    This has nothing to do with the question at hand, but does anyone know where the fossil maniac is in the example maps? I'm trying into input him, but I can't find him.

    There is no Fossil Maniac in the example maps. Maybe you're thinking of the fossil reviver, who is in the Pokémon Institute in Cedolan City. Take note of the door event in the city's map that leads into his lab.

    I'm getting an event error when I try to let the Fossil Reviver accomdate all of the fossils....

    Exception: RuntimeError
    Message: Script error within event 47, map 125 (Rakenvale Cave):
    Exception: SyntaxError
    Message: (eval):8:in `pbExecuteScript'compile error

    EDIT: I realized it was a formatting error, but he wont revive the fossils. It lists the choices normally, but when you ask again, he says "Aiyah! You come again!" ,and doesn't even go into reviving the fossil.

    Yo DO know how the fossil reviver works, right? You have to step outside. That's why I said to look at the door event, because in there is what makes the revival happen.

    I, after further looking, found it. Thanks for that. But, when I turn to add both Amaura and Tyrunt to his list...I reach an syntax error with the amount of pokemon I can include within the box...

    That and I believe the number 9 needs to be changed to 11 as you added 2 new fossils to the original 9.

    No you don't. That number is the game variable in which the chosen item/Pokémon is stored.
