Nature changing mints!

GT-Baka · Nov 6, 2019

These mints were just shown off in the latest trailer for Pokemon Sword and Shield. These are super easy to make, just modify any of the vitamins.
To save you the work I have already make them for you! Since the game has not come out yet, I do not have access to all of the information needed to add the items to the PBS files, however I will update this post when such information becomes available.

Code:

#Changes a Pokemon's nature to be equal to the mint.

I think the Nature won't be changed, only the stats:

Code:

Mints are items that will make their first appearance in these games. They'll impact which stats of your Pokémon are likely to grow faster than usual! Each Pokémon has a Nature, and this Nature can impact which of the Pokémon's stats are likely to grow faster or slower than average. Using a Mint on a Pokémon seems to change these stat-growth patterns! However, a Pokémon's Nature itself won't change even if you use a Mint.

Thank you for the insight, this was my misunderstanding.

Having the mints just change the nature would have being the easier route, does this mean to use the item as intended we would have to add a new variable to the Pokemon stat calculations?

WolfPP · Nov 8, 2019

I think so, unfortunately @_@

SuperSpyroDragon64 · Jul 31, 2020

That sounds insane. Will anyone mind if fangames just make mints change natures directly?

It's probably not a big deal, honestly. The only reason Mints (and Bottle Caps) don't just directly change the Pokemon's attributes in the main series is so that breeding still has a function to some degree (since the Mint natures/bottle capped IV's won't pass down). There's really no other drawbacks to just making them directly change their stats. So unless breeding is super super essential to your game design, it seems way more practical to just have these items directly change things.

SuperSpyroDragon64 · Jul 31, 2020

Sounds good, I'll just put mints in my game that change natures directly.

Does this work in the new V19?

Tried putting it in V19, got new error message popping up when trying to start the game, what do I do?

This script was made for an older version of Essentials, and will not work with v19. You can instead use the Generation 8 Project for v19.1 for Nature Mint functionality instead.

Though your particular error is caused by you not putting your game title in Game.ini, and instead putting it using RPGXP's "Change Game Title" option, which doesn't work in v19.

Thank you, I'll use that.
