How would I go about it?
Because of a busy 2 weeks I still havent figured out how script editing properly works, so any help is much appreciated :)

I have honestly no idea what 2 thirds of this even means...

Would I also have to edit all 3 Rival scripts of each of his appearances or would it be enough to just "ignore" the first one and use the third one as a substitute?
What I mean by that is:
Let's say...
Bulbasaur is now Riolu
Charmander is now Houndour
Squirtle is made inaccessible to the player
If the player chooses Riolu(Bulbasaur), Rival goes for Houndour(Charmander) and all is well
If the player chooses Houndour, Rival is supposed to go for Riolu. Now I would need to edit the Rival's movements so he actually picks Riolu-Ball and not Squirtle-Ball (which is non-existent), that I understand.
BUT!
Can I leave his Battle Scripts alone, so he uses the teams he picks with Squirtle?
If my hypothesis is right, that would mean I would only need to edit the teams, and not the scripts itself, which should mean a bit less work and thus a bit less prone to bugging it up..?
