[Scripting Question] Evolution Method where slowpoke evolution is cancelled

[JohnnyComotion]

I've designed a new Pokémon that Shellder evolves into. However, it's evolution is based solely on Slowpoke evolving into Slowbro, but the evolution must be cancelled in order for Shellder to evolve into the new Pokémon.
I already have a label defined for this, but no other data. I was wondering what would the code look like for such evolution method?

Hey JohnnyComotion, I moved your thread here to the Pokemon Essentials forum. This is the place to ask questions about Essentials.

Wow,that's a long way. I'm not going to give you the detailed code because I believe it's going to take time, but here is the idea.

• You'll have to define a new constant in the module PBEvolution to refer to refer to that method of evolution.
  
• Find the function that handles the evolution of Pokémon. It's the function:
  

    def pbEvolution(cancancel=true)

  in the file PScreen_Evolution. Find the part that handles cancelation. You'll have to add a few lines setting a game switch to true if the evolutoin you canceled was that of Slowpoke into Slowbro, and set that switch to false otherwise.
  
• In Pokemon_Evolution, define a new condition for evolution:
  

  PBEvolution.register(:Level, {
    "shellderBis" => proc { |pkmn, parameter|
      next pkmn.level >= parameter && $game_switches[XXX]
    }
  })

  This tells the game that the special evolution of Shellder should happen only after a level defined in the PBS file, and if the switch you altered before is set to true.

I think it should do the trick.
