-=== READ BEFORE YOU FOLLOW THE BELOW GUIDE ===
-If you aren't tech-literate, it's recommended NOT to use Symlinks.bat as it creates Symlinks which can only be removed through command-line.
-Preferably, using Copying.bat or copy the files yourself by following these steps:
-*Find _English/data/csel and grab your character's palette (e.g. Aka.pal)
-*Copy and paste/replace over the same file found in _English/data/Character_0 (Aka_0 in this example)
