You don't need the source code to do a ROM hack.

It's just editing the data in the complete ROM with an external program; some of the more popular games have dedicated tools exactly tailored for that game. There are almost certainly specialized tools for editing the first gen Pokemon games. There are also more generic tools (hex and graphic editors) that are used in conjunction with dedicated tools to more complex things.

That is how almost every ROM hack is made. It's not a matter of having the original source code, editing it, and compiling it. It's IS a matter of editing the completed product itself, long after Nintendo (or whomever) compiled it.

Don't be a butthole.
