How do I show just a National Dex and nothing else?

  • I couldn't find an answer to this question by searching the forum and reading the Wiki on regional dexes didn't help.

    I can set it up so that DEXDEPENDSONLOCATION = true, which obviously won't fix my problem, and then I can set it up to where it's false and then unlock the National Pokédex, so it will give me a list with Kanto Pokédex and National Pokédex.

    I'd really like it to, if anything, just say "National Pokédex" without Kanto or Johto, etc. unless I had all the other dexes-which it doesn't come with.

    Can't I just make it so National Dex is the plain default without dealing with the others?

    Just delete all the RegionalNumbers= lines in pokemon.txt. It makes sense.

    I don't think it matters in this case what you set DEXDEPENDSONLOCATION to, but I'd leave it as true just in case.

    I got it! I attached the file for anyone else. At first it deleted my Pokédex in general, but I just started a new game and it worked. Now it just says Pokédex.

    Thank you very much!

    What I find would have been easier is just to open Notepad and use the replace all function to change all instances of RegionalNumbers to something ridiculous or useless like BegionalNumbers. At that point, the game wouldn't recognize the lines so the game would automatically use only the National Pokedex.

    Exactly.

    You'd still need to start a new game, though. It's just common sense to do so when you've changed something.

    How do you get access to this?
