HUGE UPDATE:
Hey everyone.
Finally can post this update.
I waited a week until I could get it bug free.
Now it's ready to be showcased.
I present to you:
Mineral Usage Walkthrough
This is in fact, the 3rd part to the PokeCyber update.
The first 2, the storage and the phone, were revealed a lot earlier. The real reason behind the delay of this 3rd update of the PokeCyber was because this was crazy to code lol.
Working out attacks as the Pokemon leveled up was the hardest. But after jumping that hurdle, I flew through it.
So, this part is going to be image heavy.
It's around 11 screenshots, so sorry to slow internet users for this part.
***
REMEMBER: This is on my test map with test wild battles- this map or wild Pokemon does not reflect the final game!***
Let's begin.
Start off by opening your bag from the main menu.
Use the 1 or 3 number keys to navigate between pockets.
Select the PokeCyber, which is the 2nd option.
Scroll down and select "Minerals Menu" in the PokeCyber's main menu.
The Mineral menu is straight forward. It displays your Mineral bits (which you earn after battles)- and your Mineral Tablets (which you get from converting Mineral Bits).
I have no Mineral Tablets, so I can't level up my Pokemon. But I have A LOT of Mineral Bits. Select Convert Mineral Bits to do just that.
Remember what I said before, it's 100 Mineral Bits to equal 1 Mineral Tablet.
The PokeCyber will convert them for you. It will only convert 100 bits (so 1 tablet) at a time. So just re-select the option to make more.
As you can see in the second screenshot, I made 30 (which took away 3000 bits).
The menu for using Minerals is the same as the PokeCyber's storage. Provides a bit of consistency with the overall look of the game.
Since I'm only testing, I decided to just have a Bulbasaur.
I use one Mineral Tablet on him.
DESPITE WHAT I SAID IN AN EARLIER POST, IT IS NOW 1 MINERAL TABLET FOR EVERY LEVEL FOR EVERY POKEMON.
This is to make things easier for the player to just enjoy the game and feel strong in a short playthrough.
As mentioned above. The hardest part of the code was this in fact. As you would expect, as Pokemon level up, they learn new moves. The hard part was working out if they knew 4 attacks already and what they were. Then deleting an old move to make room for the new stuff.
Well it works just as you would expect.
Your Pokemon knows 4 moves and is trying to learn a new move. You can choose to learn the new move or not. If you choose to do learn it, you will be brought to this simple menu. Just select the attack you wish to forget, and "poof" :P, it's gone and your learned the new attack.
Again, as you would expect. Pokemon level up like normal. Well when I say normal, I mean, at the "normal" level and stats and attacks carry over to the new Pokemon.
After feeding my Ivysaur some more Mineral Tablets, I decided to get in a battle to test him out.
I won that battle lol!!
And just for giggles, I feed Ivysaur a couple more Mineral Tablets, leveled him up and evolved him into Venusaur and got into another wild battle that I would kick ass in! HA!
**REMEMBER: Those are "wild" Pokemon on my test map.
Well there you have it.
I hope you enjoyed my walkthrough, and come back when your playing the game and if you get stuck!
