[Script] Emerald US Version - Opponent Party Size Location in WRAM?

[ringohoffman]

I have found some decompiled memory maps for Emerald online that list these as the party count locations in WRAM:

#define PLAYER_PARTY_COUNT 0x20244E9 // 1 byte
#define OPPONENT_PARTY_COUNT 0x20244EA // 2 bytes

From my testing, the location for the player's party count is correct, but the following 2 bytes are always 0 no matter how large the enemy's team is.

I've taken snapshots of memory when battling 1, 2, 3, and 4 party teams, and I haven't been able to find any addresses that correspond to the enemy team's size.

What is normally done to find out how many pokemon to read from the enemy's party location?

The enemy party count variable is not used for trainer battles. Instead the game just checks which mons have a valid species. You can call this function if you need to get the enemy party's size.
