    So, in my fangame, I'm implementing intrinsic levitation- basically, instead of a Pokemon's ground-type immunity being tied to being a flying-type or having the ability Levitate, it is individually determined by the Pokemon. Unfortunately, I don't really know where to start working on this; the best idea I have is to make it a new property in the pokemon.txt file, but I don't know where to go from there. Would anybody know what to do next? Sorry to be a bother, and thank you for hearing me out!
     
    Yeah, adding a new property in pokemon.txt (and wiring it up so that it's available on the Pokémon objects[0]), and then you can change the battle logic so that everywhere it checks for the levitate ability[1] it also checks for your new attribute.

    [0] a completely unrelated example of adding a property to Pokémon is my mutually exclusive Pokémon script that adds exclusive to Pokémon objects (the changes in PokeBattle_Pokemon), and also to pokemon.txt (the changes in Compiler).
    [1] i.e. all the "hasWorkingAbility(:LEVITATE)" calls in PokeBattle_Battler, PokeBattle_MoveEffects, PokeBattle_AI, and PBattle_OrgBattleGenerator.
