Hello there. I read about the DS Download Station. I also read about creating a DS Download Station with Haxxstation. I honestly have no idea how to do the method. If stuff like this isn't allowed, please disregard this post.

If the first option isn't possible, I also have an R4i 3DS, DS cartridges that's compatible for Download Play, and two DS lite systems. I have heard about distributing special items for certain games. I just don't know anything much about the method though.

You can use the GUI tool from here: https://github.com/RetroHeim-Soft/dspatch-gui/releases
You need the ROM of the DS Download Station "game", patch it with the tool and run it on your flashcart.
Keep in mind it's all ran from RAM and the DS only has 4MB and the homebrew will need to use some of it, so it's pretty limited what you can actually run.
The distribution carts for Pokemon (are there ones for other games?) are special ROMs that you'll have to find wherever you usually find your ROMs.

    @Xdqwerty there is health behaviour you can add to your character, then to use a health bar is lil more complicated, google n watch a few tutorial video on it, be too hard to explain here.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, the character has the health behavior
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I know you have to create a health and health max variable. Then there is a calculation you use in code to subtract width size of the health bar. Google few vids.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, the "greenflatbar" is one of the preset health bars btw
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea you can use any bar/sprite. It will just change the width. Ok good luck and have fun. I'm off to go shoot some pool at the bar. Talk to you later.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, why does the health behavior exist if you can just use a variable?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
