)
0005 0001 Tile Byte - Tells data about the tile
bit 8 : Rotation/Scaling Flag
bit 9 : When bit 8 set to 1: Double-Size Flag (0=Normal, 1=Double)
When bit 8 set to 0: OBJ Disable (0=Normal, 1=Not displayed)
bit 10 ~ 11 : OBJ Mode (00=Normal, 01=Semi-Transparent, 10=OBJ Window, 11=Prohibited)
bit 12 : Mosaic (0=Off, 1=On)
bit 13 : Color Mode (0=16/16, 1=256/1)
bit 14 ~ 15 : OBJ Shape (00=Square, 01=Horizontal, 10=Vertical, 11=Prohibited)
}
Obj Attribute 1 {
0006 0002 bit 0 ~ 8 : Y Coordinate
When Object Attribute 0:Rotation/Scaling Flag Set
bit 9 ~ 13 : Rotation Scaling Parameter Selection
When Object Attribute 0:Rotation/Scaling Flag NOT Set
bit 9 ~ 11 : Unused
bit 12 : Horizontal flip bit
bit 13 : Vertical flip bit
bit 14 ~ 15 : OBJ Size (0..3, depends on OBJ Shape, see address 0005)
Size Square Horizontal Vertical
0 8x8 16x8 8x16
1 16x16 32x8 8x32
2 32x32 32x16 16x32
3 64x64 64x32 32x64
}
Obj Attribute 2 {
0008 0002 bit 0 ~ 9 : Tile Number
bit 10 ~ 11 : Priority Relative to BG (Usually 11)
bit 12 ~ 15 : Palette number (May different than the Pokemon's palette number)
}
000A 000A Allows VRAM to be cleared. Usually all FFs
Obj Attributes are documented at GBATek.
Animation Timing
The next section deals with animation timing in the following format:
Total Size: 0x0C Address Size Description -------- ---- ---------------- 0000 0002 Number of frames to display sprite. 0002 0002 Index of Animation Frame to be displayed. 0004 0002 Horizontal Displacement -Signed Short 0006 0002 Vertical Displacement -Signed Short 0008 0002 Shadow Horizontal Displacement -Signed Short 000A 0002 Shadow Vertical Displacement -Signed Short
Overworld Sprites
Every Sprite has data associated with it.
The sprite data pointers in the data after the sprites point to each individual sprite's data.
When the sprite data pointer points at the individual sprite pointer, this is the format:
Address Size Description -------- ---- ---------------- 0000 0004 Pointer to individual sprite 0004 0002 Number of bytes to read (little endian)
When the sprite pointer points at 4 bytes with the value 00, this is the format:
Address Size Description
-------- ---- ----------------
{
0000 0004 0x00
0004 0004 Amount of blank space written before sub sprite.
0008 0004 Pointer to individual sprite
000C 0004 Number of bytes to be read (little endian)
}
Repeats until every sub sprite has been pointed to.
After every sub sprite has been pointed to, sometimes there is an additional blank space offset without a sprite attached:
Address Size Description
-------- ---- ----------------
{
0000 0004 0x00
0004 0004 Amount of blank space written before sub sprite.
0008 0008 0x00
}
Data After Sprites
Following the sprites are six sections with different information:
- Table of pointers to the animation data.
- Body Animation Displacement
- Pointers to directional animation timing data.
- Pointers to (#3) each set of directional animations
- Pointers to Sprite Data
- The Footer
Animation Frame Data Pointer Table
Points to animation frame data.
Body Animation Displacement
Indicate each frame's Pokémon's head / left side / right side / body location, it's used by moves animation.
Total Size: 0x08 Address Size Description -------- ---- ---------------- 0000 0001 Horizontal Displacement for Pokémon's head -Signed Byte 0001 0001 Vertical Displacement for Pokémon's head -Signed Byte 0002 0001 Horizontal Displacement for Pokémon's left side? -Signed Byte 0003 0001 Vertical Displacement for Pokémon's left side? -Signed Byte 0004 0001 Horizontal Displacement for Pokémon's right side? -Signed Byte 0005 0001 Vertical Displacement for Pokémon's right side? -Signed Byte 0006 0001 Horizontal Displacement for Pokémon's body -Signed Byte 0007 0001 Vertical Displacement for Pokémon's body -Signed Byte
Directional Animation Timing Pointer Table
A repeating set of little-endian pointers that will point to an animation for any direction. For example: each direction of the walking animation would show up here.
Index Direction Pointed to ----- -------------------- 0x00: S, SE, E, NE, 0x10: N, NW, W, SW
Pointer to Directional Table
Points to each set of pointers from the previous section.
Pointers to Sprite Data
Pointers to the data in between each sprite.
The header points to another set of pointers starting here and ending at the next SIRO file.
Address Size Description -------- ---- ---------------- 0000 0004 Pointer to Animation Frame Table 0004 0004 Pointer to Directional Animations - Different animations can be chosen based upon direction. 0008 0004 Body Animation Displacement 000C 0004 Sprite Data Pointers 0010 0004 Pointer to Unknown Data 0014 0004 SIRO Header of next Pokemon
