There you are done. You can also do this with a regular pokedex. It would just take longer

What?
What if you do finish it?
Or are you breaking it in to 2 parts?

Oh well, this looks good.

[Dawson]

Why didn't you post the full tutorial when you had more time or when it was finished? It's not really any help to anyone like this.

[Firemaker]

I have finished. OK? :D :D :D :D :D

[DarknessMonkey]

I have finished. OK? :D :D :D :D :D

Thanks, so i can make my PokeDex like this?

[Firemaker]

Yes you can. But you cannot show what pokemon you have seen, only the ones you caught

[Auriok_Steelshaper]

instead of saying (put nothing here) in the else cases, why don't you just untick the box and not have an else case...

[Firemaker]

Hmmmmmm..... You could do that too.

[Krazy_Meerkat]

Hmm... I spose it's a good way for people to learn how to make their own..
Good job :) But I think you should have explained a bit more.. Like a cursor movement thing and some other things.

[Dawson]

It would have been easier to read if you typed it how it looks in RM2K/3 too. I had to take too long reading it, but it was a pretty nice job though!

[Nick360]

im confused and is this the full tutorial b/c if it is its confusing can u plz post the full thing

[Berserk]

Though, this seems like an okay tut, you could have explained
cursor movement, and how the pictures should change along with
those changes. Also, you could just add a "-----" pic for those
pokemon that you haven't caught.

--EDIT--

If you consider using switches as a waste, you could also use
variables, or rather the hero arrays.

grrrrr whats a fork condition?

[PokeCreator_09]

Fork condition is also called fork option, or conditional branch. Just depends on which RPGMaker you're using.

Tutorial looks great, but it would be better if you had screenshots of how the events would look in RM. Anyways, I might make some sreens and put them up later.

thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think I know a way so that when you see a POKEMON, but not catch it, it's picture will be added to the POKEDEX, but not the info. Here goes!

So, in your wild battles, have a conditional branch that checks to see if you have seen a POKEMON or not. It might look like this:

< > Conditional Branch: If Switch [SeenPidgy]OFF
< >Switch Oper: [SeenPidgy]ON
: End

Then, back in the POKEDEX, for each POKEMON, have it check to see if the above switch is on (But change it for every POKEMON in your game.). Then have the POKEDEX just display the image and not the info.
