Error when trying to give my player ANY pokemon. Using V17. I read some things about "shape in the PBS" But what does that mean??

 

[mgriffin]

Based on the error message it seems to be saying that :BULBASAUR is a symbol, not a number (which is true). Do you get that error if you use 1 and/or PBSpecies::BULBASAUR?

 

[ghosties]

Sorry, use "1" what?

Write correctly: BULBASAUR instead BULBSAUR. Also, you can put a number instead the name, like MGriffin said. Bulbasaur is the first into pokedex, so you can put 1,5 or :BULBASAUR,5.
