    So you want to change the player's sprite and picture depending on... something.

    Given you were also asking how to give the player a pokémon, you probably shouldn't be worrying about this kind of minor detail for a while.

    However, find out how the player's sprite and picture is set at the start of the game, and copy that line of script to set it to other sprites/pictures depending on the choice you make.

    I'm not going into detail here (although I could) because you should learn how to make a Pokémon game first. Not to mention lean how to ask more specific questions (Do you want to change the sprite/picture several times throughout the game? Do you want to change it like the "Are you a boy or a girl?" question at the start of the game? Is the start of the game when you want to change it? How many options do you want? ...and so on).

    because you should learn how to make a Pokémon game first.
    i now how to make a pokemon game i just forgot over the summer.let's just say it was a faliure that i wanted to forget.







    Do you want to change the sprite/picture several times throughout the game?

    You want to evolve the trainer into a Lucario over the course of the game? Well, okay...

    The easiest way to do this is create an event (e.g. right in front of a Poké Centre or wherever else the player is bound to step on it), and have it activate only if whatever conditions you want are met (e.g. the player's Level is 42 or higher). If so, change the player's sprite and pictures - if you look up how these are set at the start of the game, you'll find the couple of lines of code that do this.


    Sorry if this is a n00b question but does anyone know of a way to change the name of the the Pokedex to something else on Pokemon Essentials. Ive tried looking through guide for translating it to a different language but realy im a cabbage so any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks, Steven.
    So, in the pause menu, the top entry is called "Journal" or something like that?

    In PokemonMenu, find this line (around 114):

    Code:
    commands[cmdPokedex=commands.length]=_INTL("[COLOR=Red]POKéDEX[/COLOR]") if $Trainer.pokedex
    Change the part in red to whatever you want to call it.

  • Um, dunno if someone's already asked this or not, but is there a starter kit like poccil's for RPG Maker 2k3? I don't have the money to afford the version of RPG Maker XP that let's me use poccil's so I was hoping there's one for 2k3.

  • No there is not. Although if you want a base you could download my old Silk2 demo. It's years old though but better then nothing I guess.

    From what I can understand, you must have deleted or moved the townmap.txt file. Try to find it or download essentials and copy that file.

    There isn't anything that has a dual screen, you have to script one.

    Copy intro again and rename it so you have two identical maps called "Oak Intro" and "Intro"
    set the starting postion on the one you want first and edit them as much as you need to.
