[Essentials script] Pokémon Selection (similar to Stadium/Battle Tower)

[FL .]

#===============================================================================
# * Pokémon Selection - by FL (Credits will be apreciated)
#===============================================================================
#
# This script is for Pokémon Essentials. It makes a pokémon selection system
# similar to Stadium/Battle Tower, where you can choose a certain number and
# order of pokémon.
#
#===============================================================================
#
# To this script works, put it above main and use in script command 
# 'PokemonSelection.choose(min, max, canCancel, acceptFainted)' where min and
# max are the minimum and maximum pokémon number selection (default values are
# 1 and 6), canCancel when true the player can cancel the selection (default
# is false) and acceptFainted that when true the player can choose fainted
# pokémon and eggs (default is false). This method return if a party is choosen.
#
# To restore the previous party, use 'PokemonSelection.restore'. This do nothing
# is there's no party to restore. Ths method returns if the party is restored.
#
# Between the two commands, don't allow the player to caught or deposit/withdraw
# any pokémon or the pokémon will be lost! However, you pokémon can gain
# exp/level, evolve, change hold item/moves normally. If you try to choose a
# new party before restore the old one, the game raises an error. This won't
# occurs if the previous selection is only an order change. ONLY in Debug mode
# you get the phrase "Generate Pokemon teams for this challenge?", always
# choose "No".
#
# 'PokemonSelection.hasValidTeam?(min, max, canCancel, acceptFainted)' returns
# if your team is valid. If you try to use a invalid team (like putting the
# minimum pokémon number as 3, but only having 2 pokémon), the selection is
# treats as canceled. If the canCancel=false, the game goes in an infinite loop.
#
# Example: To make a 3vs3 battle, use 'PokemonSelection.choose(3,3)' and, after
# the battle (regardless of result) use 'PokemonSelection.restore'. Only allows
# the player to go in the battle if 'PokemonSelection.hasValidTeam?(3,3)' is
# true, or set the minimum as 1.
#
# To perform only an order change, use
# 'PokemonSelection.choose($Trainer,party.size,$Trainer,party.size,true,true)'.
#
# If you take a look in PokemonChallengeRules applications in scripts you can
# customize some others choice conditions like have a certain level or ban
# certain pokémon.

Thank you for this (finally a great script for making the frontier)

I'm glad that people will use this, despite the big instructions.

I tried to use this but when i try this script it directly goes in battle without selection.
Can you write a example script? with battle.
