If you're getting into ROM hacking, I highly suggest starting with Advance Map (1.92) and messing around with it.
Learn about movement permissions, the block editor (not that important early on), connection editor, etc. (I suggest using A-map 1.95 for this, as it lets you view the connection as you are making it.) Reason I said you should use 1.92 is because 1.95 never came out of its beta stage and MIGHT have some bugs. 1.92 is safer in that regard.
Now, if you want to edit text, you have 3 options;
A. Get a specific program for it, like Advance-text (This can be hard to run, needs comdlg and comctl dependencies)
B. Edit it in a script editor of choice. (I recommend XSE). If you're going to Write longer text than the default one was, it needs to be repointed, so just find some free space with HackMew's FreeSpaceFinder and repoint it manually.
C. Edit it manually in a Hex editor (not recommended, takes a long time)
Now, I've only gone through 2 different aspects (3 if you count the scripting bit) of ROM hacking, but there's so much more to it.
There are lots of wonderful tutorials out there, you just need to find them.
Hope this was helpful.
