This is my first tutorial... :D hope that you'll like it. ;)
I find that some of the games that do have cbs do not calculate damage or experience like in the real Pokemon games. This tutorial will help you all understand how to make a Battle system looking nearly like a real one.
1. DAMAGE CALCULATION
Pokemon damage calculation is not like most of the common rpg's, its not ATK+ATK DAMAGE-ENNEMY DEFENSE.
It's this:
Damage = ((((2 *Attacker Level / 5 + 2) * AttackStat * AttackPower / EnnemyDefenseStat) / 50) + 2) * Attack bonus * Weakness/Resistance * RandomNumber / 100 :\
What does all that mean???
Ok, Attack stat depends on the type of the attack:
For Attack:
Normal
Fighting
Bug
Rock
Ground
Flying
Steel
Poison
Ghost
For Special Attack:
Psychic
Fire
Electric
Water
Ice
Dark
Dragon
Grass
So AttackStat is your attack Power.
Attack Power is the first number you see when selecting an attack, for example tackle is: (35)
35 Charges the foe with a full- body tackle.
95
Ennemy defense stat is the ennemy's defense/ special defense depending on the attack. ATTACK>>DEFENSE SPE.ATTACK>>SPE.DEFENSE
Attack bonus is equal to 1 if you AREN'T of the same type as the attack and 1.5 if you ARE of the same type of the attack you're using.
Then you have a random number that is between 85 and 100.
2.EV's
Some of you will be wondering what is EV's? :confused: Well it means effort value and each time your Pokemon beats a Pokemon it gains effort value.A Pokemon's max effort value is 255. So if you want to calculate is here is how I do it:
((Hp EV/2.5)*100/Pokemon level)+ Pokemon level Hp
So if you're making a battle system that's one way to do it. Protein, carbon and all these vitamins add 10 to the Pokemon stat in their description. A pokemon can't "eat" more than 10 of each vitamin.
More information on which Pokemon give you how many EV points here (http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-rs/hp.shtml)
3.IV's
IV's is a bit the same idea as EV's but it doesn't change. When you receive a new Pokemon a random number is chosen.(If I made a battle system, I'd make a random one between 0 and 70.)Wild Pokemon IV's are lower than the other Pokemon ones, to get a high IV, you have to get a hatched Pokemon/Legendary or your first one.To use it in the batttle do this:
((Hp IV/2)*100/Pokemon level)+ Pokemon level Hp
Note
So to calculate a Pokemon stat:
(((Hp EV/2.5)*100/Pokemon level)+(HP IV/2)*100/Pokemon level)+ (Pokemon level*100/Pokemon max hp stat Hindering Nature)
Here's an example:
Bulbazaur (http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-rs/001.shtml)
Hp max stat Hindering Nature: 294
HP IV = 37
HP EV = 20
(((20/2.5)*100/34)+(37/2)*100/34)+ (34*100/294) =~88
Thats quite high :D , but we gave the Pokemon an IV of 37 and an EV of 20.
4.Experience
All of you know what experience is so here's how to calculate it:
((Ennemy Base Experience *Enemy Level) * Trainer * Wild) / 7
Trainer checks if the Pokemon trainer ID matches yours if it does trainer =1 otherwise, it ='s 1.5 and for wild it means it ='s 1 if it's a wild Pokemon and 1.5 if you're against a trainer.
So let's say that my starter Squirtle had just defeated my rival's Bulbasaur in Fire Red. The Base Experience for Bulbasaur, mentioned before, is 64. The Level is 5 since it's the first battle you do with your rival. You are the original trainer, so Trainer is equal to 1. It isn't Wild, so Wild = 1.5. Now the only thing left to do is to do the math.
Exp = ((64 * 5) * 1 * 1.5) / 7
Exp = ((320) * 1 * 1.5) / 7
Exp = (480) / 7
Exp = ~68
5.Pokerus
??? :confused: What is Pokerus, well if you have a Pokemon that's got it(you're reaaalllllyyyy lucky :D ) it just means that the Pokemon that has it gets double EV experience :D.

Well I think that I've finished but I'm sure that some things are wrong or I've forgot something....
Please give me advice and other helpful things.
