Script: Advanced Pokédex

[FL]

When a switch is ON, it displays at pokédex the pokémon PBS data for a caught pokémon like: base exp, egg steps to hatch, abilities, wild hold item, evolution, the moves that pokémon can learn by level/breeding/TM/TR/HM/tutor, among others.

Tested on Essentials v21.1. More versions on link. If this script isn't working on latest Essentials version, please inform on this thread.

Thanks Richard PT for the graphics!

This is awesome! Nice work. I'm definitely going to use this

As requested:

How to make separate switches for this script activation at each regional dexes:

This won't works if DEXDEPENDSONLOCATION is true.

Change every piece of code that have '$game_switches[AdvancedPokedexScene::SWITCH]' to 'advancedDexAvailable?'. Before line 'class AdvancedPokedex' add:

def advancedDexAvailable?
  dexForSwitch={
    -1 => 70,
     1 => 75,
     3 => 90
  }
  switch=dexForSwitch[$PokemonGlobal.pokedexDex]
  return (!switch || game_switches[switch])
end

In this example, the switch 70 is necessary for activation of Advanced Pokédex at dex -1 (National Dex), the switch 75 is necessary for dex 1 and the switch 90 is necessary for dex 3. You can change the values of dexForSwitch for matching with your dex and switches.

Wait, what do you mean with effort points? Do you mean the Effort Values each Pokemon gains by fighting other Pokemon? If so, why show it in the Pokedex? The Pokedex should display the species data and not individual Pokemon data. Besides that, what happens if you own two of the same Pokemon? Which EVs will be shown? I would suggest that you make the EVs and IVs visible on the screen of each individual Pokemon. The place where you can see their moves and so on.

I believe the effort points he has are the EVs the Pokemon gives upon defeating it, not how many EVs a pokemon has. Krookodile gives 3 Atk EVs, and then the 7th digit is just the total EV yield, which is 3. Some Pokemon give EVs in multiple stats, so if it gave 1 Atk and 1 Def, the 7th digit would read 2, for 2 total EVs.

I seem to be encountering a bug and have no idea what the cause is. The first new pokemon I catch, after I turn the switch for advanced pokedex on, causes the battle screen pokedex data to be empty (no words or pictures of the pokemon) and also the pokemon I just caught is not in my party.

Any idea how I can remedy this? I'm fairly sure I followed the installation instructions perfectly, but it may be something of my own ignorance causing this issue.


Any assistance is greatly appreciated, and thanks for this awesome script! =)

It's a bug! Thank you for the report. Change the line '@sprites["dexbar"].visible=true if $game_switches[AdvancedPokedexScene::SWITCH]' to:

 if @sprites["dexbar"] && $game_switches[AdvancedPokedexScene::SWITCH]
   @sprites["dexbar"].visible=true 
 end

Everyone who uses this script shold do this change. I updated the thread.

Thanks a ton! =) Was going crazy with trying to figure out why it was happening, haha.

This is Pokémon Essentials, buddy.

Nothing here will work in Fire Red.

Thanks for your awesome scripts!

Thanks for your awesome scripts!

Did you follow all the instructions (specially the last one)? Did the switch is on?

Yes I did, the switch was on. I could see the ADV tab on Pokedex but just can't access it.:(

 

[FL]

So, you put the below part, without the comments, correct?

# -After line 'pbChooseForm' add:

 elsif Input.trigger?(Input::RIGHT)
   if $game_switches[AdvancedPokedexScene::SWITCH]
     ret=6
     break
   end

Strange, this is working here and with some users like Lear. When V14 is released I try again the whole process.

Thanks for your nice support! I hope you'll get it working!

Actually, FL was saying that you need to make your own. However, here's one for you - it's literally his fifth screenshot with the text removed.
